Good morning everyone.

25 right now, mostly sunny with a high of 45 later.

Coffee, sodas and OJ are ready.
Sausage patty, fried egg and a slice of cheddar on a toasted english muffin for breakfast.

Greg, morning.

Ron, did your team win?

Mike, what did you end up working on yesterday?

Karl, did you end up going to dinner?

Dave, did you finish the second kit?

Philip, what's new?

Jerry, how'd the eye appointment go?

Curt, hope you have better luck with the replacement parts.

ACLTom, hope you're feeling better today.

TomO, how's Terry doing?

How's everyone else?

Doctor visit went well yesterday.
Blood was drawn and ultrasound too.
Was told there's still one stone on the left side that right now is small enough I should be able to pass on my own if it drops.
Right side looks clear.
Short three hours at work today.

As star and I were returning home from our walk yesterday I saw this train stopped just in front of the grade crossing.
I took this picture and right after the train started moving again.
I could of made it across in time but decided to wait since most of the trains here are fairly short.
This train was the exception.
There were at least a 100 or more of tank cars filled with denatured alcohol.
I wonder where it was going and what they use all that alcohol for.

Good Morning All,

Thanks for opening and breakfast Rick. Is there a alcohol plant by you?

Starting out here at a cool 49F and heading to 66F today. Tomorrow will be cool also. The animals are caged and ready for their travels north today with MOH, but first is the annual HOA meeting that the president (MOH) is making me attend. That is 2 hours I will never get back.

Yesterday I started painting detail parts. I've painted the large pieces and working on crates now. After that is the barrels and drums.

Have some cleaning after MOH leaves so probably no workbench today.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning,

Rick thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Hope the other stone drops soon. 3 hours work? you won't even break a sweat! Enjoy the rest of your day.

Curt sounds a little chilly down your way. Details is the "fun stuff".

What's your plans.

It's a cloudy 37 with a high of 44 and rain. Yesterday we had out first taste of the "white crap" but thankfully it was only a trace but still..... Not much going on here but maybe some bench time this am.

Have a great and safe day!! Be well and heal up in needed.

Have a great day everyone.
If you had waited around, you would have seen a second train with tank cars carrying India Ink...  How do you think the prototype does their weathering?   ;D

Second gon just needs assembly.  Also I got some small pebbles to play with in the river bed, and will probably do some Envirotex Lite pours into my little testbed.

Morning everyone

Rick thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
One long train.
Are you going to start making your own bourbon???  ;D

Curt have fun at the HOA meeting!!

Larry make sure you keep the "stuff" up there!

Weather in South Jersey is cloudy/39.  Later on 46.
Didn't get the results for my ultrasound yet.
But my eye exam went well no changes in the old eyes.
Maybe a little time at the bench later or cleaning my room up it's a mess.

Everyone have a wonderful day!!  :)

Good morning,

Rick, thanks for opening, coffee, and breakfast.  Good news from the doctor.

Curt, LOL about attending the HOA event.

Larry, glad the sneaux wasn't too plentiful.

Dave, good luck with the riverbed.

Jerry, congrats on the good eye doc report.

Gregory, the same person visited here, too.  Wishing for the hot days of August.

Ron, I'm going to school on your turntable chronicle.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's bright, windy, and cold here.  Yesterday I started work on the turntable.  It's the same one Ron has and described its build.  No football today; Ole Miss couldn't get a flight...

Have fun,
mike

Cold, upper 30s and grey in MI. Sitting waiting for a few more folks to show up for a NMRA Div 5 meeting on the far side of Lansing. Far enough i rarely attend. 1-2 times a year they  meet closer to home.

No, did not go to dinner, apparently the deal fell apart.

Heading home today I'm picking up some Chinese take out.

Meeting started. See y'all later.
