Every day this week has been rain with wind or just rain or just wind but today is calm and some sun. An enjoyable walk with the dogs.

Xfinity. After our 12 hour "neighborhood upgrade" shutdown on Wednesday, we had no Internet/cable from 7pm on last night. This morning at some point it was down again while the wife is trying to work. Called them and got it going again.....kind of and now it seems to be ok but when will it die again? They suck and no one can answer wth is going on.

Looks good. Very nice work on the shack and I like your color choice of gold better than the yellow I used.

Xfinity did some upgrades to the neighborhood yesterday which meant no Internet/cable tv from around 6 AM to almost 6 PM. They informed us ahead of time but you don't know how long it will be. The wife works part-time from home so she ended up not working at all which results in no pay. I missed most of the hockey game on TNT. She wrapped presents and I read a book for part of the day. I will say this was just an inconvenience compared to the poor people north of us in Washington with all the flooding they're having.

Been quite a few years since we saw Trans Siberian Orchestra but I agree it was a great show. One thing I remember is all the long hair on the girls AND the guys. LOL

I'm going to bitch and moan because it's my birthday and I'll probably feel better after I do it. Did my weekly grocery shopping this morning. The store has a deal each week to buy 3 or more things or 5 or more things on a list and get $ off. I sometimes take advantage of it but today I screwed up and bought a wrong size of something that wasn't on the list so that cost me all the savings. Wife feeding the dogs some blueberries and dropped one and it rolled under the stove and I'm on my hands and knees looking for it but it disappeared. Was in a funk this morning and nothing sounded good for breakfast. Non-stop raining for 5 days. Racing season is over. But hey, I'm still alive, still gonna take my dogs for a walk today and hockey season is here so I can look at the bright side and that should keep me going.

So sad but true these days. Was good for a laugh though.

Oh yeah, you did good!

Yep, that's what I was thinking of the whole time!

As much as I enjoy building model cars, I can look at this train stuff for hours. Glad you guys post your love of the hobby.

Barnes and Noble has changed in the last few years. I used to go there a few of times a year to look at all their discounted books but that has become slim pickens. Also became disappointed looking in the topic sections such as auto racing/car books. Maybe it's just the one near me but I don't go there anymore.

Lots of rain and breezy but the temp is 52. So much rain that my one dog hasn't pooped yet. He managed to run out and pee but came right back. He hates rain!

A clean sharp build. Enjoy seeing some of these older cars. Brings back memories.

I believe I bought 3 at the ridiculous price and wish I hadn't. Apparently I'm not a good enough builder to get 1 done as it's been in and out of the box several times and it won't fit together right. I know it can be done because I've seen completed ones but I keep failing.

That thought came to me.
