New fishing boat

Last week shopping with the wife we went into “Ross’s”. She wanted to see what they had in the LaJolla store since that is the “ritzy” part of town. Same old junk, but I did find a boat for $14.99.

I figure after a little weather proofing, some spar varnish to make it water tight, and some lead in the keel to keep it upright, it should make for a nice addition to the Koi pond.[4:-)]

Speaking of which here is a shot of the extension of the tunnel at the falls. Notice the new flat rock shelf, it will become the site of a hotel and a trolley stop (hence the track just sitting there.

Next phase will be to start building the rickety old bridge up to the top of the mountain.[4:-)]

Tom looks nice, just about in scale- almost sort of [;)]

Tunnel looks really nice.

I want to see how that tressal is going to work, whats the trolly look like?

Carosel at Vine Arbor (The white boards are the bench seat in the arbor that holds up the grape vines, hence the name of the little community “Vine Arbor”)

I’ve added a whole bunch more pic’s to my webshots page.

Thats going to be quite a ride. Good luck!
