We're all electric here. We live out in the country with no gas service, so we'd have to get a propane tank put in and fill it as needed. Didn't want to put up that much cash and with our house being fairly new, our bills aren't too bad.

I think you're right Mcleod, but I'm done tryin to talk to her. She is of the mindset that America can do nothing right and we owe everybody something. Of course she is on minimal income so she has no liability to pay out to anybody.

I've had brake wheels in every Accurail kit that I have purchased, going back to the late 90's. I have over 125 of their cars.
Not a lot of info available about the company. Their website is mostly a catalog, but you might try e-mailing them.

I feel the opposite. If they served their country by providing military service whether they saw combat or not, I believe:
free health care for life and that does not need to be provided only at VA Center Medical facilities
food allowances for life, serve your country but can’t feed your family, so WRONG
I don’t even want to know what she thinks of the police
Anyway, we still are a free country and she is entitled to her views which makes the USA so great. I happen to disagree with her on this view

Seems kinda strange to not be waiting for glue or paint to dry on some model!
I have finished working on things for the club layouts on holiday display this year.
Since summer, I have taken a few hundred photos of work on the club and my little projects.
I have been making sure I have downloaded all the pictures from the DSLR camera and phone.
As I started putting photos in specific files, I found that about 50% of the phone photos were blurred or the items were off center. I did seem to get better at composing the pictures as time went on.
I have shared (and maybe over shared) many of the better photos with you, and I thank those who made comments.

Same free inhalers as I passed the 6 0…I was still struggling to understand that I was now classed as old! until the goats flipped me and broke my ankle and dislocated my knee for the first time I feel everyone of those 60s
am improving but walk like a constipated duck,still I am able to totter without a walking aid because the stick made me lean and then my hip started hurting, having never had a break before (well a toe but hardly slowed me) and as one who was always racing around like the proverbial blue xxxed fly I find this slow shuffle really annoying,my aunt 30s years my senior was zooming around until the point she died……yeah that one will eventual stop me.

Good Morning Everyone....the heavy snow escaped our part of Wisconsin, but we did get high winds and some good rain lat night and now we have light snow. Thoughts out to those in Kentucky and experienced that terrific tornado.
TomO: I have sleeping problems also. I fall asleep early and then wake up at 10:30 PM and can't not get back to asleep no matter how hard I try. I watch TV until sunrise and then fall asleep for a couple of hours.
I forgot the correct numbers, but it takes like seven to ten military service members to support one combat soldier. Every military veteran should be taken care of in their civilian life.
Movie afternoon today with Riley and Cathy. I love buttered popcorn with cold milk.
Maybe some modeling tomorrow since the Packers play at night on SNF.
That's about all for me today.

Afternoon All,
Did a couple of small chores, then headed up to the train room. On the layout today was a short day. First, I "rusted" the rails with acrylic paint. After that I did a black wash on the siding. After this I mounted the yard office (final position) and did the landscaping around it including hooking up the exterior light. Tomorrow I plan on starting the dirt ballasting on the siding.
GO NAVY BEAT ARMY
Thank you for the picture likes yesterday. No photos today.
Guy- Beautiful modeling. You have to let us know how the PECO works out. Hopefully it's better than the Shinohara one.
Greg- It's really frustrating, isn't it? At least in both cases it was just an inconvenience. Nice photo.
Joe- I was just teasing you. Dad retired from the Army.
Jaz- Well done! Those scenes look real. Nice scratch build. I thought it was a rabbit cage-shows what I know!
TomO- Very nice scenes.
Jesse- Nice buildings. I have purchased brick (resin) smokestacks online.
D&J- I'm sorry but that's just not right.
Tom H.- Thank you. The F3's are in dire need of weathering.
Willie- Nice scenes.
Jerry- Interesting looking hopper.
I hope everyone has a good night.

People often heat at 20 or 21 degrees especially when older,you can go down to 18 but wear warm layers in case of droughts which make it colder,try 1 degree at a time, we go 18 and have duvets in the sitting room to snuggle under,we can afford the bills but are tight axxx gits
wew have 2 chimneys and 20 acres so as long as we dry the wood we could burn it, but if not 20 percent wet max you risk carbon monoxide so get a detector if burning own wood,we bought a woodburner stove but we yet to get it fitted - laziness and busy with other things,we had wads of solar 25kwp but come winter and clouds we are lucky to charge the ev. We are tearing out gas central heating and going electric,less maintenance,less water leaks,not needing to replace every 8+ years which is a heavy investment, we chose oil rads which we move half run only if excess solar and half are programmable,we also shut down rooms we don’t need in winter and invest in heavy curtains, and pop old towels as droughts on doors we don’t use in winter. A mishmash I know but it suits us,and we have never bothered about other people opinion,when family was saying you have a good income get a professional fitted kitchen bathroom etc we fitted our own and overpaid the mortgage and paid over years early,keeping up with the Jones’s is not us. Never bought a new car and barring mortgage and the odd car we buy cash or not at all,and we have not struggled for cash for a very long time, no debts no interest,lived within our means.
pine kitchen is in granny annexe silver and as kitchen is main kitchen. Husband fitted flat pack units, I did wall tiling and painting,tiled floor was a professional, pine is 16 years silver is 13 years, only sink unit has been replaced as water damage did get into doors. not grand but does the job, replaced sink with stainless steel
