Good Morning All: Tom: Don't think that just because the kids go off to college that they are gone. NO! NO! NO! We have two boys and they shared a bedroom. Stephanie finally made a sewing room out of it and let me have about 1/3 of it, then their was no place for them to return to and they didn't like sleeping on the sofa. When we bought this house (a 4, 1 1/2, 0 - free standing garage), it has two bedrooms, sitting room and the 1/2 bath upstairs. They think that the upstairs is theirs. At first we were going to stay up there if my Mother and her Aunt came to live with us but with her stroke it takes her 5 - 10 min to get up there. She gave me a room for the train and I've got my first layout in the sitting room and we have a bed set up in the third room. Now when the boys come home one's in the bed upstairs and one's in the bed downstairs. They don't come home as much as they used to. When Alex gets laid off and it's going to be awhile (he works construction) he'll come in for a week or two or until another job picks up. Nick doesn't come home as much as he's a beach bum, if he doesn't see the Pacific Ocean at least once a week he gets the shakes. He thought Fla was they way to go until Alex talked him into comming out to Calif. Well yesterday was a good day to run trains, wire, and install Tortoises. I didn't get any of the jobs completed. Still have to get more trains run, the throat wired, and the rest of the Tortises in the yard. Then is time to start work on the second level and the branch line. RUNNING TRAINS TAKES UP A LOT OF TIME. If it weren't for running the trains, I could probably get this layout built in about a year. I've been two years on it now and have the main yard in, the bottom loop, and both staging yards. All of the track so far, is blocked and running DCC. Well so much for my trials and tribulations, I've got to get dressed and go to work. Have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY BOB
