[Are you going to start with a section with a fairly long tunnel (so you can hide that new engine you were thinking of getting)?]
***Not a bad idea at all there, Jim. Hadn't thought of that one.
***Philip, hope you get well soon.
***Jeffrey, the third casting looks great. Looking forward to seeing how you will do the finished wall on your layout.
Exhausted & dizzy again today, but it will pass. Have a great day, all. Rob
Tough night last night. I've been up sick all night and now I can't sleep. Called in sick to work. I can't remember the last time I did that. It's been a couple of years at least.
Oh well, I hope everyone else is doing good.
Warmer than normal air will arrive as the jet stream will lift back to the north. Highs will be in the lower 80's. Pretty toasty for this time of year around here.
Good Morning, Diners - Zoe, a cup of coffee and a chocolate donut, please.
Thanks!
Just a quick stop for my breakfast 'snack' today. Want to get off to the w**k thing and get some more headway on some of the paperw**k.
Rob, sounds good that you and your CFO will be getting some more sleep now. 3-1/2 hours is a bit too short on that, especially if you're having to do all the stuff with the horses and farmw**k that sounds like is your usual day there. Starting with a modular (or sectional, like mine is) approach sounds like a good idea. Are you going to start with a section with a fairly long tunnel (so you can hide that new engine you were thinking of getting)?
Well, I'd best get going - Zoe, could you please put the rest of this coffee in a go cup and top it off for me? Thanks.
Blessings and prayers,
Jim in Cape Girardeau

Near a cornfield in Indiana...
Glass of water will be fine, going to hit the hay shortly. Another very long day of Inlaw stuff, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. MIL will not be returning (YIPPY...shhhh) and FIL may well end up in a nice assisted living facility. One thing we have discovered is taking care of him is 24/7, and it's killing us. 3 1/2 hours sleep is not a long term option for me.
Train Room Update: There will be no new train room. However, there is still the original plan/option for a 8.5' x 45' space (still needs a floor). OR, there are windowed rooms with more typical dimensions in the old cabin (needs roof repair, sheet rock, etc). That second option could be a while because we haven't the money to do the repairs. So, some re-thinking to do. Will probably make a modular layout, so I can start working on one section. Could spend the rest of my life waiting or actually start on "something".
Hope everyone is doing well. Rob
Chloe, I'll have a cup of decaf for now (and we'll let Inch and NScaler argue over who's covering it).
NScaler, I'm wondering the same thing about the Cardinals - they've been very on-again, off-again with their playing this year. Hope they get things together ASAP!
At model railroad club tonight, they got some additional lights up (little bit better grade than shop lights) for one side of the layout, and some of the cut joints evened up and mudded. Then we spent what seemed like a lot of time trying to figure how to add onto the layout (and whether to go for continous runs on the mainline (which would require stopping at one point on the layout and walking around to the back side, if we want walkaround control), or possibly remove a backdrop so the engineers could see the back part of the layout run. That'd involve putting the staging yard tracks up front, and trying to find something to sort of hide some of the back part of the mainline... They were still trying to figure it out when I left to come home (about 6 or so members). I'd prefer to have continuous mainline runs (even with the stops, which we said could be done as a crew change stop) and not lose the backdrop. But others seem to want something slightly different. We'll see what they want to come up with.
Work wasn't too busy today - had one client in walk-in (because the client couldn't wait until their Friday scheduled session), and an informational talk with a parent of a woman in an abusive (or at least over-controlling) marriage. Also had a call or two that were basically informational. Sent my co-worker out early to see a doctor (he'd been at an outside REO Speedwagon concert on Friday night, and had the sniffles (worse than mine has been so far).
Trying to figure out what I want/can afford to order from this month's Walthers sale flyer. Paul, I'm going to try to get some of those data only ore cars, so hopefully you aren't ordering your usual 100 at a time, right?
Jeff, that work on the stone wall with your mold looks pretty good. I'll have to get some of that WS rubber for some molds, myself. I'll check when Hobby Lobby has one of those 40 percent off coupons and get it then.
Bob K., it was good to see you in the Diner, and come back fairly soon, okay?
'bout time for me to head home and get ready for bed now. Prayers for those ailing or in need of comfort 'n' peace.
Blessings,
Army National Guard E3MOS 91BI have multiple scales nowZ, N, HO, O, and G.

Jeff: When you make a mold you can paint on severl coats of laytex and then put plaster soaked cloths on over that to make a hard shell. This saves laytex and still makes the mold keep it's shape.
I see that it's time for bed.
Good Night All

This afternoon turned out beautiful. I got a lot done on the fence and it can rain now. Looks like the weather will be great at the end of the week. We are going to sell the '41 Plymouth. Ten callers are fighting over the car at this time. The video sure helped to sell it. We were probably too low on the price, but I get my wood shop now.
