I suppose my years of fame as a Hollywood matinee idol would put me in the left coast branch.

Oh, waiter! Peel me a grape!

Timbo - we already elected you President and CEO of TITTS...(Texas Idaho Toy Train Operating Society.) We figure that Laz might even show up at one of our grass mowing meetings when it warms up...

In the meantime, I'd be proud to apply for an alternate left coast membership!

[wrmcclellan]

Jim D - Just how alternate is that lifestyle for you?

No grass mowing here - dropped from 81 yesterday evening to 35 this AM!

[laz 57]

JIMBO, LOL!!!!!!
I LOVE those grasscutting sessions in TEXASS.
Can't wait for the season to begin.

I'm here, I think! Still trying to learn how to navigate this forum. I have been a subscriber to Classic Toy Trains Magazine since the premier issue but have not tried to use the forum much. Ray

[dbaker48]

Ray... [#welcome] [#welcome] to the forum. Don't worry about "learning" how to use it. You are already in the advanced class, you have a message posted !

The threads (subjects/topics) on the first few pages are very interesting to monitor, and are quite informative. (Their is some real talent and good advice here too.) Someone has a question or issue, and their is always another person which has experience or expertise in the area. Of course your own judgement must prevail.

Then their is the "coffee pot" that is pretty much a laid back emailing type page. There is a lot of weather reporting going on, and pretty much just a bunch of guys, talking guy stuff, and having a good time.

You do have to watch out for the Yanks and Rebs though. They are continually throwing snow balls and grits at one another, and a WHOLE LOTTA .... BS...... But you work with watch you got, I guess.

Needless to say, of the various sectional areas of this great nation, it is obvious that we are the most fortunate. You will also notice that the responses submitted from those of us on the Left Coast (extended to include all of the Pacific Time Zone), usually submit the most concise, easy to read, and meaningful messages. So welcome aboard, and looking forward to hearing more from you.

[wrmcclellan]

Snow balls vs grits - guess which side gets to keep throwing them in warm weather [:D]

[laz 57]

NO ROY I put my snowballs in the freezer, save em for the summer.

Down south they use Grits on their backroads to help keep the dust down in the Summertime[;)][:P]...Take Care.

[wrmcclellan]

Hmmm LAZ - what's worse? Frozen GRITS or frozen snowballs???

We are blessed here, in that we suffer from neither snowballs nor grits.

[dbaker48]
