Headed for the library in a few minutes to see about converting another couple of hundred microfilmed drawings to electronic format. I can typically get between 250 and 300 done each session, before I run out of session time and the ability to sit and stare at the monitor and move film reels by fingertip pressure for fine alignment.
 
Woke up too bloody early, 4.30. So I made sure the decal art, HO train car numbers..... were correct! All good.
Watched end of The Open 3rd round. Racked with pain, did too much walking yesterday, went out and got
a couple of CD's of games for my PS4 for when I need a brain dead break.
Will do some more on the most difficult 1/25th scale truck decals yet.............. back and forth trying to get correct scale.
But did get some 1/24 Boulton Paul decals done for a LSP member builder. Working on 1/24th scale Galand A/C decals!!!!!

Otherwise, nothing!
 
Been sorting and renaming drawing files for a few hours today. One of the things I'm doing, is putting a basic material callout in the file name, and then I sort them into directories of the same materials. A directory example is Aluminum Flat Stock... Any part that is fabricated to the point of Alodine or prime that is simply flat stock, goes into that directory. So a part number would be something like: 711046alflatstock.pdf. With things sorted like that, I can then plan material purchases and set up parts for short time shop work, when I only have a half hour or so in the shop.

No material callout means that the part has major fabrication requirements, including bending, machining or welding, besides flat work.
