Not lately. Hope everything is OK.
Wilie, it's hard to find a good dermatologist, and when you do, most will tell you it's dematitis. I usually think, "well yes, I know that, what is causing it and how do I get rid of it?" At that point I usually get a blank stare while the wheels behind their eyes are turning.
you got it bad!
Obviously, a splash of color for clothes is all most people see. No one can tell if the lady is wearing ear rings or not.
They are a decent team 6-0 record in 2 weekends of play so far.

Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning All. Clear and sunny! It's 41°, getting into the low-70's again today. Yesterday was a perfect wind-free, sunny day. Tomorrow and the next few days, we'll be closing in on the lower-80's. No snow expected. The rain yesterday turned out to be just a mist for maybe 30 minutes.
Today is Dia De Los Muertos, or as known in English as Day of the Dead, All Soul's Day in the church liturgy; to commemorate the memory of the departed. It's a very big event in the Spanish communities around here. They traditionally set up tables/chairs on top of the graves of their beloved family members and have a party in their memory. Alcohol is in abundance and even the normally sedate womenfolk imbibe freely. It's quite a sight if one happens to go to a cemetery around here. And yes; there are also some fisticuffs among the young men if you look at someone's girlfriend wrong!
I'll be home however, toiling in the great outdoors. Need to haul some firewood to stack in the pile, and maybe cut some more. Depends on how I feel. Might catch a minute or two of some random football game if I set foot in the living room with my wife who is an absolute fanatic. She's in several fantasy leagues and switches from game to game to check on her players; although she made a comment yesterday that many of her players had a bye week this week. It just hasn't re-kindled my interest since I quit watching around the turn of the century.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I finished touching up the GP9U engine, and I took the shell off and dull-coated it.
This made the yellow blend in just a bit better. Even on the prototype locos, there was always a bit of a difference between the color of the handrails and the rest of the engine.
On the Hydrocal structure, it appears that the Walther's Goo is working to close the 1/64" gap after clamping overnight. I gave the assembled structure another coat of white primer and then masked it off for a spray of brick color on the LH part of the building.
The red splatters seen on the inside of the rear wall through that window, is where I tested the color on Friday to see if I liked it. It won't be visible after I put curtains in the windows. I also added the roof supports on the inside of the walls; they can be seen through the windows also. I did spray the paint, but I haven't unmasked it yet. The wall on the RH side will be brush painted.
Mikey - There's no way that I could paint those Z scale figures, even using the Optivisor.
Karl - Nice family photo. Quite a height difference between your son and DIL. Reminds me of my paternal grandparents, Grandpa was 6'4" and Grandma was 4'11". Her genes are the reason that I am height-challenged. My son got Gramps genes, he is also 6'4", a foot taller than me. And yes, the shoes are rockin' as Marlin posted.
Michael - I'm not sure what this rash is, it doesn't itch so it probably isn't eczema, it doesn't hurt so it probably isn't shingles; doc confirmed this. He really didn't have an answer as his primary specialty is internal medicine.
Swal - Those 15" high blocks are too low to make a comfortable resting place, at least for me.
Troy - That Prime Rib looks perfect to me!
Everyone have a safe and great Sunday.

I was wondering that myself. The last time that he posted, he was preparing for a vacation at the Boundary Waters, far removed from all civilization. It's been over a month now.

I like that,
you got it bad!I know someone that had something very similar, long term. They went to my dermatologist and it turned out to be fungal related. It took about a month to clear up.

Yes it popped up in one of my news feeds and I was wondering why we weren’t getting bombarded by the media on the tv. I told Terry to remind if I missed it. She looked at me like I was nuts. Feed was from some London media compant
And hot...I like that,

I worked on that locomotive until lunch time, but my idea is not going to work for me. I managed to solder very fine wire (DCC wire) to the backs of the sockets, but there is too much in the way on the circuit board for me to be able to work with my eyesight. In addition, the wire on the lugs for those sockets is too stiff to get it to bend the way I need it. I would have to cut the wire (coax actually) close to the plug and solder finer wire to the center conductor.
All in all, not something I really want to do, or can do. I will have to live with disassembling this locomotive more often than I care to, but at least it does run good when the contacts are clean.
I did connect two of these pieces together while I thought about continuing on, but when I tried separating the two, I damaged the socket beyond salvage.
It was still a better idea than Jägerndorfer's.

Willie- I use a pair of narrow tweezers and a #10 brush to give the figure a lick and a promise.

Enough to make an entire hockey team!
Sounds like they already have one.Their parents need a hobby!

Oh no, 2 r plenty enough. I thought I had him in a single frame but the hockey rink glass on the boards distorted the image. I obviously cannot admit it is was my issue so in the current rage of the millennials the glass caused it.
They are a decent team 6-0 record in 2 weekends of play so far.

Good afternoon. It's mostly sunny, 80, and some rain expected in a couple of hours.
Looks like my trouble with T Mobile isn't over. They auto-paid my last bill of $50 out of my credit card, I have a $43 negative balance, and they are telling me they have no way to return the overpayment to me. Oh, and they just sent me an email telling me my current payment for the next month didn't go through, and to contact them to make payment arrangements.
