    More rain yesterday afternoon and last night. Makes the brush grow so that we can have more wildfires during the next "fire season". It's pretty cold out with the dampness and humidity this morning. Jeffrey - Don't mess with this Squirrel - he's ready for you. Today Partly cloudy. Patchy...

    Forgot about Friday the 13th. Now U have me worried. Still looks like rain could come at any time, but so far, none. Working on a track plan for On30 layout.

    Good Morning all. Heating/ac people got the furnance blower installed yesterday afternoon. Sure feel good to not wake up to a freezing house again. Got the low-down on the motor. First one quit because the small flimsly bracket that attaches the motor broke loose. Very poorly designed...

    All your comments are correct .. we have become a "throw-away" society. Nothing lasts like it used too. Except maybe Lionel trains (the 46-59 type), a few models of auto's that have been maintained, and old airplanes that have been maintained. Opps, some steam locos as well. I have been...

    Good Morning ... The heating/a/c man came yesterday afternoon. Discovers that the blower motor was the trouble. This motor was replaced last August with a new one- the house is only a year old this month. My previous house had the same motor for 17 years with never a problem. Kind of has me...

    Still mostly cloudy and occasional rain(mist) shower. Just enough to make me have to clean/dry off eight paws about 10 times a day. Funny, when I take them to the river, they race each other to see who can get into the water first and who can make the biggest splash .... but they stand at the...

    Those are truly beautiful. You are very talented. Just be careful round here ... someone will tell you that you have to grow your own timber to call it 100% scratchbuilt. Not Me - No Way Ho'se. 1000 Kudos from me. Keep up the good work.:thumb: What's the "tin roofing" from????

    Lots of rain for southern California in the last 24 hrs. My back yard looks like the old swimming hole. It's a pain having to wipe off eight little paws everytime the dogs want to go outside. They insist on wading thru every puddle they come accross. Wish that I had been able to complete the...
