Morning all!  Got some good train running time this weekend with the boy.  Picked up an IC car carrier last week from Da Bay which he is really enjoying – his Hot Wheels fit perfectly in the racks!

Last week did a lot of post-move organizing in the basement which resulted in quite a bit more usable space.  Hooked up an old TV in the train area so now the area is becoming a bit of a rec space that’s comfortable to hang out in.  At the end, the wife said she’d like to learn more about trains since Noah and I are spending so much time in the basement together - pretty cool!  Of course her first suggestion was to completely rebuild the layout...

Mornin' boys.  Partly sunny & 47 in the Mid-Atlantic region.  S'posed to get warmer with rain.  Hopefully nature will wash away all the road salt.  I was given a reprieve, no boy today.  Wifey handed me a list of honeydoos.  When it's time to paint, hopefully I can find someone to help that says he does a pretty good job and is only a 45 minute drive away....

Princess called to say she missed me and said that she and the BF want to move back, so, I'll have to step up the house hunting....she's on day 6 of a 7 day work week...I'm just starting my 6 day week.

New access point seems to be working, so maybe I can cut back on my data plan.

Yup.  I just realized that a new pot was in order as I was catching up on the January pot - after I had already posted.
