Whatever you do don't ask the old question  "What else can happen"?  I guarantee you will have an answer shortly after.

Yep. I think the same thing. I'm always suspicious when I bring my car home from the mechanic ... and immediately have another problem.

Oh yeah, one more thing. During his State of the Union speech Tuesday, President Obama singled out the area I work in for cuts.

Here's something that might cheer you up by comparison. I just had my car in the shop Wednesday for what I thought would be an alignment and new tires -- ended up costing me $1,100. Car started running rough last night so I took it back in. Estimate for more work is $1,400.

I'm TRYING to save money for a new garage that would include some layout space.

  maybe I should not say anything but I just got done with 10 inches of that white stiff, tired of it, and when done i have to take a nap so I can try to do something in the train room. Have a good day all and don't send any more snow this winter .

Not a good start to 2011....
#1....UPS lost shipment from CMT.
#2....Parts and info missing from IMRC loco kit.
#3....Bachmann reports 8 weeks to repair new, under warranty, Climax. Took 12 days from receipt of item to entry into the repair dept.
Only good thing it's not snowing in Katy, TX

Just wait Bill, just wait.  There are still several more months of winter left....Tongue Tied

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!

Count your blessings.  I had to take a half-day's vacation yesterday because I couldn't get out of my driveway here in the Northeast.  So, I mortared a brick wall for a DPM kit until the plow came.

I wish I was in your shoes. We haven't been getting much snow here in the midwest, but when it does it's $$$ in my pocket.
