Running Bear's February 2024 Coffee Shop

[McLeod]

Hi, folks!

Crappy weather! Not because it's cool, rather, it's so dull with no sun to brighten the day.

Spent an hour looking through my prototype rail photos. Picked out a few of my favourite to annoy you with repeats.
There's no particular reason I like these more than all the rest. I suppose it's just that I feel I've captured some special moments in the rail history of this small town.

All of those photos were captured with a $40.00 camera. I'm fairly certain that's why the poor quality. I'm still capturing some railway history, though.

Curt - Wonderful flatcar loads. Celebrating 20yrs of what?
Migalyto - What's 'Bug' money?
Todd - Beautiful puppy!
Louis - So sorry to hear Tucker got mauled!

The wife only works weekends, which leaves me home alone with the house clean-up chores. I don't mind, because she likes a clean house. Just don't call me the "@itch".
Got it all done now, so it's nap and then finally get in some modelling time. It's been a loong time since I've done that.

Have a great day, folks.

Crappy camera or not. I love the pics.

Migalyto - What's 'Bug' money?

Darn spell check! Should be big money.

I fixed it...Thanks for the catch.

One of my dobermans jumped my mother in laws fence tried digging under to help theother dog, gave up when hit gravel and wandered off luckily she had a name tag and was reported to the police when I checked, 3 roads away she was shivering under a header and too scared to come out to the woman who not having a dog had put out milk and bread to try and encourage her to come out, she saw me dashed out at speed, the woman was by her sink watching the dog was okay and was happy her mum had tracked her down and happy her call to the police had had results she had also called a dog place but not one I had tried, one exhausted dobermann did not rejump the fence either. Luckily she did not eat the milk and bread not good for hedgehogs either they too prefer tinned dog meat.

Yup.
Jaz is back.

Yup.

I'm trying to figure out the hedghog jumping the doberman to escape the police for pilfering bread ... or??? Dang... I gotta go put those [returns] in so I can figure this one out. Sounds like a fun story.

Louis- The Paranoid BS album was the first LP I purchased as a teenager. I won't tell you what my Dad said the first time I played it.

You sir are a man of impeccable taste. I can imagine what your Dad might have said.

I'm glad to hear you are feeling better.

Louis - So sorry to hear Tucker got mauled!

It may have saved his life and mine. He has learned to stay home. When he did run, he had no regard for traffic. And I'm too old to chase him!

I'm only going to call you a good man!

 

[Smudge617]

I haven't seen one in person, but I bet it would go for big money on eBay!

Did a quick search and didn't see any for sale.

Is this a kit you own?

Nope, on eBay, unopened, still in cellophane wrapping, currently £84.50, with 6 days to go.

I blame texting on phone, those small buttons are a pain……

have you never heard of idiots feeding poor hedgehogs bread and milk? Which results in diarrhoea. advice is IF you see a hedgehog, and decide to feed it, use dog food or preferably cat food, and meat tinned not stupid biscuits. I thought everyone knew this. Hence my alluding to rather than full story.

I hade to correct 5 times on this entry, and I still see more. Nope fed up wearing out the delete button

I imagine its going to go a lot higher. Those auctions are entertaining to watch, especially at the end!

Yes, it's always fun to watch when you're not invested in it, I lost out this morning on one, unfortunately, I was still asleep when it ended.

I was still asleep when it ended.

And because of it, your well rested and your wallet is still fat!

Good afternoon, all! Another warmish day but cloudy and overcast. After a few chores went to the train room to continue on the J. Baum Tobacco building. Yesterday I glued all the bracing on. Instructions say you don't need the bracing on the N scale version, but I believe in putting bracing on.
Today I glued sides, windows and decals. Next will be putting the upper and lower sections together, side steps and roof. What I didn't know prior to purchasing was the building is intended to be a building not up front. There are no details, windows or doors on the back.

STAY SAFE
LATER

Yankovic is a mad genius! Any artist would be a fool to turn him down.

have you never heard of idiots feeding poor hedgehogs bread and milk?

Not me. Mostly cause there are no wild hhogs in Can or USA. ( According to grandpa google. ) So dont ever really think about them or how they live etc.

Just hit the return every time you should have a full stop. Hit it twice and put the blank line in. And I won't confuse hedgehogs and dobermans.

The new familiar in my latest series wants to eat donuts... He's magical, so it probably won't bother him...

Willie I was watching the best opening keyboard intros of all time. The top 6 were all great but what was number 1?
