#4. I can put a helix over there.....

#5. Focus on a activity NOT related to modeling trains.....

#6. That old MRC power pack would look great on the wall for the ceiling fan control switch

That's OK, I've been basing my future career decisions, living location, and house floorplans around a warehouse sized layout which I will never be able to afford.

Your brand of insanity might be a nice break from mine.  For many months now I have not been able to drive or walk anywhere without taking hard looks at rock surfaces, bark, tree shapes, the colour of rails, the bluing of distant hills, clouds.

My wife says it is most disconcerting while we are at 60 mph in traffic.   Then she says I never listen to her.

It seems every time I enter a room, I estimate its dimensions using floor or ceiling tiles if possible.  Then I visualize what kind of track plan I could design for the room.  I do this in waiting rooms, restaurants, even church (I prayed for forgiveness), and bathroom stalls!  I must be ill!!!
