Good morning from So. Central Wisconsin where the WeatherChannel app says 2”+ of white stuff on the ground with more coming. The snow really doesn’t bother me but the ice covered streets and the steady 16mph winds do, gusts are up to 30. The plows are not plowing but they are dropping the sand/ice melt mix they have used the last couple of years. I’m inside and since we have power and heat we are fine. The Monday grocery run minus soda was done yesterday because we actually believed the guessers on this snow event.
Seems interesting that you want to be a hit man and you go to a website that is titled hitmen for hire or something like that and then advertise you are available for hire. Any wonder why the FBI ”surprised” you at the meeting to arrange a hit??? Let’s see, another 21 year old male, in the National Guard or was and goes online to tell not only the world but the FBI yeah I will kill for $5000. When Terry was telling me this I told her sounds to me like the website was done as a joke. Well it was, the owner of the site who alerted the FBI says it’s a parody site. What are our kids learning now-a-days? Plus $5000 is too low a price for a hit… just saying!
I have the 9 twisted wire armatures formed for a present I need for the Quaking Aspen trees I am trying to make at the bench. Actually I made 30 armatures, in case of. I stopped using the candle wax and hot glue was a mess. So I melted white crayons for the bark of the 9 trees.
I really want to finish off the weathering on the 10 yellow TBOX cars I have been working on. The roofs, some end panel splatter and the last clear coat. Very doable today if I can find the motivation. I busted a ladder on a client’s spline car, last Thursday and couldn’t find it when it bounced off the bench to the floor. I did accidentally find it last night while going to my soda refrigerator in the train room. It’s amazing what bare feet can find. About 6’ away from the bench. I will check how well it cured this morning. A bit of touch up and off the last spline car will go. Then the big intermodal project. 105 well cars and 35 spline cars that I have already clear coated all the equipment. These cars will make up about 3 trains for the client. All the wheels and side frames are weathered and re-assembled. The under frames of the cars are weathered. The rest of the car weathering will go rather quick as he has been over a few times in the last 2 week as we explored how dirty to make these cars. I have 5 combination of color mixtures made up to give the cars some variety but the worst car will only be a medium weathering job. The containers are here but they will not even be looked at until late May. We leave for 6 days on 4/30. The original deal was for about 40 intermodal pieces and to be done by 4/28. It obviously expanded.
I have been telling Terry the last couple weeks that the Fox Network/ Dominion court case will never get to trial. She said that the trial was placed on hold last night with a press conference at 9AM today. No way were they going to have all those big names testify. If the truth were told by those big names, Fox News would be done.
I am going downstairs to walk on the machine that goes nowhere. Enjoy the day
