Good Morning Crew
Been up a bit earlier this morning but the fixing's are done: Huge stacks of buttermilk and blueberry flapjacks, a table full of andouille sausage and fresh and hot maple syrup from Vermont.
Old Man weather is looking like rain later today with some T storms in the mix, a perfect day to keep plugging away at Captain Franks. Over the week, I was able to apply all the singles to one side of the roof before I ran out of Paper Creek shingles - rats! My 'never ending' supply of stripwood was running near exhausting and that meant waiting until Saturday after work to make the nearly 100 mile round trip to LHS for supplies. Pickings were slim but I was able to round up a decent supply of O scale 1x6's for the decking and 2x6's for joists. Film at eleven (photos later today for the younger crowd).
Worn out from two great days of Yankee baseball, with wins over the Red Soxs - nothing could be finer. Right now, the Bombers are 1 behind the Red Sox for the Wild Card and a big game today. There is nothing like the rivalry between the Yankees and the Red Sox - the best in sports.
Everyone, Enjoy the Day

I finished up my mrring projects and boxed it all up, took down the bench, and won't be doing anything else for about another month as we get ready to move. I have a project on the burner....an Sn3 caboose, but don't know if I should wait for the one I want to be released or scratchbuild it. BTS is supposed to be coming out with an Sn3 East Broad Top caboose with a basic interior and that's the style that I want. I want to get away from the 'D&RGW' narrow gauge look as much as I can and this caboose is a center cupola job. If BTS does release it soon, I'll detail the interior completely myself. Have a great day, Friends...stay cool and dry!
