    Any model railroading folks out there? :)

    ... "I am" is the shortest sentence in English. Is 'I do' the longest?

    Funny you should mention that. When I moved into the complex in Sun City Center, FL
    I saw that there was a room dedicated to model railroading. Every time I went by, the
    room was locked and unoccupied. Finally, my wife and I saw that there were members
    inside so we talked with them for quite a while.

    Even though I really looked forward to joining, I felt that I might get bored with it and
    never joined.

    Years ago, when my son was in his early teens, he and I would travel to the model
    railroading stores to purchase various items that I could use to build a table complete
    with lights, track, buildings, etc. It was a great time for both of us because it was
    something that kept us both occupied.

    It took about 2 years to complete since we were doing it in our spare time. Finally it
    was complete. We watched as the train went around the track over and over again. We
    both looked at each other after a while and said that the real fun was spending the time
    to build it, but using it was a bit boring.

    I hope this doesn't dissuade you. We did have a great 2 years planning and buildng it.

    I know what you mean there's a club nearby here that I've talked to about joining a few times but never really made it to any of their meetings. I started working on a layout here for a while but I tend to go from one hobby to another so its been collecting dust for a while now. Been thinking about getting back out there and working on it some!

    ... There will be a rain dance Friday night, weather permitting!

    I spent a few months working on my layout and then tore it all out and started over after realizing my curves were too sharp for a lot of my equipment. I'm still not 100% happy with it so ifI get back out there I might start over again! :)

    ... There is an exception to every rule, except this one.

    My wife still owns a Canon AE1 but sadly doesn't use it anymore. We thought about
    donating it to a photography school, but never got around to it. She took some beautiful
    pix with it including sunsets.

    I always had birthday and Christmas gifts that I could give her. I would purchase
    various filters and lenses from local pawn shops. Made her very happy!

    It's just so much more convenient to use the cell phones now.

    That's why I loved my camcorder. It had most of the settings of my Cannon Rebel, but didn't need developing.... One cool effect is setting the lens to be open for a minute, then take a picture of the stars.
