Thinking of how you can get more layout space by better organization.I have some thoughts for trains for the shelf conveniently at 52” to match the main deck of the layout.
That is a true model railroader!

Good morning, y'all. I'm Len, 78 and live (for about 3 more weeks) in East Texas. I've been reading through the Coffee Shop threads for several months now and I see there's a bunch of good folks with some common interests here. It also seems like a pretty close knit group so I will tread lightly. I've been sort of an on-and-off model railroader for many years. I started the Pine Flat diorama several months ago only to have to pack it all up and get ready for our move to Cheyenne at the end of the month. I'm really hoping this will be the last move for us...
Anyway, with your permissions, I would like to join the group for coffee from time to time. Thanks and a good day to all.
As a coach I harped on the little things. Doing the little things makes an average team good and a good team great.It’s the little things
Don't worry, if you step on a few toes all you need to do is say "pardon me" This is a talented group of modelers (excluding me) more important these are great people.It also seems like a pretty close knit group so I will tread lightly.
We use similar storage bins and have kind of color coded them. Most of the Christmas ones are green or red or mixed breed/red. The Halloween / Fall decor are mostly in orange and black bins. We don’t have them numbered and specific locations for each one.For my storage it’s easy, the colors match the season. In Verona, Wi. USA our recycling bins are blue, garbage is an ugly brown
They let me in so I’m sure you’ll be welcome.Anyway, with your permissions, I would like to join the group for coffee from time to time. Thanks and a good day to all.
Well howdy there internet peeps and new guy Len!
It's Troy again, and I have a conundrum...
On the left, a bottle I purchased. On the right, a gift from the daughter's boyfriend (technically both of them). But he picked it up at the store.
So, if it were you, would you wipe off the mouth of the bottle and give it a pour? Or pour it down the drain? I HATE to dump it, but I don't have an enemy nearby to give it a taste test.
Troy, my rule is, if it's opened and I didn't open it, it gets dumped--no matter what it is or how expen$ive. No matter if it's a 2 liter of diet soda or a bottle of hundred year old single malt scotch. I've tossed a fair amount of stuff over the years.Well howdy there internet peeps and new guy Len!

Looks like a darn good gift. Single Barrel, 115 proof Rye!
But, it came as you see it. I asked if they'd opened it and had a swig? I expected to hear, year, "I just had to give a pour...."
NOPE! "That's the way it came"
Looked like someone at the Liquor store assumed the boyfriend was the one who sampled it and sold it like that (Hint: look at the top of the bottles. Left is unopened).
We agreed that taking it back to the liquor store would be futile. They were just happed to see a bottle someone had opened, swigged, and put back on the shelf walk out the door.
So, if it were you, would you wipe off the mouth of the bottle and give it a pour? Or pour it down the drain? I HATE to dump it, but I don't have an enemy nearby to give it a taste test.
If it came from the liquor store like that then I would take it back. I know they can get credit from the liquor distributor. I once worked at a liquor store. This is where my wife would say "where didn't you work?"We agreed that taking it back to the liquor store would be futile.
I had never noticed.I tend to be a little more paranoid than most.

Have a friend dump it and it won’t hurt as bad. And don’t even watch!Well howdy there internet peeps and new guy Len!

Is it still paranoia if they really are out to get you?I had never noticed.
Pictou NS has "simple" system. Black bag for garbage. (Complication if more than one, the extra bags must be clear!)All these coloured bins seem a nightmare.
Here we have a blue bin for recycles and a green one for items that are not.
If Dawn had her way everything would go in one bin.
