Good Morning Gang, I am running a little late today, after another sleepless night. I went to bed at my usual time, only to wake up an hour later. Could find any sleep until 5 am and then woke up at 9 am. So I did my Thursday grocery run in a hurry - just to be back in time for the post lady to deliver my order, but no, it has not yet arrived [:'(] Flo, we are somewhere in between breakfast and lunch, so it´ll be just a mug of coffee and a handful of cookies to munch on, please. I did get out my Dremel tool to prepare the track for laying. You need to drill a tiny hole ( 0.9 mm) through the trackbed to nail the sections to the modules. Took me more than an hour to do that, as my left hand is still trembling too much from the series of mini strokes I had last year. I finally ended up holding the track section in a vise and then only using my right hand to drill the holes. Well, it worked, but it reminded me of the bad times I had last year. Johnboy - I can only wholeheartedly agree to what you state. In the last 30 years, I worked my but(t) off and paid taxes like a maniac, only to find out that the allowance we get is only for a very basic life. Each trip has to be well considered, each purchase has to be considered a number of times. With gas running at $ 8.50 at the moment, there is no room for a joy ride. Barry - just to make you jealous - we are having very nice weather, sunny with temps at a hovering 15°C. Considering that your neck of the woods is at 43°2`north and my place is 10° further north, we are happy to feel the effects of the gulf stream (for how long?). That´s all for now - CUL!
