Well, here's something I just completed. You might like this one, DrGO?

This was beside the track as my wife and I travelled from New York City to Montreal, Canada. Nice looking engine.

Saying: thank you "veery" much, to Veery.

OK... Thanks for keeping me on track. Thank God I have only a one track mind... much easier to accomplish.

At least you can N gauge!

OH! (on a smaller scale and with dyslexia)

HO man, sorry to hear that.

More like an O man. My dad had an O gauge set up in our basement when I was a kid. I mean it was our entire basement. He had mountains, lakes, bridges, houses, churches, businesses, roadways with cars, farms with animals... Had a blast running them with Dad. We had electronic controlled switches so could move trains between rail patterns. Really cool way to bring Father and Son together!

I think you would really enjoy this place in nearby FLemington, NJ. It is called Northlandz. It has thousands of ( to scale ) miles of track and hundreds of trains all synchronized and in lifelike settings. We took our grandson there a couple of years ago for his 4th? Birthday. Here are some of the settings.

I spotted an albino Dalmation on my walk this morning.

It was the least I could do.

How can you tell the conductor is looking at you?
I haven’t the slightest idea. I would have to glance in that direction to know the answer to that!

Completed another one you might like.....this one also of the Lambertville New Hope Bridge over the Delaware River connecting NJ to PA.

Two old fellers met down town and were catching up since they hadn't seen each other for some time.
One says, yeah, I got a hearing aid and it is so great! State of the art technology it is so good I hear things I was missing for so long now.
Wow, says the other. What kind is it?

9:30.

Sven, was caught in a hailstorm while driving his Saab home from work. It was pretty bad, and looked like the dents were going to be permanent. He took it to a repair shop and to his surprise, the repair man said, “you can fix those dents yourself, you know. Just blow really hard into the tailpipe and they’ll pop right out”
Ole happened to be passing by Sven's house the next day and saw Sven “fixing” his dents.
“WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, SVEN?”
Sven told him about the repair man’s kind advice.
“Oh, Sven, he was really playing a cruel trick on you. You have to close all the windows first!”

I wouldn’t say I do a great deal of flying, but with that being said, here are some things I have heard:
When I asked for a coffee, “I'm sorry, we are out of lids so the FTA won’t allow us to serve it”
Later I asked a real airline flight attendant if this was a real thing, and she said, “what??? I NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING”
Another time I asked how could I report that someone asked me to transport something for them without my knowledge if I would have no knowledge of it?
“That’s why we have to make that announcement”, they said.
On another flight, an announcement was made, “please feel free to hesitate to ask if you need anything”

Let’s be clear. It is a real thing. The cow lick.

I always wanted to express my feel for these civil servants we owe so much respect to....”THE BUILDING INSPECTOR”
By me.

This is the second time I have seen this in my neighborhood. I tried to get him to stop and let me get a better shot, but I had no luck. I imagine he has people wanting to do the same all the time.

@oldpete

I saw an ad for a radio for 1$!! But the volume was stuck on full.

I decided I can’t turn that down.

A blonde guy is in the shower when his wife hollers, did you find the shampoo? He says, yes, but it says “for dry hair” and mine is wet now.

Same blonde guy gets home and sees an envelope on his front door mat. It says, do not bend so he spends the next two hours trying to pick it up.

Then he was on the phone with the emergency room, shouting,HER CONTRACTIONS ARE TWO MINUTES APART, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Voice on the other end asks, is this her first child?
NO, he says, THIS IS HER HUSBAND!

Just brought this one to the client's home last night for them to see their commission in the proper setting. They were thrilled with it. Even their teen aged kids were amazed by it. I think they liked it. I was very relieved.

Was this on Tik Tok by any chance?

Here are two recent paintings I have done this year so far.
