    Friday morning lounge

    Good morning all, from mild and overcast (deja vu) N.E. Indiana. The mobile coffee apparatus is READY with Railbender blend this morning. No brunchboxes this morning! We're serving breakfast out in the parking lot. The card tables are spaced at 6'2", so we're good there. On the menu are Hoosier haystacks. That robotic looking coffee urn will autofill your coffee cup.

    I brought in couple of high dollar engineers from Kentucky to design the mobile coffee urn. It looks a little Fred Flintstone but.....made in America and it works.

    Weather forecast has me in limbo on the roof project so, it's an indoor day again, after the drive-in breakfast is cleaned up,

    Have a Super day!

    Good morning Jim and the rest of the crew. It is 39 degrees under cloudy skies here in S.E. Michigan. We should stay in the 40's today.

    Yesterday I cleaned the flash off of about 2 dozen Preiser figures, re-shaped many of the hats, and cut off some of the items that they held in their hands. Today I will start painting them. I will also paint the castings that came with the Campbell Oil Derrick Kit.

    Have a great day!

      Happy deja vu to you too Jim. Lousy weather, getting crabby at home, tired or burnt out on the layout and I actually turned on my TV last night. Not sure what today will bring but I may even crack open a book. Enjoy your day.

          I read yesterday that Alan Seebach, "The Old and Weary Car Shop" has passed away from Covid-19. Sorry to hear that! I bought a bunch of stuff from him and enjoyed talking to him at Springfield.

            Good morning, crew. Jim, I heard that your Kentucky engineers had a backyard business of making hand sanitizer.

            Tidewater Virginia is going to be in the 70's, so I guess a walk is the next thing on the agenda.

            Happy Birthday, Tom.

            Have a good day.

              Mornin' All!

              It's... well... grey, mild and overcast here in the northern mitten today. I think Longfellow had it right when he referred to the "night encampment on the hill, lonely and spectral and somber and still." YMMV....

              George, you almost had it right. Jim's engineers are not from Kentucky; they're from Carolina, and that's as close as we're gonna get to a location. More here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE5pM1HXxlI

              Happy Earth Day to all, Happy Arbor Day to those of you "planting trees," and Happy Belated Birthday to Tom!

              Make it a great day, All, and stay safe.

                Drive up & back from my house in PA yesterday to make sure it was still there and everything was ok. Dehumidifier in the basement was a winter casualty, :erm: Stopped and visited with a relative at distance......

                Sort of a surreal drive - maybe 5-10% of the usual traffic. Got home before the rains arrived - hurray! Another miserable grey rainy day.....

                Work in the home office; journal, T-con with that boss, magazine; send out biosketch and consulting agreement; NMRA stuff; do some puttering about in the shop....but no painting again.
                In a time like ours seemings and portents signify. Ours is a generation when dogs howl and the skin crawls on the skull with its beast's foreboding.

                    Cold, grey and ugly here in MI, but enough about the governor.....weather sucks, too. Lockdown is being extended until May 15, but some concessions are being made to allow some things to start.

                    We had a most all day rain here yesterday with a temp in 40s and a feel like in the 30s. I worked on some of my scenery yesterday. So much needs to be done.

                    Thanks for breakfast Jim. No tree planting in Michigan, yet, Pete. Gretchid is on TV now, as I write, maybe she’ll relax that. Giving lesson on how to properly open a plastic bag while in the grocery store.

                    Everyone have a good day. Safe and healthy.
