Evening, I think?
Flo, Beer is Good, may I have a few pleases.
Life Is Like A Spetic Tank, And Today Someone Pushed Me In! It was busy today and I could not sell a $10.00 bill for $5.00! Toward evening I did not even have time to eat. One of the worst customers was a couple with 3 brats that where running amuck. Jump on everything incluling the bed I was sitting on while talking with the parents. They where looking for a $99.00 Bunk Bed? Yea, that would only last while it was still in the box in there home! Then again, it might not last that long with the Brats jumping on it in the box!
By the time it was to go home, I could not think straight! I stopped for something and asked the cashier to place my bag in a plactic bag? It all so took me 3 trys to hander her the correct amount of cash to pay the bill! I am either getting Ate Up or my blood sugar was really caboosed up! Luckily I made it home safely. My vison was fine and I felt in control of the car, but for some reason I could not talk or add straight?
Because of the way I was not thinking straight, I did not touch the weights tonight. Just was not going to take the chance of hurting my self. All I need is to drop 200 Lb on my head!
Todd, boy I wished you dropped by more often! Far as resting ever other day I do some what. I work my shoulders and chest one day, then the arms and forearms the next day. Reason I think I may have been over working my self is because the last set I am working with the just about the max weight I can lift. From what Scooby says I should be using 60% or so of my max weight to work out with and use higher reps to failure each set. I use to do it that way some what and only went for Max weight evey 4 weeks or so. But, it had been a few decades ago and about 20,000,000
Bank Of Stupid Talked with my lawyer today and I was right, the paperwork that stated my loan payment was now $953.00 a month is out dated. Pointed out to her she about gave me a heart attack with out saying to disregauded this note! But, other odd information from BoS! They sent her a letter stating that ILL Hardest Hit Sent A $1047.00 House Payment To Them? She was calling my BoS rep to try to get details and will call me back? Some how I know this is going to bite my butt in some way!
See you all Wednesday I think.

I hate Rust
jeffrey-wimberly Well I put the new antibiotic into my med regimen and now I feel like crap. This tab is the antibiotic that's in penicillin. I'm allergic to penicillin and I wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason I feel so bad. I feel so bad I try not to move unless I absolutrery have to. I feel weak, mt eyes icth and I feel dizzy. Calling nthe doc tomorrow and telling hio about it. I don't need this.

I ma not sure I would wiat til tomorrow if you are anaphalactic about penicillin!
Or if you are anaphalactic about anything as you never know you might be anaphalactic about it too!
That sure soudns like the start to an allergic reaction!
MNAY antibiotics have sulfa in them,and being that I deathly allergic {truthfully}, I always ASK FIRST and refuse ANY antibiotic or other med with sulfa. The pharamacy once caught a med for the labral tear in my hip to ease the bone-on-bone pain, as the computer kicked it out. The pharmacist asked {again} what I was allergic to, and First thing I said was "Sulfa",and she said "that is why it kicked iot out...it has a tiny sulfa component to it".
We had to change meds to a lesser, but safer med for that routine. Buit now MOH has to be careful around it, and avoids it like the plague, as it is made up of a med component MOH is allergic too!
SO if you don;t feel better, best get tot teh ER PRONTO!
We don't wnat to lose you yet!

V8Vega - some other considerations to cost of moving :
Cost to paint, carpet, repairs to get your house in selling condition
Home inspectors ( not worth the cost of teh paper they print on ) but you have to fix the things that they think is wrong 0 idiots most of them -
Boxing and moving supplies
cost of transportation whether moving yourself or others do it for you
Setting up utilities in new accounts while you wait for the two years it takes to get your money back from teh old accounts
Repairs you will have to make on the new property.
There is more but these re some real life budget items
Ulrich, Johnboy , Gallaxy ...all Thanks

Good afternoon. Temp: 84°, humid: 51%It's warm but not hot. It might as well be with the humidity. You sweat just as much as if it was 100°. Got the doc appointment wrapped up. Go back in two weeks. Thursday I have an appointment with a different doc (evaluation for continuing with the wound vac) then on the 5th I have one with still another doc (gall bladder issues). Seems like they're lined up! After seeing the doc went to the pharmacy to pick up a new antibiotic. AMOX TR-K CLV. It's a generic form of Augmentin. It consists of amoxicillin which is one of the antibiotics in the penicillin family, along with clavulanate potassium, which works in the body to fight penicillin-resistant bacteria. I'm allergic to penicillin so it's gonna be interesting to see what this does. From the pharmacy it was on to Wal-Mart to pick up some things I needed. Among those were two cans of carb cleaner (cheaper than starting fluid) and a bag of #117B rubber bands. I use them on the sleeve of my prosthetic leg. They keep it from sliding down so it doesn't try to come off. A simple fix for a potentially embarrassing event.Nothing scheduled for the rest of the day except to get some rest.

