Glad you're ok Carl. That's what you get for not bringing the little guy to the RailBQ! Get back to good dude!

Carl, I'm glad you are OK. We lost too many members recently!

So my week...
Set up a test shoot for the freight car trucks article.
Found out my camera's sensor was filthy.
Spent two days researching how to clean up fool DSLR sensors without bricking the damn thing.
Cleaned said sensor.
Discovered sensor was still dirty.
Spent two days re-cleaning sensor.
Another test shoot
Blew one of my mini-floods that uses some random projector bulbs not available anymore.

American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothing behind

Okay, so you have cut back on the beer... Did they say anything about Polocks and cigarettes?  I mean, a guy's got to have a reason to live, you know!

Glad to hear you have a plan to stick with, now stick with it.  Tim, Bryan and Ed...  Tell me, was it the Corner Stable?

Carl,

I am glad that you're okay and recovering.  The alternative is, well, not preferable.  Sorry to hear about the self-injections twice daily, though.  I don't think I could do that!


Forum,

On a more positive note, while I accomplished zero on the model railroading front, I did become "officially" engaged to my girlfriend this past weekend with the proposal and presentation of an engagement ring.  The big day is in May 2010.


As you can see, I'm not going to be able to afford splurging on model trains for quite some time.  ;D

So what's the rest of her look like?  Inquiring minds want to know!  (Oh, wait!  I still have your camera!)

I hope we're all invited.  We'll hang around in the church basement sizing it up for the Royal Blue line from Philly to Baltimore...

Sounds like wishful thinking, Steve. However, I don't think you'll be so lucky.

Brian


Are y'all trying to turn me into a Conrail Queen?




The storm off the coast meant awesome surfing, so I was on the board all weekend.
I like ducks
