I need to be more specific with my prayers. God clearly heard “dye” when I said “die.”

You need to relax, they said. Take up a hobby, they said. Model railroading is fun, they said. 🤬 Tichy rebuilt USRA boxcar. Still needs decals (P&LE or PMK&Y), touch-ups, and weathering. Ceramcoat craft paint. Not happy with the paint job; I need to experiment more. #modeltrains

We took the cats to the vet this morning, which stressed them out. DeeCee shit herself (of course), but PolLee found her happy place.

Darn it! I was planning on using the dumpster for our bathroom remodel to get rid of the leftovers from my basement lab! NOW what am I going to do?

Did some 1:1 modeling last week at the Quincy & Torch Lake in Hancock, MI. #modeltrains

This is a picture of a cat. I'm not sure what thing in front of it is....

I can't help myself. I just LOVE these little tool chests! (There's a Gerstner upstairs, too....)

Good evening, all! The loons are out in force!

Well. I must have done SOMETHING today... At the Quincy and Torch Lake enginehouse.

Happy Earth Day to those who celebrate.

I just came across a great quote from Tony Koester in the June 2009 Model Railroader: "If winning a blue ribbon in a model contest helps to make you a better modeler, that's good. If beating the other guy is your main objective, you may have confused hobbies with sports." #modeltrains

Well. St. Paddy's Day storm forcast: 1-3 FEET of snow (up to 4 feet inland), 60-70 MPH wind gusts, and 20-30 foot waves on Superior. Buckle up, here we go!

OK, calling this done. File cabinet on left, storage cabinet in middle, book shelf on right. The big cabinets are for rolling stock storage. Now I just need to figure out a track plan! #modelrailway

More progress on my layout model/mockup. #modelrailway

Mackinac Jack @mackinacjack.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Latest project. I was having trouble envisioning how my layout would fit into the alloted space, so I built a model. It's tricky, with a sloped ceiling above and access doors beneath. 1:8 scale. #modelrailway

Random thought while blowing snow: "Precipitation" is just "cloud participation".

Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Rogue toe removed, cone of shame for another week or so. PolLee is a sad kitty. 😪

OK. We're having a conversation about moving to Canada, and we want to know what the Canadian ICE is called. Is it NICE? (Northern Immigration and Customs Enforcement?)
