Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 50° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 74° with lots of sun. Weather is perfect for patio time after a few miles bike ride.
Good Morning All.

Randy,
Yeah I did a lot of buy and flips to. I will try to post a video of my latest creation. A 200 series Lionel B-unit with twin motors, They never made them so I thought why not. Kind of gives you a view of the layout. Not sure but you may be able to see others of it. Anything listed as myssei94 should be of our stuff. I don't want to get off track here or get in trouble for doing train and not tractor stuff.

Trains are a big thing in the East Valley of Phoenix, AZ. Little bigger than your Lionel.

26.6F and clear @ 08:00 ... high of 40F predicted for the day.

Went by the LFS yesterday and picked up the last two Pakistani (Yo Yo) loaches they had ... so that will make three and hopefully give the one I had a couple of playmates, so it can focus its attention on his own kind, rather than on the other fish in the tank.

Also got some duckweed (for free) to see if I can grow it, which I'll put in the 10g since it had some pond snails mixed in with it.

Need to cut and stain a board today for the lower shelf on the stand for the second 55g tank, so I can set up the 20g long. Other than that, will likely spend the rest of the day cleaning house.

Anyone hear anything on how Bird is doing ?

Be careful of bleach in tank known to eat the rubber stopper at least it did in my case

Had the same thing happen with a couple of old foam rubber gaskets on one of the Magnum filters when I tried to clean it. Turned 'em into mush.

Re: wallpaper ...

Wagner makes a steamer unit designed to remove wallpaper ... might be worth the investment if you have some to do.

If you were closer I'd lend you ours.

That's so cruel to make us wait all weekend to find out - or are we expected to have a guess ?

Ok then ...

Is she bringing out her own brand range of alligator skin bags, shoes and phone covers ?

Too young for an autobiography, so it's got to be she has a TV crew following her 'gator adventures, maybe even a whole series ? You can deny it all on Monday.

Ok here is what I can post today the rest will have to wait till Monday.

"Remember: The typical rule for posting things on social media is two days before the episode airs. Also, make sure you. . ."

It's a one time thing, but she had a blast with it.

Get ready to tune in on Wednesday.

Good morning! 49˚ sunny, a line of showers with hail hit at 2A.M. and we got .15" of rain. It will get to 57˚ but we will have a strong North wind making it seem colder.

I need to replace some cedar post in my tall deer fenced garden today.

Still waiting anxiously for Bird to post after his surgery.

 

[farmer2009]

31 this morning and headed to 54 today.

Think after I get birds walked I'll go work on building today. Really do need to get that finished up. Wife is adding more large projects to my to do list. One of which includes a new baby room. Before August.

Nice trains. Get a couple of tractors on those flat beds and then you will be "on topic". We'll just need pictures.

Have a good one.

22 right now...should hit about 40 today.
Like Thomas...got to do a dump run. After that...fiddle around, I guess.

 

[mkr7734]

Good morning from a sunny but cool 27 degree North Bluff. If they have it right it will get into the 40s.
I to would rather it just stay cold or warm up and get over it. Makes for such a mess with the ground thawing and freezing.
I did get the kitchen wall ready yesterday for the tile job. Now just to get the guy here to help do it. He has the tools.:thumbsup:
Yes those Garden railroads are nice but you got to have that nice AZ weather and a lot of $$$$$$ for them.
Our layout does have a logging scene with some tractors working.
Well enjoy your day.

Good morning all. only got down to 41F before it clouded up, trace amount of rain, does not look like any more will fall here. Forecast for 54F, moderate breeze and some clearing later today. trip to Sherman today. Will get my Jan. billing done plus some putter jobs for TMA.

Welcome aboard mkr, nice train sets. I love toy trains and wish I had the time and money to do an outdoor garden scale, but I'm low on both.

I had about 4 days of reading to catch up on the GMT. Hope Bird is OK. He's a first class fellow.

I need to go get a haircut, and then decide which of hundreds of chores to do.

We had a thunderstorm come through last night around 3 am. Just enough to wake everyone up.

 

[toppop52]

Nice trains mkr! 26° going to 47° today, little left of yesterday's snowfall.

Well Congratulations Farmer!

Thanks, think I will order one from amazon and give it a try.

NE ohio is not that far away, LOL. My oldest sister that passed away used to live in Parma Heights. Have a relative in Canton, most of my family in SE Ohio.

congrats Farmer. It's the baby room wallpaper border I'm removing, my baby is now 17.

 

[wngsprd]

Great news Farmer...sounds like buckeye has some wallpaper for you.

Good Morning! 51F @ 9:00AM. A mix of clouds and sun. High 66F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.

Welcome to all the new faces; the more the merrier!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[farmer2009]

Thanks guys.

The room is already wallpapered. It's applied directly to the drywall when they make the drywall. Mobile home. I'll be covering it up with a new layer of drywall. Exterior walls will get a layer of foam board insulation. Just like our sons room did. New flooring as the carpet will leave. Then paint and new trim.

But currently that room is my office. So office is getting moved to the new building. It'll be nice to have that separation though.

I asked how Bird was in the "people news" section, no report yet.

water filtration system finished, excellent install, including a new easy to use main house water disconnect.
205 bucks including his piping and valves, about a 16 foot double run to the main line.
Plumbers very impressed with how heavy duty the setup was, and no drop in water pressure.
pics to follow

Now off to change oil in portable gen, and work on the Cub Cadet.
