    Upgraded the workbench this weekend! I actually had this for a few years now and I'm finally putting it to good use. The only thing left to do on it will be replacing the balsa wood backboard with some actual pegboard. Edit: Wow that pic looks so blurry..

    Of course right as I hit "post reply" it starts raining (not that I'm complaining)

    Good morning everyone, currently 81 and sunny. No rain right now but we're expecting storms this afternoon. Hard to believe it's October already, almost feels like it should be August. This year is going by quick imo. And happy anniversary @migalyto!

    Sounds like one of my packages from earlier this month. Houston held onto it for a week, then Dallas wanted it, the Houston wanted it again. Finally delivered after 20 days of playing keep-away 🙃

    Forum Slow Again

    Pretty much this. The pictures wouldn't want to upload due to the "inactivity." But after refreshing the page the pics will then upload fine and are able to be attached into the post.

    Evening folks, currently 88 and a little muggy from yesterday's 3/4" of rain (finally!) It was late in the evening but the ground has already sucked it all up. My most recent purchase arrived yesterday as well. Since I don't have a layout for continual running, I bought a set of Bachmann EZ...

    Good evening everyone, currently 83 and feels fairly pleasant outside while a breeze is blowing. Monday through Thursday of last week, me and my folks went down to Bolivar Peninsula for my dad's birthday. It's just a stone throw away from Galveston, we try to go every year. A couple views from...

    I do have another Athearn SW7 that someone painted with the gray and black two-tone, all it needs is the CB&Q decals.😁

    I appreciate it! The only thing I've done on the SW7 since its last photo was add horns to the roof. Still need to put in the windows and make handrails, and will consider it "done" until I decide how to paint it.

    Haven't posted anything here in quite some time. Recently started up another project :rolleyes: I'm sure y'all know how that goes. ;) What started off as an Atlas GP7 body is quickly becoming a chop-nose GP10/11/whatever. The DB has been completely removed, long hood has been mostly smoothed...

    Evening folks. Currently 88, humid, and still. Site was finicky earlier today, seems alright now. Dark clouds and some thunder today, but no rain. Did get a good downpour right as I was leaving work yesterday. As much as I like lasagna, eating it every day would make me hate it. 😶 Though I do...

    Evening folks, first time being back on the site since Thursday(?), bossman and his wife went on vacation and I got to house- and animal-sit for them. Didn't feel like hopping on during that time. It's still hot and still dry. Did have some rain last week but you wouldn't be able to tell.

    Oh made it to the first page of the Coffee Shop. 😁 Morning folks, currently 80 and sunny, we're expecting rain this evening from tropical storm Edouard. It'll probably be around the same time I head over to my boss' for Taco Tuesday.

    Good evening folks. Phone says it's currently 98. Tomorrow's forecast calls for either sunny and also 98, or rainy with a high of 85. I prefer the rain, we sure could use it. Been slowly gathering parts and pieces for future projects and kit-bashing. The parts tote is becoming full, I guess I...

    Happy Anniversary to my lovely wife

    Congratulations to you and the missus! :)

    Good evening/night folks. Today's weather looked promising with dark, rumbling clouds; some areas got a downpour while others remain dry. My job and house are the latter. I don't think we even broke 100 today. The forum has been a little slow for the past few days, but no error messages. Even...

    Morning folks, currently 83 and partly sunny. We actually had a drizzle early this morning, just enough to make the driveway wet but not enough to register in the rain gauge. Though we do had a 40% chance for the rest of the day, we'll see how that goes...

    Make sure to add Himalayan Possum onto the menu, after you found "Him-a-layin" on the road. 😁

    Morning folks, currently 85 with some clouds floating around. Had a nice cloud coverage earlier but that's quickly dissipating. The site was struggling for me yesterday evening, but seems to be doing ok this morning. I have no idea when I plan on attempting it, but I'd like to rebuild and...

    Afternoon folks, phone currently says 104 but feels like 109. Went outside after lunch because there was cloud coverage, but once I came out so did the sun. Stayed out like an hour and called it quits. A/C for the remainder of the day it is!
