Things are pretty busy at my end. We are assembling a metal car port for my son's car, in addition to the usual fall work to get ready for winter. So not a whole lot of time left for the model railroad... That usually picks up in November.

Being contrary to Simon, probably in more ways than one, I've had to get the lawn mower out of hibernation, give it a tickle up, and due to Spring growth, mow the lawns as any longer, I would have had to hire a cattle beast to chew them down to a movable height!. However, BBQ weather is on its way!!
Cheers, the Bear.

Good morning diners. Flo, coffee please. Busy week at work as we're in a plant outage this week for maintenance. Tuesday was absolute chaos. Things should start winding down today. Here's hoping anyway.
Bear, I'm a bit confused by your BBQ weather comment. It's always BBQ weather as far as I'm concerned! Pretty common to find me outside getting snowed on cooking up something tasty.
I got curious about some cars I preordered. Looks like the first batch I ordered should be arriving within a couple weeks (Yay!). The second batch still haven't been made (No!). Oh well. They'll be a nice surprise when the come. Have a great day everyone!

Dont let the grass chewing beast see the BBQ until it completes the grass chewing. If it sees it the beast will lose any incentive it had to chew grass.
It might even think it's on the menu for the next event

Yes, one needs to think long and hard when invited for dinner by Hannibal Lecter.

Good Morning,
Had a very warm week here and a nice weekend expected.
Got a leaking kitchen tap fixed. It was the pull out faucet hose. The supplier sent one out no charge and I got it yesterday. Lucky I can still get under the sink.
My on going feud with a neighbour continues. He is behind the house beside us. He has a fire pit and the smoke blows in our yard. Yesterday there was a large cloud of smoke from his yard. My wife was very upset with th smoke blowing into our house and I thought his deck or house was on fire so I called the fire department. It was his fire pit. He is very angry. Doesn't occur to him that there was a very large amount of smoke he caused. Next time if his house is burning I'll ignore it. Get along fine with neighbours beside and behind.
Had a very stressful week on the home front and that just capped it off.
Hope your day goes well, I guess mine can only get better.

CN Charlie, I think we have the same neighbour. Our municipality accepts wood and leaves at the recycling centre, but the neighbour insists on burning everything. A real nuisance. Oh well.
No open burning allowed here.
But somehow a fire pit is exempt.
Then again, if Crankshaft is your neighbor the fire company is on standby.
Gidday folks, hon30critter Dave has just emailed me to let me know that he has also been "locked" out of the Forum, and "would you mind bringing folks up to date with my current situation."
I am sad to have to write that Dave reports that he is now in palliative care, his cancer is beyond treatment, and he "has no choice bur to let things run their course."
Now for what it's worth I felt that Dave's email was quite upbeat , Her-in-doors remarked that it seems that he's made peace with the world.. Still...
I have replied to Dave...
Thoughts and Best Wishes to All that need them. Kia kaha.
The Bear.
Very sad news Bear. Thanks for sharing.
