Good morning,

Rick, thanks for opening, coffee, and breakfast.  The scavenger hunt sounds like fun.

Curt, good luck cleaning.

Larry, looking forward to your update.

TomO, good luck with the scene and backdrop.

TomACL, wishing you fun in the train shed.

How goes the rest of the crew?

It's a bright morning, warming to 71F this afternoon.  I had fun at the open houses yesterday.  It had been many years since I was able to run trains. Today I hope to get upstairs.

Have fun,
mike

Morning everyone

Running late this morning.
And Diane is calling to have something done.

Rick sorry I missed the ride to IHop.

Maybe some time at bench after I get done with the 1:1 whatever she has in mind.

And no Rick I haven't given up on wall 4.

Everyone have a great day!!  :)

Good afternoon everyone.
Thanks for the coffee Rick, I'm way too late for breakfast, sounded like a fun trip.  Glad the scavenger hunt was fun.  Glad you went back to evaluate old pictures, todays is fantastic.  Should be a fun race later.

Curt, sounds like it was a very long day for MOH.  Hope the day went well for her.

Larry, hope the back porch floor washing goes well, and you make it to the bench.

TomO, glad to hear that you and Terry had a great time at the game, sounds like it was an exciting game.  The backdrop should be an interesting project.

Tom, Glad you and Pam had a great day yesterday.  Good luck with the list.  I think If I made a list I would get discouraged due to the length of the list. :o

Dave, have a great day.

Current weather here is 13c (56c) and sunny.  Well didn't make it to the modeling room yesterday, well I did but no modeling got done.  I ended up spending the afternoon cleaning up the fallen branches and raking leaves.  I then spent some time thinking about my website which hasn't been updated since July 20th, 2018. :o   I think I would like to keep it going to document current projects as I lost a lot of work when the RR Lines forums closed.  I also did some documentation work required for the Model Railroad Engineer - Electrical certificate for the NMRA AP's achievement program. 

Not promising anything for today, as I don't feel like doing anything.

Have a great day everyone.

You have visited some absolute gorgeous spots in the USA and captured them in photos that are just inspiring. I've been to a few of the locales but never hiked them to what is now a touch of regret on what we missed. Well done!

I used to love the Sunday rides in the old Crew Van at the RRL Forums and still miss a few of the guys. It's too bad Bernd, Bruce, Pete and Jim among some others did not migrate over.
Tom, the Pete who uses Orionvp17 as his forum name has been active on Modeler's Forum as recently as May of this year. My most recent email from him was in early September. I recall Bruce as being rather unhappy about the end of RR-Line, about the same time he retired and left NJ for IIRC Michigan. There are people in the Garden State Division I could ask.  Bernd's most recent post was about a week ago, relating to his I now own four CNC machines thread. I see some indications BurleyJim was on this forum last year, but nothing more recent.

Good night, all. Spent the day on paperwork, apples and taking the last Pawpaws to the farmstand. Time to head up to bed.

Thanks James. I know Bernd posts on MRH Forums but I stopped visiting there daily. Now maybe once or twice a month just browsing. It was a great group of modelers that were wonderful personalities
