Afternoon All,

Started out early today at 66F and heavy fog. I had an 8 am eye appointment. No problem with the floaters, cataracts are still small, and I will receive my new glasses in 2-3 weeks in the mail. On the way home I stopped at Walley World for Milk. After chores I headed to the train room. Today I finished with the awning roofing, after that I weathered all 4 of them. Finally, I attached "glass" to the windows that will go on the hydrocal walls. Next step is masking the hydrocal walls prior to brick painting. Tomorrow, I'm visiting with my buddies in Orlando.

Karl- Neat layout scenes.

Guy- Great looking base. That's a new material for me.

Bill- Interesting photo.

Sherrel- Kate is a keeper.

Possum- Great catch.

I hope everyone has a good night.

Jaz that is an amazing work of art. At first, I thought it was a photo. You are an incredibly talented person.

I still want to bitch slap that clown! That is a testament to your talent.

Well howdy there, internet Peeps and Postal Package makers

It's Troy again

Today is one of those, "yep, I knew better" days

But first the weather... This is just hitting us, and moving slowly. The Fort is hiding in the radar W by SW of Toledo. You'll eventually find the Blue Map Pin for us.

Weather is moving, as usual, to the NE

Welp... I knew I should have been backing up more often...

I've got an old epic fantasy series set in Historical Dark Ages Wales/Britain. Post Arthur, and the Mabonogian Arthur, not the French Romance Arthur.

I need to get the paperbacks republished on Amazon. I had them Archived there (removed but saved). The problem is I need to do a bunch of formatting, spell-checking, etc, as well as new covers. Since I'm heading off to a game convention (RPGs and TableTop Minis) at the end of March, I need to get a few paperbacks ordered to sell there.

And when my computer blew up and turned into a doorstop, I wiped the hard drive in an attempt to reinstall the OS.

And my backups weren't up to date. I'm having to pull in Word docs and format those in the writing program I use (Scrivener, it's specific to authors, and professional writers). Then export that file into the ebook and paperback format software.

And I have seven books in that series.

Going to be a long several days while I get these caught up.

Hey Everybody! It’s a beautiful Friday afternoon here in Western MA. 55 degrees or so with sunny skies.

Took a couple pictures of the tracks at work. We service about 10 cars every other day at the scrap yard using an upper and lower track. The cars are positioned at various spots according to the type of metal being loaded. This could be modeled as a prototypical inglenook I would think?

Here you’ll see some gondolas waiting to be shoved further down the tracks with our loader.

This section of track in the picture below was recently repaired following a derailment we had of 7 loaded cars carrying various product.

That’s all I’ve got for now! Have a great weekend everybody:)
 
Good afternoon. It's partly sunny, and 84.
The plot twists further. Apparently the dog is now being quarantined because she bit somebody. Much as I like a challenge, I think it's time to pull the plug on this attempt. The shelter where she is does not euthanize.

Terry, I think this little girl will need more time than you have available to devote to her. She needs someone who can be with her all day. At least until she gets comfortable in her forever home. Only God knows how long that could take.

I admire you for trying and don't give up. You need a pet that matches your life. As much as we like to, we can't always match the special needs of some pets. As it is with much of life, circumstances dictate what we can and can't do.
