Well, I'm a bit concerned that you asked, but since you did. I do NOT wear the kilt highland style. You must remember that I am Welsh, not Scots. Those skirt-lengths might be fine for free-hanging Scotsmen . . . . .

Stupendous, a free ride and family excellent photo deserves to be framedChristian: The best scenery photo is the last.
The pole with the wires reminds me if what I have seen in India and Pakistan
Boris -- I liked the photo with thhe whiteish faded on the right side. Pennsy BP is beautiful.
SF beat up pretty good on LA last night - whoo! Go Red Sox!
TomO - 2 emails? unreal! I could go with your 'Flat TAX' No deductions, period - first $50,000 free!
Willie -- Glad to hear that Arlene is doing good - considering?
Me and #3 a few years back! I was re-doing the two box car roof's on the left1

Good Evening:
TomO: I no longer consider myself a conservative, but at the same time, I cannot accept the dogma of progressive Liberalism either. It's one thing, when one is still working and able to change direction, but once retired and tied to a program not of my own making, I have to adjust to protect my interests. In any event, I don't have a problem with anyone commentating on current events. Energy Prices, and other cost increases affect all people regardless of their affiliation. So does healthcare, and any number of issues. Essentially, one has to follow the money, to see where someone is coming from.
Thanks for all the favorable comments on my attempts at weathering, and the photos I share. I'm trying to complete the railroad for once in my life, before I put the house on the market. (Steps are becoming a problem for both of us).
I "fixed" the CP plug door box that had the heavy white on the right side. I'll post a photo tomorrow, some time.
Meanwhile:
View of RDC trains between runs at B&O's Grant St. Station in Pittsburgh, PA in 1968. I considered modeling this station, but instead selected a variant of the CNJ Broad Street Station. The Prudential Center, where the Devils play, stands on where the station was located.
1-1-1962 photo of PRR RS1 in Toledo, OH. (Rodney Peterson photo), RS-1s rarely left the Eastern half of the PRR.

It is the official flag of Brittany (Bretagne). It comes from ages when Brittany was free and independent. Very very long time ago...

Greetings all!
Friday golf was not too bad. The weather was strangely warm. We should be in two or three layers by this point of fall golf - was in my kilt and a golf shirt! Speaking of which, I got a lot more comments than usual re said kilt, Friday. Funny how it goes sometimes.
Got the shopping done and all and, except for a major crisis about the fish, all went well for Friday's wife birthday dinner. I made Sole Meuniere for five after finding some really nice Dover Sole at a local fishmonger. Actually 6 portions because the one SIL-striker has an appetite . Oh to eat like that again! Dinner was nice - very nice. But the wine did flow, so was a bit groggy yesterday - so no train work. Did take the dogs for a long walk.
Just a quickie, more later. - - - Steve J

Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning All. Clear and 69°, into the upper 50's tonight after an afternoon high around 90°. Supposed to reach down into the upper 40's by next weekend. I have my firewood supply totally ready, however I do need to sweep the chimney.
Well, I managed to elude a couple of household tasks yesterday, my daughter volunteered to come up today and mop the kitchen and clean the bathrooms, or rather my wife talked her into it. I had nothing to do with it. I am not trusted with either task for some reason. Grandsons will probably come with her while my SIL plays golf.
No real change in my wife's condition except she's only taking a half of a Hydrocodone pill at a time now. There won't be any change until after the infection clears up and the newer replacement knee is installed. Staci, the home health care nurse will be back tomorrow after her visit Friday. Starting next week, it will be a Monday/Thursday schedule for her visits. The antibiotic infusions are proceeding without any issues. I don't know where all of the infusion liquid is going? Between the multiple saline solutions, two antibiotic solutions and something else, we're adding about a pint and a half of fluid twice a day into her vein!
Staci only removed about 1/4 pint of blood Friday to make room.
Thanks for the likes and comments regarding the progress photos yesterday; Jaz, Christian, Tom O, Hughie, Sherrel, Garry.
I'll take the Sunday Special this morning Flo, ham and cheese biscuits with scrambled eggs. I'll switch to grape juice today for variety.
Despite having shed two chores yesterday, time in the train shed was still limited. I did continue to decorate crates and other details, making good progress with four additional colors. However no pictures yet. I ended up completely covering the paint overrun that I showed yesterday and also painted the foundation of that wall with Polly Scale Aged Concrete. Probably a moot point since it will be covered by the loading dock eventually. I did a better job on the second side wall and it's not quite as heavy of a red coat.
Since I will be doing some heavy weathering, I don't think that I will need to redo the first wall. Pretty much depends on the other two walls.
A look at the loading docks roughly in place. For the final planting of the model, they will move closer to the backdrop giving more room on the track side.
Things are going much slower on this build than my normal pace, but I am looking forward to each step just the same.
Meanwhile I took some pictures of one of my favorite Bar Mills kits, Earl's Oil.
Greg - Down here in oil country, the states of TX, OK and LA are not adverse to pipelines so that's how our oil and natural gas flows. Safer than tankers. However we get a lot of unit tank trains of Ethanol headed from the Midwest towards the refineries near Houston, West Texas and the Gulf Coast, for blending into gasoline.
I have a reel of EZ Wire that I intend to put to use at some future time.
Mikey - I need a revival tent somewhere on the layout! Thanks for the idea.
Everybody enjoy this great Sunday. Stay safe. By the way, today is Pastor Appreciation Day. Throw a bit extra into the collection basket for Steve J and his buddies!
