Maybe, but on the layout the tanks are supposed to have just been built at Royal Ordnance Factory, Barnbow, Leeds.
Therefore a little 'modellers licence'.

Not for nothing, I have been disappointed with politicians for a long time now...even though I don't expect much, they always disappoint.

Afternoon All,
Started out the day with some daily chores. Very hazy today from the Canadian wildfires. I didn't even know they were still burning. Went to Lowes earlier got a gallon of paint for the bird room. We're painting it tomorrow after my mid-morning doctor phone appointment. The cost of paint is beyond ridiculous. For a gallon of middle grade paint was $58. That was an eye opener.
Thank you all for the photo likes.
Troy- That crockpot meal looks yummy. A skunk is not a good pet unless you spend lots of time socializing them (as a kit). An older one is hit or miss just like dogs or cats with baggage.
Louis- My thoughts also.
Karl- I like Hecklefish.
TomO- Good news about your son, not so good about your daughter. I find being on the water at night very calming...until it's not!
Joe- Very nice backdrop.
Louis- I'm very sorry about Sophie and the loss of your beloved family member.
Smudge- I was thinking the tank could hold some liquid like diesel for the crane. Excellent videos.
David- Happy Anniversary. Great gift from the grandson.
Sherrel- I would think fostering would be hard emotionally. It's easy to become attached to the animals, then you give them up.
Willie- Sorry to hear about the dropped oil tank, but good to hear it just needed minor repair.
I hope everyone has a good night.

Yes I do every minute with them both. Funny thing ever since they both were born I would leave every morning to drive the tractor trailer in the wee hours long before they got up for school. Now they leave for work about a hour before (6:30) I have to leave to go to work at my job it’s weird to me but I’m adjusting to it. Thanks for the advice.

Curt now I’m having second thoughts about painting the inside walls this winter. I just wanted to spruce them up they could go longer but I think I might wait. Who knows it may be $75 then lol.

Well, howdy there internet peeps, and those suddenly looking for a new job in DC,
It's Troy again.
Today was probably the last really good patio sitting in shorts and a polo day. So I did.
Despite the Deet levels in the Deep Woods bug repellent, the skeeters knew it was one of the last, too. They were trying to get their last supper going. I swear there were 13 buzzing around me, and then all sitting on the same side of a really long table...
Came inside, washed off the bug spray, and poured a glass of rye. I seldom go for this bottle, since it's one of my pricier ones per oz. But it seemed appropriate for today ...

Louis, sorry to read about Sophie.
Being on a boat at night is tough for me. Sleeping on the boat dockside is ok.
Being in the backseat of MY car while Ms. Speed Demon drives all the while talking to her best friend in the front passenger seat is downright scary. Being on Chicago EXpressways just made it even worst!
I read online coming into Michigan about the House voting. What a joke but unfortunately it’s on US.
I read where Curt’s kid has different views than those he was staying with. We have that here. While I try to be a fiscal conservative Terry is a bleeding heart liberal. The 2 folks we are staying with have pulled a 180 from last year when we last saw them. Dinner was not fun! They really feel because Terry has some money she should not have liberal leanings! Why do people continue to talk about stuff that other people at the table are asking them not to. At work you never talked about sex, money or politics! Same with friends
Trains, I finished up another Scaletrains bulkhead flat and another (#11this year) Atlas Center Partition car. Very nice cars but also very very light.
There is no TV in this house which normally for me is great. But, I wouldn’t mind the distraction of baseball tonight. The internet is not strong enough for me to stream the game so I will do some reading tonight. The plan is another night here but hopefully I can convince Terry to leave in the afternoon. It’s 9:20 in Michigan and the couple we are visiting go to bed at 9. The quiet is nice. Terry has been talking to our daughter.
have a great night

Are the Fall colors alive in Michigan yet, or is it a little too early yet?

Good evening. Beautiful day, today. 59° now, was 80° Perfect for early fall.
We were able to resume walking, 1.25 miles, today, but our timing was slow. Not enough cardio. have to improve my timing. No walking for eight days of rain doesn't help. Weather looks good through Friday.
Few chores and errands today. Lots of people out = monthly payday for many.
Minimal work on the railroad today. I have a tank car spot I'm working on.
Mike: I don't recall off hand where I bought the back drop. Tomorrow, I'll pull the invoice and let you know. It's a 4' wide back drop, and the photo is of the Conoco (formerly Standard Oil NJ - Esso - Exxon), refinery in Linden NJ, from across Hwy 1-9. Seems to work well for what I wanted.

Tom: It's a issue that happens all the time. I'm becoming more socially conservative, financially liberal. which is a change from what i used to be. The wife, is socially liberal, fiscally conservative...we do discuss issues, but neither of us tries to force our views on the other. My sons, I'm not sure where they are, and I like it that way. I am very uncomfortable discussing politics, religion, or finance with others. I really don't need to know what others think. We live in a pluralistic society, with many different people having many different beliefs and ideas. We all need to respect others and their beliefs...
Not for nothing, I have been disappointed with politicians for a long time now...even though I don't expect much, they always disappoint.
