Good evening Shop Dwellers! 61*F, calm and dark in my Central MD neighborhood. The smoke from the West Coast really dimmed the sunlight earlier today, made it seem just like it does during a partial solar eclipse.
Before I forget - thanks for all the "likes" you guys left on my last couple of posts on Friday, even though they had no photos. I'm just feeling too dang lazy at the moment to go back and capture names from that many pages ago...
My weekday mrr time has been seriously curtailed since I resumed my treadmill regimen two weeks ago, after discovering I'd put on an extra 17 lbs
since my last doctor visit in March. I've been too sedentary working from home these past 6 months, and it finally caught up with me! I don't mind the exercising so much, but the whole routine - drive over to my daughter's house [it's her treadmill], change into my running garb, run for ~45 minutes, shower-off the sweat and change into fresh street clothes, then drive home - that uses up 2 hours of my free time every Monday - Wednesday - Friday, that I might otherwise have had for mrr. [Geez there I go complaining again, I guess I should be thankful to God that - at
my age - I still have the strength and health to
actually do these exercises...]
Sherrell - a belated
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ya!
Troy - your layout is coming along nicely. Seems like no matter how carefully you plan, something
always doesn't seem to fit as well in real life as it did on paper [been there done that].
Lee - your O scale stuff is lookin' good, I don't normally see very much of that in here. The vehicles really stand out, especially that GMC box cab (I think there is a nickname for it but I can't remember what it is...) - wish I could find one of
those in HO!
Guy - that "staging" yard in the photo you shared on page 26 just "cries out" to be modeled!
Joe - enjoyed seeing wide-angle views of your layout (pg 24).
Everyone else - wish I had enough time to comment on all of your fine pics but that's not the case tonight, so my "likes" will have to suffice for now...
Cheers!
