What are they planning, the procedure where they shove the scope into the lung, reflate the collapse, and try and determine what the shadow is? In any event, Best of Luck, David, I'll include you in my prayers.

Good morning! It's 30°F and fair In Tipton. Have a great Friday!
If the wedding was in Santa Barbara shorts would have been ok. We go back to SB every other year just so I can relive my youth. Every time we get there my wife says, "there still aren't any ugly women here."
There's a reason they call it the American Riviera.

Raining and 50°. So far 0.64" recorded. Should have put down the fertilizer on the lawn today, but didn't... 
.
Spent a good part of the day working on the layout. It's a matter of motivation, as it takes about 2 hours for the meds to kick in in the morning.
Two Walthers Centennial Flour background building kits, three walls 30" - Paint first mild day, then complete. Probably should raise the backdrop, to hide the blocks...before everything is set in stone.
Capitals beat Flyers tonight, now have 100 points for season with 30 days left in the regular season. (Maybe 12 games?). Ovie had another goal, #888, needs six more to tie, 7 to break record...

wadi dadi coffee peeps.
first i have to say i would love to have at least one of those Rivet Counter™ HO Scale Trinity 82' 7883 Mechanical Reefer. Maybe i will order one or two some day. they look so nice.
in other news, yesterday i weathered the track and ballast on my small H0 diorama. it looks not that bad i think.
so after that, i HAD TO setup a shot with an engine. i mean thats the whole idea behind this diorama, showcasing my engines. so i opened the box of my newest addition from ScaleTrains
i think this diorama works:

I always think KFC, but my father used to manage one back in the 1970s. So any K & C get an F... yes, even that team.

Good morning to the Crew. I do see it’s still morning. I hit the pillows at the normal times last night , somewhere around midnight but slept almost straight through. A pillow turn at 4:15 and 5:20 but I didn’t need to get out of bed till 7:10. I feel good!
We went last night to a traveling Broadway production of the Neil Diamond Musical, a Beautiful Noise. If it’s in your area it’s a a good buy and a must see. I wasn’t nor am I really a Diamond fan but my gosh the songs he wrote! Except for 1 song that I didn’t recognize the rest I was familar with the tune and knew most of the words. The cast, especially his second wife was phenomenal. He’s 84 this past January and has Parkinson’s. The story is a reflection of his life via office visits to his shrink as he is learning to cope that he can’t preform anymore. It was well done. Wikipedia has a good write up on it
After posting my weathering workbench photo in the Continuous thread yesterday I spent a couple hours yesterday having to clean up that whole area. It was bad. Even Terry later was impressed.
Today is do or die day for the #1 Women’s Hockey team. All year since pre-season they have been #1 and the Badgers play for the. 6th time this season border rival #4 ranked Minnesota in the Gophers sold out home rink, Ritter Arena in Minneapolis. Normally we would be there but Terry has her second cataract surgery Monday. The pressure in her eyes is high but never her blood pressure. The 5 hour drive home Sunday would be too close to surgery time and with 2 past cancellations at surgery time we are not chancing it. We will be watching on ESPN+. The final,is Sunday.
I have plans to be at the weathering stations today. I’m unaware of any Honey do lists, the board is blank and we sure don’t need any groceries.
We are going to a wedding on May 24th in Pasadena, California. Does anyone here understand what California casual for the dress code means?
Enjoy the day

Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning All. Clear, calm and 40°. The wind will return today, this time coming from the south, but only at 20 mph. That's not enough for an advisory like many of the days in the past two weeks. Highs in the upper-70's and low-80's for the next ten days, with a chance of rain beginning Thursday. That's bound to happen after a week of moist air being blown up from the Gulf.
This is a picture of the pool cover billowing in the wind Wednesday...surprised that it didn't come off.
Only thing holding it somewhat down, was the rainwater on top which was forced to one side.
Nothing special about yesterday's grocery trek, store wasn't as crowded as usual. Egg prices are now $3.99/doz but gasoline has risen to $2.89/gal again. Afterwards I did some mowing in the back part of the yard and around the pool. I also started mulching another pathway in the garden, this one is between the Green Peas and the eventual location of the Tomato plants.
Only spent a short time out in the train shed yesterday, and just did some painting. But that's where I left the camera, so no pictures this morning. I spent most of that time painting two lawn chairs from MiniPrints. They're the web variety and painting the aluminum framework between the webs was challenging. They came out satisfactory in the end. Pics tomorrow!
David - Although you're probably already at the hospital and can't read this, I hope that everything goes well with your procedure today.
Tom O - That English Muffin and fried Bologna for yesterday's breakfast looked real tasty. That's real great regarding the admission and response to the ScaleTrains poorly operating trucks. Too bad that all businesses (and governing bodies) don't respond in the same manner.
Len - That's good news from your doctor.
Mike - The couplers on ScaleTrains have been a disappointment for me since I received the first engines from them a few years ago.
Karl - Amusing story about someone being stupid. My tale of stupid people and cars is a little different. Many, many years ago, two coworkers went out to a bar for a few too many beers. The place closed and worker #1 was really inebriated, so worker #2 was going to follow him home. They decided to stay off the main roads. After a few minutes, #1 pulled over while on a side street in a neighborhood and parked because he couldn't stay awake either now. So #2 took him home. The next day, they went to look for the car but neither remembered where it was parked. They drove around for 3-4 hours and never found that car. They reported it missing to the police but they never were made aware of an abandoned car. They never found it and #1 had to buy another one.
Everyone have a fantastic Friday.

Well, howdy there internet peeps and those with weather today.
it's Troy again.
Gettysburg trip is now mostly planned.
Got the reservations in for the Swope Manor B&B on Chambersburg pike. (I know it's now "street" not "pike", but that's what it was back in July of '63!)
www.swopemanor.com
Looks like a decent place, in downtown GB so lots of eateries in the area. A couple of theaters. Might see a play or concert while we're there.
Looks like we'll be travelling the week before Memorial Day. Drive out on Sunday. Head back home on Thursday. One day for the Caledonia State Park and two for the Battlefield.
I tried to direct the wife to another day looking at trains, and she responded with another day in the state park. Which for me is a light hike on the old fart trail (flat and level), then a long time sitting waiting on her to get back from hiking up mountains or whatever is there.

No ties or jacket, but a shirt with a collar.

Good mornin' crew! Its Friday! Under mostly cloudy but clearing skies, its 31 in Cheyenne with a wind chill of 22. Winds are NW @ 13 gusting to 21 with an occasional gust to 45. Looking for a high of 47 and a low tonight of 21. No precip in the immediate forecast. High wind watch is in effect until 9pm Saturday so hold on to your bonnets...
Yesterday; got my laundry done and helped NJ(ret) with some household chores. Out to the garage and sent some more flattened moving boxes to recycle. Managed a couple hours at the workbench painting and weathering a couple of new boxcars.
Y'all have a good day and enjoy your weekend.

Good morning, all! Well, it's Chamber of Commerce weather for a couple of days and then rain is forecasted. WE went to Kroger's yesterday, no sign of Willie. Our store, like Willie's was unusually uncrowded. Petrol up to $2.59.
Started work on the first of 3 Mudd Creek structures. It's a called a building in a bag. $10. It would certainly be a good practice kit for someone to try out laser cut kits. The attached pic is the kit "Brien's Inn". Needs the lower roof finished and a few minor details to complete.
David - Prays. Hope all goes well.
