they refunded me right away so that was cool.
i ordered spikes from des plaines hobby on friday and they should be here by tuesday.
thursday, friday and saturday nights i will be glued to disney +. the peter jackson beatles documentary airs those nights and i can't wait.
been waiting three years. technically i've been waiting since 1969 when the beatles yanked let it be from theaters. this is gonna be so much better.
As far as spikes, purchased another order from Fast Tracks and will receive in a week
I need to get some ordered for my last three dioramas and anymore I may do.
I usually make my own but, I'm over that now and am very interested in seeing the size of these before I order some.
the ones i am getting are from microengineering ho rail spikes, 1/4", but they come in various sizes. i originally ordered 3/16" from yankee dabbler, but that didn't work out so well. des plaines hobby only had them in 1/4" and it was their last one. i pre=drilled all the holes so it doesn't really matter to me what size i end up with. and i'm gonna end up with a shit ton left over. i'm getting 1000 spikes and i'd be really surprised if i end up using 1/10 of what i get. .. pm me if you want me to send you some.
i got the rail spikes so i put the other project aside to install the rails and get them spiked.
i was so glad to have gotten through that project that i staged the walls for a photo op. nothing is glued down in these shots:
and i got a little start on the greenery
and a bird's eye view:
next up: adding dirt to bury the ties.
g'night guys. i'm pooped.

Meet Molly.
i kinda have a thing about naming my dogs after beatles women.
and its easier to say than obla di obla da.....
After two years since my loss I'm seriously considering taking the next step,
esp as one of the guys I work with is starting breeding Labs...
we didn't see the necessity this time around. there was a hole so we filled it. we waited 4 months, that's long enough.
the circumstances were similar to sadie's; some one abandoned a pregnant dog at a shelter. the shelter reached out to the rescues, the rescues have pretty stiff rules they have to operate under in illinois (puppy mills are illegal here) so they charge a flat fee and in this rescue the fee covers all the shots, deworming and spaying. that's the best $425 i've ever spent. we have to bring her to a certrain vet on a certain date. it's all set up already. it's a pretty cool system.
by the way, molly's littermates were all blondes.
She will give you much happiness for sure.
Our pup is also a rescue and we love her dearly.
