So... What is your Pandemic Quarantine project?

[Kid@Heart]

It is hard for all say this because all will think less of me,, but I will nap.

Don't worry.
There probably isn't anything you could do that would make us think less of you.

Found this while cleaning my shop today. The engine is bad from sitting for probably 30+ years and a couple track pieces are missing. Otherwise it's still in fantastic condition. I've already been on line finding replacement parts.

There are TWO awesome train shops in Portland, not sure if the one near down town is still up and running, but Whistle Stop on Division St. is still there, and would be THE place to find track, and any other bits and pieces you might need, and may even be able to salvage your original engine! Give them a look!

The whistle stop is still in business! I have not been in there for probably 25 years. I may have to look them up and travel the coronamile. No stops in between. I am going insane! My wife is acting like we're 19 again and my back can't take that anymore!

...travel the coronamile.

That's awesome! Can I use that? Full credit will be given, or course!

The ammo cans are all full. All of the guns are clean. I'm getting tired of watching varnish dry and I've seen almost all of the Russian tank movies on YouTube. Getting so I almost don't need the sub titles anymore. Guess I can always make up some beef jerky...

ARGH!!! It's getting down to where I may have to clean some carpets...

OH BOY!!! The change oil light came on in my car...

I'm sure my wife will come up with something....

 

[Capn Jack]

If worst comes to worst...I can always read the, "Windows 10 for Dummies" book I bought after, "Bill" forced me to upgrade to a 64 bit machine.
Maybe it will tell me how I ended up with 4 e-mail programs. I have yet to figure out how to send a message in one of them.
That and how do I delete all of the, "Deleted" messages that seem to be piling up.
It's going to take a while to straighten out this mess and get organized again.

Just go with Apple iOS, none of those silly Winders issues

Working from home and the wife and son are here also. Puppy obedience classes canceled so we will be spending lots of time training him. Believe me, this wild thing needs it!

Adorable! He's going to be quite the handsome fellow as he grows up. We've got a Klee Kai, she's the best dog I've ever had, by far...

I've always been a huge fan of the big, furry, "woof dogs" (as opposed to ankle-biting "yip dogs").
We had several Norwegian Elkhounds as we were growing up.
Totally loyal and fiercely protective critters.

At one point, my dad made a harness and hooked up "Apache" to our little red Radio Flyer wagon.
Apache would tote us kids all around the environs of eastern Walla Walla County, and never gave it no mind...

Full disclosure: The dog in the image above is not our dog. I don't have any pics of any of our many pets from 50-odd years ago...

Big furry dogs...
Yeah we had too...
Our two Big 'Uns....
Sheba and Duke....both had long happy lives and gave us much joy.
