Good morning. A chilly start to the day at 45 degrees early this morning. Actually got a fire going to take the chill off. The high is expected to be only in the mid 50's but warming back up into the 80's in a few days. Been busy again with chores. we et my daughter and the two youngest grand sons for lunch Saturday after the wife got back from town with the groceries. I got the boys a caat with an anchor on it because they like my Navy ball caps.
Riker and Rogan. Outdoor dining with none of the waiters wearing masks
We had out league meeting for the bowling this fall to elect officers and inform the people about the bullshit we have to put up with at the bowling lanes. Our dipshit liberal governor put a mask mandate in for the state and the lanes have to enforce the mandate in order to stay open. We did lose a couple of teams because non bowlers are not allowed into the lanes and the bowlers with children had to drop out as they would need baby sitters. The mandate ends in October so we are hoping it won't be extended and they can then join in. I don't wear one anyway.
Alan - Excellent work on the dome car.
Lee - Like those O scale photos.
Karl - Great WalMart video. I used to get regular Walmartian photos but the guy sending them to me unfortunately passed away. Glad that you got the locomotive figured out. Happy to see you are ready to start a layout.
Willie - Glad that we don't have to put up with multiple languages up here. I was very good with languages and with having 4 years of French in school, I picked up Italian and Spanish (European) easily. When we lived in Florida, I found Cuban different from the Spanish I knew although it is written the same. Puerto Rican and Mexican are also different not only from the European Spanish, but also Cuban and Puerto Rican. I live in the United States and speak English.
Louis - Love the GG-1 photos. I never used the On-Star on my Buick. Threw the antenna in the trunk under the spare tire.
IBKen - That is one sweet B&O locomotive.
Ray - Nice shot of the SD-35. Also enjoyed the video on the war birds. We had a B-26 at the airport the past weekend and took the two grandsons to see it. We have quite a few war birds at our airport. I worked there a number of years back to get to know the pilots and to get recertified as my pilots license was no good as I hadn't flown in years. I did get recertified and got a ride in Chuck Hall's P-51.
It was a job trying to get into the jump seat where the radio equipment was during the war. The tower usually liked to have Chuck make a low pass down the runway before he landed. Nothing like the sound of a P-51.
Chad - That is on interesting building in that photo.
Patrick - That tower is coming along nicely. I have a number of Silver Streak kits. Years back they were probably some of the best kits on the markets.
Still have a couple not built in the box.
Have some thing to do plus it's almost lunch time.
