It is now becoming difficult to keep her still to rest. This morning, she went with me to work, she enjoyed getting out of the house. She wanted to go to the grocery store afterwards. I'm always up for the grocery store.
That's great news!

Have to make her rest though. You know when we are sick and start to feel better its easy to overdue it and get run down
and make things worse.
 
Ok so let’s
Mine was a bit different and brighter. Ok now picture is doing strange things let’s try another. Another one I was on. And two models of small boats I ran. All those pictures are correct in my pictures
I am having problems too

And this evening I went to some other sites to upload and everywhere else is ok
It is just here I think they must have a software update
Are you on an apple IPad

Interesting collection of ships being posted

Time I headed to bed. I have an early start in the morning. Goodnight all.

Model of British India S.N.Co. On the left you can just see me on the Bridge of Island Escape with the Captain. On the right is part of a picture of the former Royal Yacht Britannia.

Good evening folks, very pretty day here, 75 right now, hit 91 today with loads of sunshine. Pretty good day at work, I work with really nice folks who all have good sense of humor, so we pick on each other a lot. Got home and LadyC had made a nice dinner and now relaxing a bit. Ready for my Sunday School class tomorrow so now is just hanging out on the forums.
 
I was going to post that I had a good conversation with Chet this morning, but he beat me to it!
Todd - Glad to hear/read that you picked up the remaining structures. I already got as many as I had room for. You will be pleased. I still have one that I need to reconstruct that didn't make the 1000+ mile trip too well. I have featured many of them in past Coffee Shops. I think that I have 18-20 all together. Many occupy prominent places on the layout. Here are a few.

All figures and some detailing added by me. However I did also get a container with over 100 figures from him that I have used liberally on the whole layout.
 


Well, howdy there internet peeps and those who ate supper/dinner.

Wife said she wanted some Catholic chicken, so we headed to Pope-yes! I took along our own bottle of real honey. The packets they have are "honey flavored" syrup that is mostly corn syrup. So we bring the good stuff to make the biscuits yummy.

(Note to those across the pond, these are 'American Biscuits' not crunchy cookies.)

After that, she suggested ice cream. Who was I to argue with her. Stopped at Handels. We're slowly working through the flavors. Her's was Chunky Monkey, mine was Choc Chip Cookie Dough.

And an update on the Social Media Manager at the NMRA situation. Scroll back a few pages to my earlier post on the topic if you missed it. Lucy has updated her bio on the page to debrand that part from the organization. Good. That's the correct thing to do. The lesser issue that still needs to be fixed is the URL of that profile's page. It is still branded as facebook(dot)come/lucynmra. It's not easy to find the correct place to change it, but she can google it.

Judging by some of the comments she's posting that she's getting behind the scenes, she decided to open a hornets nest when she went full religious/political on her Trains-facing professional page. She may want to drop the blue checkmark unless she's planning on moving into managing social media for one of the organizations she's organizing for.

She's done enough to disconnect herself (hopefully she'll figure out how to change the URL) that I'm going to keep my NMRA membership going for another cycle.

This will end my discussion on her page unless she rebrands it back to the NMRA brand.
 
Good evening gang.

The last lead is spinning in the dryer, gonna hit the sack as soon as it stops and I can unload it and throw the last load from the washer inside.

Didn't do much today but hung out with #1 son on his 36th birthday. He lives with his momma but I took him a birthday card and got him out of her house for a day. He's on better meds now and his outlook on life has greatly improved. He's lost a great deal of weight , he's now about 300lbs, he was over 400 lbs at one point. He has a friend (female) friend in Wisconsin who he is going to visit over the holidays. I'm genuinely happy for him that he has finally getting his act together. Lord knows I tried to get him to live with me, but my house has rules and would include responsibilities. Things that his mother would not enforce on her "baby". He has finally seen the light. Life rewards those who put forth the effort. I was able to turn his 2 brothers at an early age, but he's always clung to momma hard.

I did finally break out my new grab iron template today. Step one, open all the holes with a #76 drill bit, then locate all the pattern on the model and drill (and break 3 bits). More on that later.

Dryer quit, Cay all tomorrow!

Respiratory infections are the worst, and pneumonia is among the worst of respiratory infections. And she has double pneumonia!
Have to make her rest though.
I keep reminding her, but she can be relentless!

The good news is she feels better again this morning.

Thank you, Mike, and Everyone for your positive thoughts, prayers and for your concern.

God is always with us "Do not be afraid - I am with you!"
 
Have to figure our how to post.
It is easy, you won't have any problem.

From my experience expect to pay close to 25% in fees. They have a new feature "promote your listing" Avoid it if you can. If you see you are not getting any traffic then use the promotions, but it has a separate fee. Even with the extra fee you should pay close to 30% on fees.

It is great to see you, old friend! How are the Doggies?
