Well after 6 months spent in the Gulf of Mexico cleaning up BP’s little indecent, my life has returned to normal. Just in time for the snow and ice to show up. Can’t wait to get back into our train room and start building again. Hopefully that upgrade to DCC will happen on Dec 26 as I know what Santa was asked for. Been at sea the last 2 weeks reading mags and salivating over tons of ideas. I used to dislike winter, now I have a reason to stay indoors and like it. My son has picked out a few models to build, so here’s to a long, cold, dark winter.
Welcome back ashore. From this distance that looked like a mess. Hope it provided yu with some “train spending money.” BP seems to make enough money, glad somebody will be putting some of it to fun use.
Hope Santa heard your wish list.
From the sound of our weather forcast, this week may be winter, but I’ll be spending my time moving snow, not playing trains. By the time I’ve done much of that at 10 degrees, I doubt I’ll have a lot of energy left to play trains. Maybe next week.
Have fun,
“so here’s to a long, cold, dark winter.”
It looks like you’re getting your wish… [:)]
Strange but, I seem to do more mrring in the summer. When it’s this cold I don’t want to even walk out to the heated trainroom, 'course its been colder and windier than usual here lately.

Trains usually get put on hold during the summer. To many things to do outside (Golf!) I can understand the heated outdoor building. Luckily mine is in the house in a spare bedroom. Made plenty of money in the gulf. Unfortunately, Uncle Sam go the vast majority of it as I owed taxes from last year. What was left went to creditors as I was out of work 6 months before that with an injury. Personally, the windfall came at a really good time. Still, made some overtime on this tour and I got my eyes set on a few goodies. Just waiting to see what is in Santa’s bag before I get them.
What snow we get in NC, we don’t have to shovel. You ain’t going anywhere, cause everything is closed. We don’t have salt or plows, and the snow will be gone tomorrow.