Stalking, Snooping, and Spying, via Zillow
And here I was using it to look for real estate! Silly me!
We are thinking of moving out of Taxachusetts after I retire, and Maine is one of our preferred options. So, I did some Zillowing just to establish some sort of baseline. We've also had a local real estate team looking at our place.
But y'know what? Moving is expensive. Between the real estate agent fees (absurd) and the cost of moving (also high, but at least they do something for the money) it's tens of thousands of dollars. And then, you know you'll be replacing curtains, carpets and appliances. I have to do the number for real, but it would take us years to make that kind of money up in tax savings. It's not our plan to stay in the Frozen North forever. Once we get too old to ski every week, we might move to somewhere away from brutal winters. So, now I'm thinking that we may not move at all until that point.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
V8Vega Stalking, Snooping, and Spying, via ZillowYou can look up anyones house if you know their address, you get a good clear picture, you can zoom in, and move around, see all the house and yard, and neighbors houses.It tells the current value, how many bedrooms and baths, the house and yard sq. ft. When it last sold and for how much so you know how long they have lived there.You know what car they drive so the only thing you don't know is their bank and investment amounts.The big church I go to has affluent neighborhoods all around it. I don't want my rich friends to look up my modest house and low house price neighborhood.I doubt that any do but as more and more people realize they can people may start to do this.

Well, Out of curiosity, {since I live in a trailer in a private park} I looked up my father's house. It shows a sky view, same as on Google earth, but no "street view" as it is not on the market. The "guestimate price" MIGHT be right based on what sales have been LISTED FOR around him. the house was correctly built in 1957, but "last sold was in 2005" so unless he didn't tell me something, and is renting it back or took out a reverse mortgage and didn't tell me, They say it was "last sold in 2005". They are DEAD wrong.
Sq footage/BR/Ba/acreage/taxes can be found in any town records for any porperty. SO no surprise there.
I did find it interesting that a house near him is on the market {That I was not aware of} at a rediculously low price and listed as needing "TLC" with no interior pics. I know who owned it growing and their son took it over and unless he never kept it up inside , which I can' t imagine he's that type, then something smells funny there and I could about afford the price! Either that or they need a QUICK and I mean QUICK sale!
Now Updating, for that house, I can see as most have been left in their in their 1957 state.
We live near a US govt manufacturer of gov't helicoptors, and they frequently fly over the area on rounds. We started WAVING in big arm waves up in the air to them {from inside the trialer}, so they could see it on infared or other cameras we KNOW they got going. Guess what they do now every time they take it up? They hover over our trialer waiting for us to wave!
So even INSIDE yoour house you are not safe from prying eyes anymore!
and now with private drones in the air, anyone with oen can spy on you
So what can you do? not much so far.
Mornin' everyone!
Zoe, I'll have a bowl of hot oatmeal please. Huh? yes, I know it is July but the temperature overnight was 58°F. I almost turned on the heat! But not quite.
Dark and gloomy so far this morning, but the sun is supposed to pout in an appearance this afternoon. Yesterday I made all of 2.5 kWh of electricf. I think that is the worst day during the Summer months I have ever had. We had a little over 2.5" of rain yesterday. I haven't been down cellar yet to see how deep the water is.
Ulrich, your little railroad is coming along wonderfully and will be a masterpiece when finished! I am enjoying your progress with this.
Hot button topics.... It was not my intention to start something in here, my friends. Our hosts at Kalmbach have asked us not to get into certain types of discussions not to be "PC" but rather because they are topics that tend to get very nasty, very fast. It was from experience that this came about. Please know that I am an Ordained Deacon in the Presbyterian tradition. That said, in some ways I would be in strong disagreement with some beliefs held by others in here. But... I try to be friends with all of you as much as possible and to respect that everyone has diverging points of view in certain matters. What is important is that we support each other and be friends with each other in the context of the forum. I think that can be done and still keep the spirit of the Modus Operandi set by our hosts.

