'Ello! Nice to be on again. 

Anyway, construction on the P-38 has taken a detour. It's wings started to pit, so I needed to delay construction and add some body putty. It's coming out alright. Since the rivets got hidden, I am planning to add some rivet decals once I get some.

  Evening All.

     Got a little more scenery work done on the layout.

     Visit with cardiologist went well. He says I am one of his healthiest patients. Did a sonn-a-gram or ultra sound I can't remember which, or what the difference is, of my left leg where they took the veins out for my double by-pass, because it wa a little swolen. I guess I do not have a blood clot, which is what can happen, because they sent me on my merry way. Need to get my 6 month blood work taken care of in the next few days. 12 hour fast for that. Don't like going that long with out eating.

   I will Skype with my son in an hour and after that maybe do some more layout work.

   Prayers to all in need.

Just 10 to 12 times back and forth should be enough. You're just trying to knock down any rough places or burrs.

My final post for this month. Tomorrow is March 1st. Bill paying day! Gonna be a bust morning I would think. The weather guesser says it'll be nice enough. Got some cleaning done on the layout today. Still needs more.

Time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.

 Evening Dinners!

 Flo, I will take a Copy and Paste Special in case the dinner gets yank out from my feet by some eager beaver and a Beer 

 

Packer
Ken, Just curious as to why? If it runs good and has a low stall current on DC, it should stay that way with a decoder.

 Vince, not meaning to sound like a jerk but so if there is a problem, it will BBQ your decoder and not mine! Whistling When I used them for trade with you they had both BBQ a decoder, but you where looking for dummies at the time. Plus the one engine tested fine on DC, then acted up on DCC.

 

Packer
(A DH123 fits when the extended prongs are cut off).

 OK, you totally lost me on that one!

 Work Front Today was slow, real slow. So I got out at 8:10 PM, pretty much on time! Big Smile If I made a extra $5.00 today I will be surprised but to be honest I don't care! I all so did not do something on the computer that I think I should have done on a part that needs to be returned. Wrong part ordered by Dillon. This something new I am to do and I was unsure. So I may get berated by Taylor, and again I Don't Care! 

 Time to see if this will post.
