It’s Getting Real Now

Done and Donner
Okay, here we are. All the planning and getting stuff done is starting to all come together for Lake Dora. And yes, we are going to officially start the engine this morning at around 9:30 AM. Very dramatic I know, and if I could, we would live stream it. But the location the engine is at has no wifi, and weak cell service. So? I will be covering it and broadcast live-ish tomorrow. Or will I? thats a teaser. I know. HEY you do this everyday.

Ready this AM

Bilge Rats in Vintage Black

And natural White

And a new color for the railway T – I will be bringing these for sale, but I get it if they are not big sellers, they are for the railway. We also are bringing George Butler as well. So you can ask him to autograph them.

New colors
Ya gotta make Lemonade from time to time. Okay weekly… daily… Anyway, T-shirts are in and ready, and I am building the display sign. Wirring up lights on B, and once the engine runs? and is in.. Finish it up. WATER TEST, it’s supposed to be in the 80’s here this week? So I suppose the sweat pants I have worn all winter might actually make me sweat. 19 Days ish.

Building a sign board to explain the Woody Floater Challenge








You are the man! I love it! It would be nice to get a midday update on the engine running. Just think of the clicks!
How can you be working on a display board before an engine start?!!!
Black Bilge Rat shirt is the way to go.
Along with that 80 degree weather comes possible hail, 60 mph winds and sometimes tornados. Gotta take the good with the bad. Good luck with the engine test.
You may be 19 days out, but we arrive in Tavares in 6! YAHOO!!!
Fortunately all I have to do is pack a bag and catch a plane.
See you there.
Troy, you OK? Did you fall and hit your head? Why are you sending a pix of some dude? Yes confirm 19 days for arrival. Matt, is there going to be a WB MeetUp somewhere? I would like to shake a few hands!

correct me if I’m wrong but did Matt just set a new standard for the quality of a display board?
