This is my other hobby I pursue in warmer seasons
1946 Ercoupe undergoing restoration.

   The yellow "get to the LHS fast and spend the last of my hobby money mobile" and my trusty copilot, seems he's always "gawking" out the window and mumbling something about finding the "Great Pumpkin"! LOL!
He's not really into model trains, so he stays at the airport year around.

Actually need a new picture taken, these were taken when I was 30 pounds heavier than I am now.

Well I'm not headed for Mars but actually to bed with my sleep mask. Surprisingly after getting use to it my work on the layout increased dramatically.

When things are going wrong I look at this picture.

The forums have meant a lot to me.

Thanks,

Bob

I was watching it last night.  Thought about it, but theres so much training to do.  I'm 28 and by the time I get some good training I would be 35.  I mean some good training.

4th of July week, in my drive way with my other hobby: 80's era Chevy trucks! (that's an '87 V-20 Suburban 4x4, a semi-retired EMS Squad truck.  It's now my POV (i'm a volunteer FF).  It's currently down with a siezed bearing)

Okay, me.  With one of my train-cats.  Wiley.  Gorgeous cat, but DEFINITELY not the brightest light in the harbor, sometimes.  I've always said this photo is of the two of us watching TRAINS AND LOCOMOTIVES on RFD.  It's a lie.  We were watching a production of the opera "Tosca" on PBS, by golly!   He likes Puccini.  I'm lukewarm about it, prefer Richard Strauss.

Myself, my son, and two complete strangers from a railfan trip last year.  This picture was taken by a coworker, who happened to spot us on board as we were pulling into the Rock Island yard at the end of the trip.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

Ok, you asked for it!

Here I am at the beginning of a layout project. 

And here I am demonstrating when I will give up model railroading!

I joined the forum two years ago today; we have already had one "ugly mug" contest in that period of time; I'm not sure whether that prior thread got locked out or just what but it eventually disappeared into the netherworld of page number 99,867. Do we really need another one?
