Good Morning All. Happy Boxing Day to all subjects of the Commonwealth nations. Clear, sunny and 28° here on the SFW estate. Up & down high temperatures for the next 10 days depending on the clouds or lack of. Lows around freezing most of the time, typical January pattern.
Wife decided yesterday morning before we left that she didn't want to spend the night in Dallas, so home we came. We brought along the granddog since her family is leaving for South Jersey tomorrow morning to see SIL's parents. She warned me in advance so Grandpa would limit his alcohol intake. She cannot see well enough to be able to drive in the dark except at reduced speeds. The Christmas Day festivities were OK, nothing special, but too much good food at both places. I'll post my model railroading booty later today. It's still out in the car right now. While I have no issue going out in my robe and slippers only, the melting frost will get the robe wet as I lean in and remove stuff. I already have doggie footprints in the kitchen since she doesn't understand the concept of walking on the mat when she comes in.
I wasn't in the train shed yesterday, but sometime recently I started the second of the three resin kits from NuComp Miniatures that I dug out earlier this month.
Yep! The mobile home. Originally this kit and 5 other mobile homes along with the storage shed and the yet to be done mowers/soda machines were in one combo kit containing 8 total kits. This is the last mobile home to be done; the other 5 already reside on the layout.
Simple enough although resin kit parts from this manufacturer are notorious for their poor fit. Plus many were warped slightly which takes a bit longer to glue together.
Painting will commence next. I did install the window glass already.
Troy - Dammit fellow, get well soon.
Terry - A girlfriend who can work on cars! That's a keeper.
I came across an interesting website Sunday for all types of news especially politics. It's called All Sides News. They take the day's leading stories and aggravate both left and right sources so you can see the difference. Example: comparing Fox News and MSNBC's takes on the same story. They don't take sides, just present all sides as their name implies.
All Sides
That's it for now, everyone have a great day; stay warm and safe.
