Cold, but not forgetting your gf/wife's birthday cold. We didn't get a lot of snow, but it was all ice yesterday morning. It was easier to walk in the street than on the sidewalk ... except for the traffic, of course.
Colder in the basement where I set my trains up. Nothing fancy. I couldn't find some of the stuff I put away last year. Oh, well.
How was yours.
Good morning, Mrs. N.
Did you get trains from Santa?
Good morning, U
Hey, shouldn’t one of those yellow woo hoos be pink and the other blue? Or one names Unique and the other Beachy?
Happy Birthday
Connie!
Happy Birthday Connie!

Good morning (barely) Kathy. (14)
