Happy Easter

     We have 52° and partly cloudy. The grass is growing. Gas is $3.10.

     I painted 3 O gauge Lionel box cars that I am doing custom decals for a friend. Now I will design the decals for them, I also put the white paint on some ho C628 locomotives that I am doing in LV white elephant livery. 

     My wife shows improvement every day. 

Cheers

Hello Blue

Greetings, gang.

43 cloudy degrees outside my window this morning. Supposed to clear off and get to the mid 60s. Got about six tenths of an inch of rain yesterday. Additional rain chances starting tomorrow through Friday.

Watched an interesting race yesterday in which pouty boy tried to take a short cut and got penalized for it. The rest of the day was spent on the porch watching the rain and reading. This morning is a trip to the gym and after lunch I'm planning to get the moped out of storage.

All stay safe.

Good afternoon everyone. 

     We had a sunny but cool day here.  I did inside work. 

     Yesterday I made stuffing and roasted a turkey breast so we could have a good hot meal for a change. I will say it was delicious. 

     My wife is improving a little everyday. She is able to stand by herself and walk farther. It is still a waddle but she has come a long, long way. She even made supper the other night and she has beat me to washing the dishes a time or two. 

     I am doing swell with the exception of total loss of stamina, and a real painful back ache.

     I did a repaint on an old yellow box Athearn that was supposed to be an RS3 but was actually a RSD4. It was brand new old stock. I have installed a decoder which was a very easy job with the exception of headlights which I am doing now. I had to cut the fiber optic bars and I glued a LED square light to the headlights.  \

     I bought two tubes of Loctite glue for plastics that are hard to glue. When I opened the packages to put it away one of the packages was empty. 
There was a phone number on the package so I called the company to let them know and they immediately offered a refund. I had to send a copy of the invoice and a picture of the container and they have issued me a refund for the purchase price. Last week it was bad hearing aid batteries and the seller there refunded my money. It seems that Rayovac produced a bad batch. I had at least 40 out of 60 that would not work.  

     Gas is $3.10. and barn cat food in 32.00

Charlie:

Glad you are both improving!! Keep it up.
I know pain stinks, any kind of pain.

Only news I have is I found another 3D printer at a local Goodwill.
I found a place for it, I'll hook it to the computer in the next few days and see if it was worth the $25 I spent

Greetings, gang.

Cloudy and 53. The rain has moved on after leaving just short of a half inch. Supposed to get to the low 70s again today.

The moped is out creating traffic hazards all over the city (or maybe it's just me on the moped that's causing the hazards). Had a short visit to the gym yesterday then hit the grocery store for a few items. Went to see the move "The Amateur" yesterday. It was ok but glad I went on $5.50 Tuesday rather paying full price. A small coke and a medium popcorn finished off the rest of a $20 bill.

Gas was $2.85 and eggs were $4.79 yesterday.

All stay safe.

Hi,
I want to upgrade the RAM in my Victus laptop, but the Windows diagnostic tool is not working. How can I check how much RAM can be upgraded?

WEDNESDAY 4/23/25
Hello Blue
Sun and 70s for the day.
Oldest son helped cut the grass yesterday and some early summer prep on the patio. Shopping this morning, I hurt all over. My body is just laughing at the Tylenol I took.
A bunch of locals are at York Pa. for the big train sale. I don't go anymore, just to tiring for me these days.

Greetings, gang.

Another cloudy morning underway after a night of rain and hail. Got about 3/4 inch of rain and pea to marble sized hail. Only damage I can find so far is to the fire pit cover. It was several years old and in fairly bad shape anyway from the elements. I'll be ordering a new one later today. More rain in the forecast for the next several days with highs in the mid to upper 60s and lows in the upper 40s to low 50s.

Got the motel reservation made for next month when I go to my great-granddaughter's high school graduation. Really looking forward to that. This morning i need to make a trip to Menards for some stuff and then stop at Walmart for a few items. Also a talk at the library about all the movie theaters that used to exist in town.

All stay safe.

Good Morning

     It's 63° heading for a partly cloudy 83°.  Gas is 3 bucks a gallon. 

     I have a new mower deck belt to be delivered today and I have to change that when it arrives. My grass is getting out of control 

      I didn't do any train work yesterday, pretty much just enjoyed the nice day we had.

Good afternoon folks

It has been crazy adjusting to the new assignment at work. As a result, my computer time has been erratic. At the old place the schedule was more rigid regarding break times and begin and start times since there was only one contractor working. Here there are numerous contractors all working their own schedules.

This weekend will be busy. On Sunday my wife is doing a flea market. Saturday will be spent organizing and loading up her car. There is also laundry to do. We have the usual errands of running to the grocery store, produce store, pharmacy, and PetSmart.

I have not planned much for modeling. I hope to run some trains.

I hope everybody has a good day.

Which Flea Market?

Greetings, gang.

Clear (finally) and 37 with a promised high in the low 60s.

Yesterday was pretty quiet. This morning is more soccer. Not much else planned for the weekend. New fire pit cover should be here early next week. The weather has certainly not been cooperating with my moped. Other than Tuesday it's been too cold or too wet to ride. Grrr!

Mikey - I hope you don't get the hail along with the rain.

All stay safe.