I hope to get more done on an article I am writing about a project on my layout, and start to stain the stonework for the bridge today. I also need to get to cleaning my house. I have a Boy Scout and his Mom coming over on Thursday evening. The Scout wants to get his Music MB signed off. I don't want to gross them out with the way the dump looks at the moment...
Have to get moving... A lady from church called and left a message on my machine. Something about the Sound System at Church, and a couple other items. Need to go put my hearing aids in and call her back.
Later!

Afternoon Folks!
There is no end to the hot & humid weather in my neck of the woods. Most of Germany is going through a series of really bad thunderboomers and torrential ra*infall, but we are ´staying "dry". I wish it would cool down soon, this is not my kind of weather.
Todd - good to see you again!
YGW and all others - I don´t think it can be wrong sending those of us in need a . After all, we live in a society based on Christian values and traditions! One of those values is respect for other peoplé opinions and belief!
Jeff - with the talent you have for little, but atmospheric scenes, I do hope you find a way to do some MRRing!
I spent some hours building a cardboard mock-up of one of the landmark buildings on my layout - the Harbor View Hotel & Saloon. It turned out to be a not so quick, but really dirty affair, as the humidity we have made the cardboard stock really soft. Building it taught me another lesson - nothing ever gets build the way it was planned (have I heard that before?). The space I have for the buildings is different from what I have planned, so I will have to make other mock-ups to see whether they fit into the space and scene.
Here are some pictures of the mock-up in its designated place.
May you have a great day!
Just about to head out in a few, talk to you guys later on

Hi Guys
Busy few days ahead of me. I have to work today and tomrrow ( 11am-7:30 ) and tomorrow after work I have to cut my aunts grass and that usually takes about a hour or so, so Im going to be tired tomorrow night. Thursday im off but need to cut my front and back grass and clean up the gardens. They arent a real mess ( yet,lol ) but want to get at it before it becomes out of control and taking hours to do. Usually now I can cut and clean the gardens in a couple hours tops, but it might be a bit more then that on Thursday as I havent been out to do much aside from water the plants since last week.
Talk to you guys tonight or tomorrow
yougottawanta Now I will get off of my soap box Galaxy - I enjoy your qoutes even though they are VERY different than mine. I am enriched by your dedication and research for each new day. YGW
Now I will get off of my soap box
Galaxy - I enjoy your qoutes even though they are VERY different than mine. I am enriched by your dedication and research for each new day.
YGW: You may have noticed I am "allowed" to use the word "prayer" in the morning greeting for "healing" for those in need or pain. Many believe in its "healing powers' others just believe it's plain luck. There is not much wrong in saying "I'll pray for you" any more than "bless you" {which the two words, while having religious overtones assigned to them, are innocuous in themselves}. Bless you is used here so rearely you'd be hard pressed to find it in the archives.
You May ALSO NOTE: I have STOPPED or REDUCED my use of the word "prayer" and have often left it all out all together in my morning HEALING greeting. Everyone can agree, I am sure that they as human beings, wish another human being well when they are ill. Look earlier on this page to see how i worded it, no word "prayer" at all.
"Energy" and its fields, strengths, "feeling" and power {like getting electric shock} is something pretty much ALL can relate to. It is a non religious, non political word, so I can freely use it. Positve energy felt creates new positive energy and negative energy felt can even preceed it's holder into a room and down cast the field of energy already ithin that energy pattern. We all can pretty much have a knowing of that principal
I use the word "energy" also as MY religious reasons, as I have a total DIfferent take on religion than most {as I have "been there" once}, so my views in that realm are totally skewed from the unkonwing. ENOUGH said on that subject.
That soap box is down.
Now as to my quotes:
I am glad you DO enjoy them.
You are free to "disagree " with them or "not agree" with them or take them however you like, I understand they may differ from your views, as well as those of others, they are meant simply to provide a "good thought for the day" IF they DO SO for the reader.
I pick ones that I hope are "enlightening", "inspiring" "upbeat" and on occasion "educational", and many definitely provide a "different" point of view!!
I, being bipolar, and so having spent many years clincally depressed and institutionalized, now have tried to turn around my thought patterns and negative energies and try to create new positive energies and thought patterns ways to start a day. I like to share that, and if it brightens someone's day, great, if not, they are free to skip my colorful greetings. They are done so in color so as to be easy to spot for the new day's postings. Of late, since the car accident it has been VERY HARD for me to "keep up appearances" on positivity. {read back to June the 26th adn after's posts}
I can only pick non-religious quotes that again, may or may not mean something or anything to someone.
If not, they, too, are obvious and can be skipped by anyone wishing nto to read them...
My "MAKE it a GREAT day" phrase is stronger than the mundane common obligatory everyboy-says-it-and-ignores-it phrase "have a good day". As YOU can MAKE a bad day better if you change your attitude, thought pattern or laugh when you want to cry. MAKE the best of it. ONLY YOU can do that though!
Now I am off that soap box too, I shall go take a nap as i have taken a heavy duty muscle relaxer!
Make it a great day.!
I've been thinking about how to make something that'll support me as I work on the layout. I can't stand for more than a few minutes before it becomes agonizing. If I can construct something I can lean on that will take some of the weight off. It's just an idea at this point. From an idea comes innovation and from innovation comes inventiveness. I'm good at being inventive, at building things and I will do this. I'm not going to let not being able to stand and work defeat me! Sitting is out as the layout is too high and I have to be able to reach across it. No matter what it takes, no matter what I have to do, I'll make something that'll let me work on my layout with some degree of comfort.
Morning YGW.
That was well written and I agree with you......
I was warned years ago for having a scripture reference in a tag line below my signature.
So much more could be said, but let it be known that I'm displeased with all this PC jargon and having religion pulled out of the school systems and the courts. Then those who did these things stand back and wonder what has happened to our children and courts, and Countries.

