Just got off the phone.
I still have the tags off the Suburban we owned while in CA.ONE of the few items that is nice out here is that the plates remain with the car/truck when traded or sold.
Funny that I have lived in eight different States and one foreign country and cannot remember the differences?
Get the hook!Do tractor-trailer drivers fully retire, or do the semi retire?
David: Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Both knees are bone on bone, ad getting more wobbly by the day. No choice but to upgrade.
David: A designation for track Zero. "Oh", Naught are other common terms used to designate track # 0. Most commonly used in train order / track warrant format.
Chet: Outstanding photo. That could be the car. An acquaintance used to own the 1960 Convertible version...Whatta chick Magnet. Another acquaintance, a girl who worked at Piasecki Aircraft, had a white '59 Impala convertible. She used it as a guy magnet.
Ken: Thanks. I hope this somehow doesn't unravel at the last minute.
Garry: Obviously, we share that like. Saw some Denver Zephyr and Nebraska Zephyr photos, the other day, and immediately thought of your (kitbash) observation car.

No choice but to upgrade. of the Phillies Specials brught back a memory of the day one wrecked in Steeltown, along the Susquehanna. Freshly laid rail that "heat kinked" under movement. Around 1964 0r 1966. Used to think about that, when I accelerated to 110MPH along that stretch, on my Eastward run from the "Burg" to Philly.

Good Morning All. Clear and 76° here on Juneteenth. The rain chance originally in the forecast for Sunday has now been removed. Last time that we had rain was May 16. At least I am not mowing much right now. Highs have been staying in the low 90's for now, so the pool water has been staying in the low to mid 80's, quite comfortable.
We made the weekly grocery/beer trek yesterday without incident. Face mask usage was nearly 100% at the grocery, the Vitamin Shop and the wine store. Looks like Kroger has picked up some of the diverted school groceries to sell. The vegetable aisle was stocked full of three and five pound cans of veggies. Never have seen that before. Meanwhile my backyard grocery has been producing around two dozen tomatoes a day, it's time to process some more. Today the plan is to make some homemade salsa using onions, garlic, cilantro and jalapenos; all of which also came from the garden.
Scrambled eggs and a pile of bacon this morning Flo. How about a hot buttered whole wheat English Muffin to go with that.
Thanks for the likes and comments yesterday everyone; Patrick, Guy, Sherrel, Joe, Louis, Garry, Chet, Chad, Jerome, Curt, Mikey, Hughie, Tom, Karl.

Yes! An unopened bottle of Polly Scale Concrete paint that I had bought back in 2013, as evidenced by the date that I wrote on the bottle. OK, back to the workbench with the structure base and out came the paintbrush.
Once repainted, I was able to add the remaining details and the first four figures to the scene. I also added all of the remaining window treatments

Earlier I also completed the stair railing to the side stairway.

The reason that I found the paint was that I was looking for another color to use for some additional figures that I am painting for this scene.
I'll start today with gluing the structures to the base and adding a few more figures and call this portion of the CUP complete. Further away, I began to also add some ground cover along the main line. I am looking at acquiring some additional structures for this area.
Sherrel -
No it wasn't a waste, I needed to know what that one looked like for future reference. If nothing else, it was an extra primer coat. It will work for newer concrete, just not there.
Terry - Prayers and best wishes for your wife. Glad that you resolved the TP issue last week. Good luck with your bureaucracy issues.
Anyone else here miss Johnny?
Everybody have a great day.
Afternoon All,
No modeling until Monday most likely. Went to IKEA today. We figured out ahead of time what we wanted (4 things) of which they had 1 in stock. I did find a set of 3 level rolling baskets for when I do scenery. Tomorrow I have a funeral of a train acquaintance to go to.
Louis- Wow. If I saw that on a layout I would think the weathering was over the top. Interesting weight car.
Terry- Don't you just love bureaucracy? Sorry to hear about your wife's continuing C-Diff issues. Didn't she have the stool replacement previously or am I thinking of someone else?
Tom- Another great sunset.
Sherrel- Nice looking Frisco loco.
Willie- You got lucky! Nice looking city block and details.
I hope everyone has a good evening.
After seeing many trucks on the highway today, I wondered.......
Do tractor-trailer drivers fully retire, or do they semi retire?
