 Good Morning Everyone,road conditions are pretty bad in my area - any speed above 20 mph meant inviting trouble this morning. Again, more than an hour to drive those 10 miles to the GULAG. Schools are closed until road conditions improve. This is the type of winter I don´t like much - gray, cold and icy.Flo, coffee for me and some hotcakes with maple syrup to go with it.My track plan seems to be the max I can get out of the available space, although it will be challenging to build it. Too many switches, unless I have the chance to handlay them. What I like about it that it incorporates some nice scenic features - the water front bit will be a highlight. I am not yet sure how to disguise the transition to the backdrop and what type of backdrop I should choose - plain blue sky or mountains and trees, to give it a more Alaskan flavor. I should start to take notes on my thoughts in order not to lose them. This could act as a master plan while building the layout. I may even write up the whole concept of this layout - could be worth making an article for MR out of it.Chris - I am happy that things with THAT seem to turn to the better now. Unfortunately, a lot of bosses just recognize what quality their staff has when they are about to lose them. And then, it is so difficult to say "I was wrong". A "sorry" at the right time does not cost much, but yet it is seldom said.Jim - sabre-tooth tigres? I thought they were long extinct - may be we should clone them and have them roam the capital cities - could mean a dramatic improvement in the quality of our overall politics by reducing the number of that strange species called politician.Talking of little critters, there was this interesting thread on details we overlook, but are so quite important to add that flavor to our layouts we want to capture.  Should I venture into N scale, I´ll need to find out how much detail is necessary for that. Barry - oh, no, not again. I thought we had left the catapult at the old location, now it is here again. Was it Todd who sneaked it in? Don´t let Vinnie know - he still has got that good argument against catapults and throwing pies - made by Messrs. Smith & Wesson. A safe and rewarding day to all of you! [angel]  to all in need!
