Regaining the spirit

I've returned to the hobby after, some, 20 years... I've been 'round the block and back... Served on the flightline in the service, married, kids, and later an long lasting IT career... ...divorced, weekend warrior dad (2 girls, 11 & 5), and a knee-weakening ambition to get back into the hobby. I'm doin' the apartment-life, yet even with a live-in girlfriend, I've confiscated (legally, to boot) the dining room. Spent a couple weekends designing/building the benchwork, it's all up there... 4X8 in place, capable, with girlfriend's permission, of adding a 3X3 extension (fair 'nuff) I've ordered the track, 10 minutes ago (Atlas RTS kicks butt, very easy considering my background in IT) I've photographed every monumental step of the way, it doesn't get any better than this... I'm Albany, NY area, so D&H is the most nostalgic line in the area, and I've always agreed... I'll post progress as I get them developed.... Everyone's input from the forum (I live on it) has been simply a treasured resource, if I don't learn one thing from y'all, on any given day, it's wasted day... People wonder when it's gonna be done, I say "I don't wanna get off this ride...", I don't want this project to be completed for a couple decades, at least....

Is there any easy way to insert the Atlas RTS diagram, or a converted bitmap or jpeg to the forum, without posting pics through 3rd party hosts? I wanna bounce my layout of y'all...
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
