Good morning everyone.

43 now, sunshine and 64 later.

TomO, thanks for the coffee and breakfast.
All the best to Terry with her tests and upcoming surgery.
All those foods you made sound yummy.

Larry, have fun with the kit and hope it's just rain.

Curt, hope your busy day goes smoothly.

Jerry, there was work yesterday and today too.

Ron, congratulations on the MB championship.
I'll go look at your new thread after posting here,

Philip, read your post and Peter Piper popped into my head.  ;D

Dave, have fun working on the stream bed.

How's everyone else.

Usual happening here today.
After work and Star and I have had our lunch we'll go for a walk through the neighborhood.
I'll also read more of my book.
I've been reading Lonesome Dove.
All the reviews I read about the book said it was their favorite book and it's my favorite now too.

Went through pictures from this summer and worked on this one.

Morning all.....

I agree, Lonsome Dove is a good read, but as I remember, the story didn't really zip along.

Morning all

Thanks for breakfast TomO. All the best for you and Terry. 

I just finished edging the grass, taking a break, and the time to cut the grass. Edging and cutting the grass is one of my happy places.

Pam said she wants to take me out of a salad and pizza later this afternoon. I'll be ready!  ;D

Have a safe, happy and healthy day everyone.

Hard frost and chilly in MI.  8)  Sun right now.

Watched Bears and Buccaneers last night.  Never seen a game quite like that before. More turnovers than the bakery in town.  LIONS played well.

About 10 am yesterday the Doll asked if I was going to the Train Show? Hmm...thought it was next week, "Nope, look..." so off I went, huge crowd, I'm sure the Lansing Club did well.  Bought a few things. 

Little to add this morning, be well all.

Good morning,

Curt, thanks for opening.  Good luck with all your errands.

TomO, thank you for breakfast.  Best wishes for Terry.  That's a load of doctor stuff. Sounds like yesterday was a successful grilling day.

Larry, the kit sounds like fun.  I'm sure you will have a blast with it.

Rick, wishing Star and you a great walk-about. Thanks for the nice photo.

Gregory, have a good one.

TomACL, enjoy the yard work. Pizza sounds perfect after all that work.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's a beautiful morning but cold at 44F.  It should warm to 71F this afternoon. 

Sharon and I caught a stomach bug that has been hanging on since last Wednesday.  As a result, I haven't felt like doing anything but reading.  I did think a lot about what to build next, and I think it will be the Kitwood turntable (same one as Ron's).

It was a good football weekend for both my college and NFL teams. 

Have fun,
mike

Speaking of "train shows", I see Springfield has changed their pre-registration procedures.  They no longer send you armbands if you register in advance.  Instead, you get a QR Code that you show at booths to get your armband.  You can also pre-pay for parking, again a QR Code that you show to get in.  I'm not sure about those changes.  They'll add backups to get the armband that buying armbands in advance prevented. 

German class this morning, then a trip to the store.  Working on the stream testbed in the afternoon,

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast TomO, Sounds like you have a very busy day planned, hope the issues with Terry's heart is minimal and easily treated.  Good to hear that her surgery is still on track.

Curt, sounds like you have a very busy day too, hope your reamers arrive today.

Larry, you should be happy with the Bar Mills Kit, I've built them in 3 scales and the instructions are pretty good.

Rick, Nothing like a little rain to make the race interesting, It's been a great year for Mercedes.  Enjoy your walk through the neighbourhood with Star.

Greg, good morning.

Tom, have fun mowing the grass and enjoy lunch with Pam later.

Karl, glad you had some success at the train show.

Mike, hope you and Sharon get rid of the bug real soon.  You will enjoy building the turntable.

Dave, I see the Springfield show is "modernizing".  Have fun at your german class.

Current weather is 9c (48f) overcast with drizzle which should be on and off all day.  The Mrs. had some 1:1 things for me to do, nothing major, just a few small things.  Ended up watching the F1 race and football and worked on a wiring diagram for the planetary stepper motor, I think I got it all figured out.  I started a thread on it last night and hope to update it this evening.

Have a great day everyone.
