Hello all

Another quiet night on the mountain. More are coming tomorrow though.

Don - guess we need to come up w/ a Deusenburg dealership for Buckeye's layout as a companion to the beaver accessory that Chief hasStick out tongue

Continuing work on this little wood model of the Charles W/ Morgan whale ship. The balsa sure soaks up a lot of sealer, but I am liking the way it is looking. 

Hope to get some pics of the Marx SP 6000's in the morning.

Aloha. Back to work. Nice Opening Day for the White Sox. Couldn't justify taking another day off for it. Hope the windy-ness holds off.  

Bob, the youngest (with some supervision) built a beautiful wooden 2 masted sailing ship christened Smbob this weekend.  Photos to follow.

On my gun forum says it is snowing in MA.  Maybe why Jack has not posted in awhile.  Probably so deep even the internet can't get out. Laugh

John, you are a good guy.  Glad to have you around.  Still like your Governor. 

Had to open glass to door in greenhouse.  Fan running constantly [set on 90 degrees].  Guess I'll mow grass after lunch [no joke]. 

Later.

Ray, there were all sorts of music venues along the River Walk. I will have to look that up

Doug, sounds like a fun place.  Jim Cullum was a cornet player that followed his father's footsteps in traditional jazz.  I have some of his albums including one about Hoggy Carmichael's tunes.  They had an announcer on the radio show who's name escapes me but I have also seen him hosting shows about tourist railroads.  He is also a musician himself.  I hope Jim is still around.  Some of those old jazz musicians never retire, they just don't show up for a gig one day.

Buckeye, sorry about the kitty.  Sounds like a neat cat.  The story about the cat walking in an open door and sacking out on the bed is proof that if you want to find the most comfortable place in a house, just follow the cat.

D. Baker, I have a hard time figuring out what some of you senior members have been up to.  A lot of that stuff probably just went right over my head.

What about Chief and Buckeye being related?  Is that just another vicious rumor?

DIL and son have invited us to go out for lunch one day this week.  Originally on Wednesday but that has been cancelled due to possible thunderstorm but Tuesday is no better with showers forcast.  My grandson (16) wants to fly his radio controlled plane early on the same day whenever it is but I passed on the invite for that one due to lack of rest room facilities at the flying club.  Might be OK but just don't want to be stuck down there.  When you have Crohns disease, you have to know where every rest room in town is.  Most of the time, I'm OK but I keep the scout motto, "Be prepared".

Two train meets coming up this weekend.  TCA Saturday and TTOS on Sunday.  Theme for TCA meet is remembering former member, Ward Kimball of Disney fame.  We all have our favorite stories about him.  He was really a character and missed by the train collecting fraternity.  R.I.P. Ward.
