Good Morning,

James sounds like a good apple crop. Having worked in produce for about 20 years I can appreciate a good apple.

Rick thanks for the coffee and breakfast as well as the gorgeous photo. I'm sure you can find something to do inside to occupy your time.....maybe resurrect one of your kits to build??

Mike have fun with the computer problem. Hmmm.....being at the bench or take a nap....that's a tough one.

Tom sorry to hear the Judge isn't doing better; getting old sucks. Hope the rest of the radiation goes well and there's no lasting side effects.

What's your plans?

It's a cloudy 48 with a high of only 65. Put up Fall decorations on and off most of yesterday and hopefully they can be finished up today. Have a few errands to run shortly then taking out the portable A/C unit upstairs; will make it much warmer up there. Bench time???

Have a great day!! Be well, heal up, and stay safe.

We had some fog this morning, but that's burned off.  Yesterday brought a bit of rain, it was damp and drizzly all day.  I won't talk about the F-word after yesterday's disappointing game.  Since I wasn't happy with the roof on the little laser cut shed, I drew up new roof components, and will try cutting them from a different material (other than the 1/16 wood), once I'm back from German class this morning.

Good morning from So. Central Wisconsin where Terry and me play horse sitters till Thursday. The daughter and family flew out last night. 8 horses that I need to feed, let out in the fields and call back in for the evening. No mucking out of stalls or grooming as 2 high schoolers on the payroll get to do that after school. 3 of the horses are the daughter's the other 5 are boarders. If Terry wants to ride I will join her. Not riding has been tough for her but her health issues really limit her. For years she rode every day.

Not sure what today's other plans are as I have nothing figured out.

The 10 day weather forecast has no 70 degree temperatures in it. Too cool with the winds blowing to sit on the deck or out under the Pergola!

Rick, the trees are on the shelves! I'm taking a break from other layouts and their projects. I anm ahead of schedule so it's fine! I still plan to take them up on 10/7 whether the scenery is ready or not. The trees will be ready on the day promised. I've been selling off some of my equipment and seriously thinking about what direction of the hobby I want to go in. I sold off a couple of my CN Gp40-2L's, a Wisconsin Interstate Gp40-2L and another W plus a few pieces of rolling stock. I am hoping the train show this weekend will spark something. I need to start work again on my friend's paper mill as the space for it is ready for installation.

Terry finally broke down and ordered the greenhouse she has been talking about for the last 3-4 months. 12' wide x 32' long build on a 4' knee wall cut into a south facing hill. We are going to try pounding a sand point well to provide water but 1st I need to get the contractor out to create the space and pour the walls. The 36" raised cedar beds and those hanging bag things while good have not fulfilled her veggie needs. Our growing season has really been messed up with the climate change. The daughter and SIL had suggested a couple weeks ago I surprise Terry by having a "tiny" home added. That way Terry can have a get away place. I'm thinking about it but why after 50+ years would my wife want to get away from me?

Not sure what other plans there might be until SWMBO wakes.

Enjoy the day

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Rick.

Tom, sorry to hear Bill isn't getting any better, hopefully that will change in the near future.

Current weather here is 11c (51f) and partly cloudy.  Had a great time this weekend running trains and kibitzing with the gang.  Our next setup is near the end of November.  Well something interesting happened on my modules this weekend as it had an alien invasion , seems like there was a crash landing.  I'll post pictures in the next couple of days.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning everyone

Rick thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
Nice picture.
Now that your cooped up inside maybe you should start modeling again??!!

Mike I hope your cardio visit goes well.

Larry you have a full schedule today.

TomO sounds like you in for a lot of gardening down the road.

Ron I hope the crash wasn't to bad!!!

Weather in South Jersey is cloudy/71.  Showers later.
Wall 3 is almost framed and ready for the shingles again but this time right.

Everyone have a great day!!

Good Afternoon All,

Today I've already completed chores and Dad errands. Tomorrow he has an appointment first thing at a new Urologist (his previous retired), and he has a field trip on Friday if he goes since he still has congestion.

Didn't sleep well last night so no energy for the train room.

I hope everyone has a good day.

We arrived home in good shape. Sun in the UP morphed to mostly cloudy skies one back beneath the bridge with the trolls. Highest temperature seen was 63, 7 pm now it's in the 50s.

Funny thing the hummingbirds were very active at the feeder at the cedar swamp this am and anxious for a fresh jug of sweet stuff back here at home. Very late for them, especially in UP.

Watch last quarter of the Steelers dismissal game and enjoyed the Sunday nightcap, quite intense. Colts came oh so close. May see the game tonight too. Rested my eyes for an hour while my "ears" recharged.

Back to the yard tomorrow and maybe some bench time, too.

ACLTOM thanks for the update. Best wishes to the Judge.

The Egg McRick sounds like a good breakfast, Rick. Ronald's used to be a favorite. Eggs not my favorite these days. Maybe a Sausage RikGriddle would work too.

Enjoy all, nice to be home. Near $5 gas takes the edge out of traveling right now. You would not tell from the traffic, tho.