Good morning everyone.
Howmus - thank you, I do know that I am running close to the invisible line that some will tolerate of others views and beliefs and I am aware that the forum allows us more latitude in here than other tags. BUT for those that are uneasy with my comments let me point out something that they may not realize. There are many on MRR that cross that line daily with out thinking they have. For instances they cross the line with their screen names that have nothing to do with MRR, Qoutes at the end of their tags , subject matter they discuss out side of MRR, qoutes etc....Many of which I find offensive or totally disagree with BUT I do not protest I believe in teh old saying " I may not agree with what you are saying but I will defend your right to it" . I say all of this to say we have a problem here and it is called "reverse descrimation" if a few individuals feel offended by one persons comments BUT break the rules with their discussions, tags, photos etc...then that is hypocrisy in its worst form. We watched as that happened to UPMike. No one stood up against the bigotry shown him and for that we were all devalued by that episode. I do not agree with the thought process of, "view points may offend a few so they have to shut up". When others present their side of conversation I welcome that. It creates dialogue, dialogue opens doors of new oppurtunites to become increased in knowledge, view, wisdom and chances to create new venues to growth as individuals etc... there by increasing us and who we are. Many remember the book burnings by Hitler. In a small way not allowing divergent views is similiar to his book burning. America was created by those that fled the tyranny of Europe so that they could worship FREELY, not be persecuted, burned at the stake, robbed of land and possesions, tortured.... I will not lightly give up those freedoms they and thousands of military personnel gave their lives to protect for the new PC police that think what made us great is no longer acceptable.
Cuda - I love Mopars too. Thanks for the nice comment. I do pray for those here even if I do not have to. We are a band of brothers here.
Jeff - I think you are one of the most unique and talented person I know. I hope and pray that you will be able to continue in the hobby.
GMRT Racing - Hope you can find time for MRR. Glad you popped in.
Garry - how are you havent seen you in here much.
Good Morning All,
It's been a while I know. Still doing work,exercize,sleep and still having issues with the knee and now hip but I'm mobile so I'm not complaining. The shop has been nuts with cars apart all over and one race weekend after another. I leave for Denver (High Plains Raceway) Thursday morning, back Monday then Vermont (Mt Equinox hillclimb) , then Pocono, then Lime Rock, then Watkins Glen, then Elkhart Lake, well you get the picture. Better to be busy than not.
Haven't been to the museum or the basement layout for a couple of months - just no time. I did want to stop in and let you all know I'm still around. My prayers for those ailing and best wishes to you all. Cheers, J.R.
RB,
About your layout.....look at the bright side, all that computer space. A nice u-shaped work bench, with a comfortable roll around chair that rolls up to each computer you have set up and pute' away. You don't have to have a layout to be a Model Rail Roader.
Take Care, buddy!

