It has been an absolutly crazy few months...
Last time I was here was August, oh so very long ago, and I gotta tell ya boys and girls, I see why model railroaders do not blog very often. We as a group tend to have a one track mind. However, we never know what track it will be on that day. I personally think "oh I will have so much time to write about my experiences and communicate with the world!" Then suddenly my train is on a completly different track, one that takes me far away from my intended destination. In the case of the past several months, I have been on the work late track, paint the house track, go to relative's homes track, just a whole interchange of tracks. Finally one has led me back here.
August and September I was met with a huge deadline at work, one that actually could determine not only my continuance but also the ability for the company to make money this year. Fortunately my company pulled together and we got through it (and even made some money!). Then at the end of September, a friend from my old train club while I was in college invited me to come run at their open house in October. I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw that! But, I was in the middle of working on all of my locomotives, so I had to focus on getting something done to be able to run. That was the most concentrated month of modeling I have ever experienced. I even brought little figures to work to paint on my lunch break. November was fraught with family visits and fun back pain due to a pulled ligament. So that turned into a "decompress from everything" month. Now I am working on getting my house ready for family to stay for Christmas. Nothing says fun like weekends spent painting and walls and rearranging furniture...
But I digress.
I will be back as soon as the dispatcher of life grants me the warrant to do so, and hopefully soon. I have a lot I want to talk about, pictures to share, and experiences to convey. Like you've read, a lot has happened. For now, take care and enjoy life everyone!
