Good Afternoon 
It won't be too much longer than we here in Illinois, will begin feeling the effects of the current Hurricane. The one thing I do not miss, living here, in the "middle of the country", is the violence of a hurricane. I had enough of that growing up on the South Shore of Long Island.
Yeah there is the occasional tornado... knock on wood... not here......yet, and we do get some "interesting" Thunder Storms.
It's a good day for staying inside, and, maybe, getting some more work done on the Tern. I stopped by Ron's Hobbies, in Mundelein, Il. and picked up some dry transfer lettering. I have a feeling that by this evening, the "Tern" will be lettered as, and become, "Grace Bailey".
As I have mentioned before, the schooner whose lines I used for this build, was originally named that.
She'll be on display on my modules, Nov. 14,15, at Trainfest in Milwaukee. With the hull and deck done, she can be afloat again and undergoing "re-fitting", at the Seaport Village and Museum.
( That's my story.....and I'm sticking to it )

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
