I did some HAZMAT Certification training as well. I hate the SCBA suits! But they keep us alive.

Great pics! Those suits look like a pain to deal with. Can you see in them?



Storm this week blew down a bunch of limbs out of our trees. This weekend we'll be running the wood chipper and making mulch like it's our sole purpose in life. I don't even have a place to put it all yet.

I go through spurts where I really enjoy working outside then the next week all i wanna do is sit around, play on the internet, and watch old westerns like a grandpa. Once i get outside and get started it's great, but getting that first UMPH going is tough.

Last week we opened our pool for the kids. I'd rather be on the water than in it, but they would sleep out there if we'd let 'em, haha. There was a shortage of alum this year (Thanks Biden!) so we opened late and had to use liquid flocculant to clear out the mess of winter. We're usually open by May 1st, if that tells you anything.
Then a pipe burst at midnight and blew out about 5000 gallons of water all out down the street. Water hose is getting a work out.

I need to come up with a good cover option for it that will fit on the deck. Last year we just covered it but covers get hung up on the deck and tear so they only work so-so at best. We end up buying a new cover every 2 years so that gets expensive.

I'm thinking about maybe building a plywood cover with 2x4s and 1/2" plywood that I can pull off in spring and put back on in winter. Haven't got it all figured out yet, but the wheels are turning.

Anyway, that's my update on other crap going on here.

I'm hip deep into a 75-year-old antique ship model restoration for a client, which takes drive time away . I'm just about ready to start the Shrouds and Ratlines.
Finished back in September. I forgot to post updated pics, and she was placed in a case.

It's a GM product powered by a V-6. A really BIG V-6! I volunteer at a railroad museum and this was our project for several years. Finished it about 3 years ago. It's a 1939 EMD SW1, one of the first diesel locomotives purchased by Southern Pacific. The restoration is complete, it's fully operational:
