Good morning all!
An overcast dry day today on the West Coast, just North of the forty-ninth.
Tom that car looks like it would be an awful lot of fun on a sunny day.
My friend bought an Austin Healey back in 1976, just out of high school. I think it had a straight six in it. Man, that thing could move. I am starting to get sports car envy again.
Went down to Lynden Washington to their great train show yesterday. I must be living right as there was no wait at the border coming or going. On the way down the border guard ask me where I was going, I said I was going to the Lynden Train show, he said, "you and everyone else, have fun".
On the way back the border guard asked what was coming back I said, "a herd of cows", holding up my ziplock full of cows. He laughed and said,"have a good day".
The train show was enjoyable. I have been on the hunt for cows for my layout for years. There is no way I am going to pay $20.00 for five plastic cows, so under the table's I would look for cheap beef. Well, yesterday I got a bag of 95 cows/cattle for $20.00. They are good quality ones with great paint, more than I need. So all those years of scrounging around under the table's finally paid off. I also got a Walthers conveyor system for $5.00 and a bunch of Campbell valley ladders and stairs and other stuff all for a Dollar. The next big show is in two weeks and then a biggie in Vancouver a couple of weeks after that. I wish they could be spread it out over the year. It is feast or famine on the train show front.
Busy day today as my wife is doing a (dog) grooming clinic here for 16 people and then it is six family members for prime rib tonight.
That's for the prime rib, not the family members. 
Bear, I finally managed to get your PM open and sent you one back. There is a bit bigger learning curve on this forum compared to the MRR one. Next is getting some photo's going. Our Mac is on its last legs after six years, so the wife is looking at the new ones. Yikes! $$$$$ :o
A good Sunday to all (or Monday) to those of you three hours to the West of me.
