Howdy all. It's been a while. Don't know if I'll stick around but it's good seeing my friends' posts.

Thanks Wayne.
Have you left the one you left us for?

If you mean my wife, nope. If you mean Facebook, I still post there.
Hi Chip,
Hopefully you're doing well. I am still missing your webside.

Nice to see you back, Chip. Hope you can stick around.

Chip, good to see and hear from you again. It's been way too long. Hope you and your family are doing well. How old his Shane now? 15-16?

Thanks everyone. Just to catch you all up. I am between layouts. I got the benchwork done, I got stalled coming up with the money for track, my wife's art career took off and she needed the space. I prepared a new space and now we are moving to Arizona and now that room has been abandoned to sell the house. Moving to the Cottonwood area outside of Sedona. There is a railroad museum with a layout, but I haven't found a local club.
Anyway, the wife is looking for a new house with my railroad in mind. I'm thinking 20 x 30, hehe.
Paul,
I'll probably start up some form of website when I start my new layout. I still have the old one on ice.
Tom,
Shane is 15, almost 16. I tried to sell his 2-8-0 last year, but he wasn't having any of it. Maybe he will get interested when I build the next layout. He's mostly into video games and wants to make videos about video games. Brakie,You still keeping these foamers in line?
Sedona is a pretty part of AZ, Chip. I love the drive up along 89A. Is Cottonwood artsy like Sedona?
You know you'll eventually have to make the trip down to Tombstone. Given your six-shooter skills, you could probably become a regular for either the Clantons or the Earps. The fellas walking around town in costume are pretty gritty and look the part.
Cottonwood has not quite the views for a lot less the price. My wife has gotten her paintings into a gallery in Sedona and another in Scottsdale--plus she has a sister in Tuscon. I considered selling my competition guns before I left, but I think I will keep them. I think the Clantons are safe however.
Chip, it's been SO-O-O-O-O long since we have heard from you. Good to welcome you back again, please stay in touch, and keep us up to date on your relocation plans. Hopefully, another layout will start growing shortly after the move.

back, SpaceMouse! Have enjoyed your website and your posts in the forums. Best wishes on the move to sunny Arizona (Make sure your house has a swamp cooler...). And is the 20 X 30 the house, or the layout size?
Blessings,

Hi chip
Don't stay.
Don't come back.
Don't post anymore.
Ignore this site.

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
SpaceMouseBrakie,You still keeping these foamers in line?
Trying too but,its a big job..
Need your halp..
Jim and George,
The new layout space is part of the move. Either a basement, a room, or an outbuilding. And yes, 20x30 would be cool. Not that wouldn't settle for 12 x 12.
G-man,
Don't try that reverse shrinkology on me. I've been to the Spock School of Emotional Control. (And I know the shoulder pinch too.)
Hi, Chip. It is good to hear from you again. I figured your work kept you busy because it involved some learning, practice, and then the actual application a few years back, and I expect that it has been a going concern for you since then. I recall you dropped in for a brief 'hi' maybe three years back already.
A move is a very big deal, as you surely know, but it is always a fresh start in so many ways. I hope it works out well for both of you, and your lovely boy...now a teenager? Time flies.
I wish you well, and hope you will soon be a regular here once again.

Larry,
Would that title be Deputy Brakeman, or is this an executive assistant job?
Crandell,
Glad to see you are still here. It seems kinda peaceful. You must be doing a good job of it.
As you read, I'm doing the arm-chair modeling thing now. How's your layout doing? I bet by now you've ripped it up and moved up in the world. So, how many double slips?
Hey Chip!
Good to see the Spacey Mouse back in here... So you're moving to Adrid Zonah huh? Hope it works out wonderfully for you and you get a huge space for a new layout!
Don't forget to show us what you do get and what you make of it!
We have missed you around here!

Wow Ray, there's some nice stuff on the SLOW. You have any wide angle shots so I can get a feel for the entire layout? Last thing I saw was your then-new gazebo.
Glad to see you back here again for the moment at least. I haven't been here as much myself because I just rebuilt my layout, no scenery or structures yet so nothing worth photographing. [I do however sneak an occasional 'old layout' picture onto the "Show Me Something ______" thread.]
