Boomer's Temporary Bridge Build Log

I am not sure this is a proper build log. It does include a picture but I am not sure a stock photo of a 2X4 counts and there is no picture of an actual chicken womper. Nor is there a video of said bridge in use nor is there a real video of said chicken womper in use. So as of now all is merely theoretical.

Were’s the napkin drawing

Everything is “only temporary”.

Quoted from Rule one. … “Save yourself a lot of frustration, skip the pretext and get on with the womping.” So the temporary bridge log should just be skipped I take it? (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Shot my first chicken today…scared the crap out of everybody in the frozen food section…

I love it. I needed a good laugh today.

As did I.

But I think I know someone, not a chicken, who needs a womping. The only drawback is I don’t believe it adds any common sense to the Wompee.

Here is the temp bridge before the upgrade to a pair of 2X4s.

Here are the new bridges ready for paint and installation:

The full build log can be found on my website in the track section.

You are all on your own for building a chicken womper…

Lou, yes that is usually the challenge. Getting the wompee to understand why the womper is doing the womping

Did you use a .22 or double 00 buck?

Well since the whompee also caused the whomping to happen, the Therapy soothes the Whomper with every stroke!

So, did you weather the temporary bridge? A thing worth doing and all… I guess it could have been sanded and varnished… Maybe some nice stain or flaming pink paint!

Flaming pink paint. Eric may be onto something here. “Boomers puts his hand on his chin and gazes off into the distance imagining how cool pink bridges would look with his green rolling stock and engines.”

Yes, I find it rather cathartic to beat the stuffing out of some thing that really torqued me off. But I confine such beating to inanimate objects (usuaully).

Gee you guys need to go out and split some wood! that will get the devils out of you!

mind you the time for wood splitting is winter so you get warmed twice…plenty warm enough around here today! Just make sure it is next years wood you are splittin…This years should already be drying in the shed!

That is not the point… It’s all about the work(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)

Oh, so digging up the main drain-line to my house, to replace the broken Terracotta pipe, or felling the dead tree in the back yard, or repairing and repainting the porch roof, isn’t work enough? (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)You know, I aint 20 anymore.