And so starts the Second Mister Coffee Era. The old one stopped working Sunday night, so I had no coffee yesterday and had to (GASP) buy some at the cafeteria. I spent my lunch hour at Best Buy, where I got the last one, and came away empty handed. Best Buy has seen better times. It appears that they are not maintaining the store, as the aisle carpets are frayed and the tile spaces between carpets were pretty dirty. Their inventory is low, too, hence the lack of success. I looked online afterward, and had a "D'oh!" moment when I found just what I wanted at Target, on my way home and no more than 4 minutes from work.
To view the clock on the new one, you need to by 4 feet tall, because they mounted it inside a deep bezel which blocks the view of a normal-sized stand-up guy like me. I thought of Tyrian from Game of Thrones. I would have been happier with a clone of the old one, but no, they have to "improve" things.
Hockey night tonight!
Good morning. It's 73° with 95% humidity. There's a small chance of rain. The high will be 92°. with Only thing on the schedule today is a doctors appointment at 10:15. Outside of watching a movie or two I have no idea what's in store for the rest of the day.
howmusSo Jeffrey, did the Van start? How soon will you be getting the rebuilt motor? Whose Layout is that you posted tonight? Very nice, but obviously not inside your trailer....
Morning has broken, like the first morningBlackbird has spoken, like the first birdPraise for the singing, praise for the morningPraise for the springing fresh from the world
Quotable quotes;
We need to all heed this one:
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love?' These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will be many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.
The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.
For those wondering aobut the MIAs. people always come, and people always go.
People also get out of *GASP* the MRRing thing too. Look at Jeffrey, he may have his layout torn down too. I have got mine to bare bones, and so we can better utilize that room as a "storage closet", the mini layout may have to go. MOH is into trians too, and has a few N scale stuff for use, but even teh 40" board around the xmas tree annoys MOH. Of cours e that is probably becuase MOH wants european stuf and at $500 a pop for a N scale loco, is aware we won't be getting any soon.
I may then pop in here ocassionally but would feel like an outsider!
I recently said I was thinking of Selling off my HO stuff *GASP* {NOT HERE} bcause it will just rot away, and maybe if someone can use it, better for them to have it than me. I will keep a few choice pieces and that is it.
it has also maybe outlived its usefullnes to some, they don't want to blog all day every day. I guess its just us who have nothing better to do than want to blog and share our day. I am surprised Ken is back as I thought we lost him to the MOPAR frums for his car!
Even I get tired of myself telling "i've done the laundry". WHoopie!
I miss the interaction with some of the older folks who use to come in the diner, too, but there may be new ones to take their place and ones hwo may wnat to join, then deiced its all about "laundry"!
I may sson leave if I dismantel the layout and sell off *GASP* my stuff! I own't need to come here as much though maynbe I'll pop in once in awhile if I cna remember my password!
later
I am on here only as a resort of the fact that I have full sized reading glasses and can actually SEE the things in front of me.
APperently I gto a bit rambuctious last night and knocked tmy glasses off the night stand! I have never done that before,and I Don;t see them wiht the flashlight anywhere i cna easliy grebe them,s o they are apparently behind the bed or the night stand where I cna't see them. Gettting to them woudl hten entail pulling out the 'table' {box really} the CPAP stands on, the grabage and possibly hte night stand to to get to ba ablet to get under ther to retrive them.
At least I HOPE that is where they are and nto broken! I usedto take tehm off in teh LR, but now kinda need to see when i get up for the facilititesm, though I just proved I can do my hting without glases. I checked the bath to be sure I hadn't left tehm there, adn my daystand are in the LR jst in case. All turned up NOPE.
Turnign on lights, and making furniture moving noises will be sure to wake MOH! so I have to wait I think until five am {its now 2:30} when MOH wakes by alarm, could wke earlier naturally.
Now IF and I say that strongly IF I cna't find them, I will need to find if I can a 1 hour lab place IF they still exist, and I don;t think they do anymore. I'll take a singe distance lesnse for now, order the bificals later. I looked for,ad n have no idea where they ar, butg i looked for my old glasses.Mhgt have donated them somehere, dunno. I always try to keep the old pair for emergencies, but now i dont where i oput them.I ned my newer regualr glasses to find my old glasses!
