Got skunked fishing.....I have to remind myself on days like this they there is a reason they dont call it "catching". SWMBO is now talking about wanting to buy a boat. Evidently, she likes drowning worms more than I do!

As we were leaving the lake, we got to the end of the access road and who turns into it going the other way,no one but ex #2 (Ken might remember her) Thank God she has never seen my new truck before, or the Go-tee and shades I was wearing. Wife and I had a good chuckle about getting out on the park at the right time!!
Been spending part of the weekend getting stuff organized in the basement in preparation for new benchwork. Yup. I'm finally going to decommission the modules and build a real layout . Part of the benchwork will include a place for a PC for programming and sound file changes. Also a DC test track, disguised as an abandoned spur'. All rolling stock that does not fit my operational scheme will be considered excess and disposed of. (
IBKen, you better come and get those coil cars if you want em!!) Most of the excess will wind up on fleabay or the local auction house. I find that I have 4 Rubbermaid tubs full of unbuilt structure kits, and 3 tubs full of built structures (some by Howard Zane), and that doesn't include the structures on 22 feet of modules!! Time for me to, as they say, poop or get off the pot! I'm becoming a collector (read packrat or hoarder) and not modeling!
Oh, and if anyone needs parts for an Atlas/Roco S2/S4 I just found a stash, motors, cabs, truck parts, handrails. Also some other Atlas Alco parts.
