55 ,recently retired, new liver, having the time of my life ; getting to play with all the trains I've collected over the last 35 years..something I thought I'd not have the chance to do.... I thought the wife would have to go throught the hastle of selling all my stuff I've collected over the years and get taken in the process.. Older and wiser now I'm making the most of my bonus time.

Rex, I have the forum search down pretty well, mainly because I know what I'm looking for. It's the magazine index that gives me fits.[B)][;)]

Haven't we been here before? 64, but if I flip it, 46. Lately I've been doing a lot of flipping. Got asked for my ID the other day when I bought a 6-pack of Gordon Biersch at my local supermarket. Seems she was kidding, she said. I think I'll marry her, anyway.