Hopefully they aren't broke and easy to find once i get in there. Mind you the space i am talking about is only 18"wide between the wall and the bed, but the glases could have rolled under the bed very far. hopefully close and unborken. I have worn taped up glasses while wiating the two weeks on the new ones, but don"t prefer "the look".
Well, keep on keeping on.
Evening Folks
Flo, Beer Pleases!
Today has been OK, not terrable but not good either.
Work was OK I guess. Only 5 customers 2 of them bought and I made a extra $5.00.
House Front Still not sure where I stand, but I am 98% sure I am correct that the payment stayed the same. I called my Laywer twices today but never got a return call. Not real worried about that, it has happened before.
Did not work out tonight for 3 reasons. Had a late customer and got out of the store 15 minutes late. Sparkie The Rocket Dog is getting stubren about taking is second poop for the day. He seems to know if he does not poop twices for Sue, I will walk him when I get home! Well guess what, I had to walk him tonight when I got home. Now I love the heck out of him, but I sure don't feel like walking him after working 10 hours and a hour drive home. Thrid reason, I been watching some of Scooby's videos and wonder if I have not been over training a tad. So I am going to give my self a extra night off.
Health and $ front. Sue has a bad tooth again and it needs to be pulled! I am $168.00 short of the house payment, pulling the tooth is going to cost $125.00 and my next check net is going to be around $343.00. Does not look good this coming week.
YRW Thank you for your kind words and thoughts. Don't worry about me (Much) I am a Tuff Old Bird. What does not kill you will make you stronger is a motto I live by. But, I do wish I was not tested as much as I am in my Copper Years. Sure wish I had saved up for the Golden Years now!
Later, Ken
Evenin' folks!
Janie, I could sure use a ciup of decaf right now.... Thank You Ma'am!
So Jeffrey, did the Van start? How soon will you be getting the rebuilt motor? Whose Layout is that you posted tonight? Very nice, but obviously not inside your trailer....
Rained most all day here. We have gotten 2.61" of the stuff in the last 24 hours here in the Finger Lakes. Not far to the West of here they got considerably more and had to deal with flooding. The NYS Thruway was even closed between Rochester and Batavia for over an hour due to having 5" of water in the road in places! I have water in the basement as usual from all this. A bit is in the train room but most is out in the workshop. Did start the syphon this afternoon as the area behind the back steps was full. Don't ever remember getting this much water in the basement the end of July before.
I did get a bit more done on the bridge I am building. Got the girders painted both with spary paint and then had to touch up a lot of places with a brush. This is a project that there just isn't any way to get spray paint in some places. Wasn't easy to get a small brush into some areas either. Setting on the worktable...
Testing it in place on the layout. I like to photograph these projects a lot as it gives me a better chance to see where I messed up!
Obviously the next step will be to stain and weather the bridge piers.
Another person who hasn't been in a quite a while here is Curt. The guy who has the skunks as pets. I used to like his posts and photos of his layout (and the skunks...).
Oh, I have been getting more and more (Yawn) bored with the little (Roadrunner sounding) Meep, Meep on the horns in my prius. so.... I just ordered a pair of these (one high and one low) for the PiP!
Hope you all have a great night! prayers for all in need!
I didn't get a whole lot accomplished today. Just watched some TV and got the dressings on my foot changed. Had lunch with my father and step mother. A combination sausage and pepperoni pizza. That was about it. I have a doc appointment in the morning so that's the morning pretty much shot.Time to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.

The drizzle has now turned into a light, fairly gentle" constant rain out there. I had to go over to the Pharmacy to get a new battery for my Glucose Meter. Cost me all $1.38. The weather people say we have gotten an inch of rain in the last 24 hours. Drought's over! Actually we haven't had any drought this year in these parts.
Speaking of Forum Rules..... YGW, we are probably getting close to being out of bounds with our exchange, so back to Model Railroading. (Not saying we did anything wrong, just close to line for the forum. We have folks of many different backgrounds and beliefs here and we want to be welcoming of everyone! And we don't want to start anything....)
I'm about to head downstairs to the layout and see how the Bridge Feet look. I'll take a couple photos and then maybe put a coat of paint on the bridge. I will also measure the bridge abutments height to see what else I need to put there for the bridge to match the Fill it crosses over the road.
