Back when I used to put up Christmas decorations I frequently left them up all year. The hell with what the neighbors think. If they have a problem with it they can go soak their heads.

I hear you there. No kids of my own but a niece and nephew and a grand nephew are about the same for me.

Hi everyone! Wow, it's great to see so many faces, old and new, in here...even ERIC. Flo really needs this business and I hope we can keep her in those fine short skirts. With it cool and rainy down here, a hot roast beef sandwich followed by some coconut cream pie sounds great.
Modeling continues forward and I've been busy putting together some Branchline Blueprint cars. Dang, those grabs and stirrups are tiny. I need to do some major scenery work, but haven't found the courage to make the mess...soon...I hope.
Cory: you're not too early with the decorations. We usually put our home decs up shortly after Thanksgiving. It doesn't seem to help my Christmas spirit though, but I guess that has a lot to do with age and not having any little ones around.
Chris: haven't heard much from you lately. I hope your divorce proceeding are doing better than my BIL's; his X is trying to nail him to the wall. In Alabama, you can't legally date until there is a legal separation and he did. So now, she is trying to get him for adultery. However, she doesn't know he has a box full of surprises to use, including her making death threats on Facebook and that he has a right to half of their net assets. All he wanted was a clean break, nothing else, and look at it now. Nasty stuff, these divorces.
Mikey: listening and watching paint dry is very good therapy. You must keep your mind on it though, as a wandering mind can get you in trouble.

You know, it is strange, but true. I guess common ground does go a long way.....It may seem strange, but one of the best things about this forum is that even though most of us have never met, our common groud in the hobby has made bretheren of us all.

Hey I was just strolling by and looked thru the window. Saw Bill's new, er.. ah talent, yeah that's it, talent and decided to duck in for a visit.

All new now!
Those girls certainly look talented!
I have to say, watching paint dry yesterday was much better for my blood pressure than watching the Vikings pretend to be a professional football team.

Maybe I could! I'm 6' 2" and 210 pounds. Those are certainly elf proportions!
Wandering hands can get you into more trouble, maybe even slapped...

Good Afternoon all,
Seems like everyone is doing pretty well, Jim and Jeffery have their problems but I'm sure things will work out.
As far as my analagy of a persons mind being somewhat disorganized after being in a coma I should have explained that various things can perfectly clear with full rememberance of prior events and things but other portions can be pretty disorganized due to the brain trama. So the mail sorting bin example was to some extent more than what may have happened from our outward standpoint but to the individual that can be pretty much what it feels/seems like. Another possible way to preceive it is like dumping
out a bunch of pieces of a Jig-saw-puzzel and trying to find the pieces that fit to form a complete coheareant picture. That often takes longer than a person likes and can be very frustrating too. It was for me.
Yes, Christmas time is once again rolling around but first Thanksgiving and we all need to count our blessings.
Speaking of odd things happening, does anybody else know whatever happen to Shawn Meyers from this site? He was somewhat of another Macolm Furlow in his railroad building techniques and he and I had been communicating quite often and then all of a sudden everything stopped?
Take care all.
Ps: If anybody comes acrosss a small old time, Model T etc. rail inspection car that is powered I'd be very interested in where you found it at?
