Weds AM.     I bought that 1980 Chrysler LeBaron Town and Country station wagon last night!   YAY!   

And tonight is another new episode of LOST on TV.   

Does life get any better?

Wednesday am. 46 degrees in Maine. They said it would be pouring rain today, but so far it is clear.

A good looking man just appeared in my backyard. I love it when good looking guys just appear...but it is probably just as well that I was NOT in the outdoor shower (where I was 10 minutes ago! LOL). Who is this good looking man? The propane delivery guy, of course!

Yeehaw! David, it looks like you buy cars the way I buy model trains. At least my collection doesn't take up as much space.

LOL!  Indeed Jeff!   

I used to be into model railroading.    I had a Lionel set as a kid.  Then switched to HO scale so I could have more trains in less space.   Then even switched to N scale to really have a small town on a 16' x 4' board.      but once I got my drivers license the trains were put away.     I eventually gave them away to an older guy in my car club who was still into trains.    His whole attic in his house was one giant HO railroad.

So I guess when we're young we want our toys to get progressively bigger.  ( not unlike centain parts of our men!  LOL )      Then as we get much older we want the toys of our youth again!

But you are right.    Cars take up WAY too much space.    It is a pain moving them around so i can use them all occassionally.    I'm going to sell my 1980 Dodge so I can keep the two 1980 LeBarons.   The new PT cruiser will stay of course.   Maybe the PT is my "downsized" toy?   Does that mean I'm getting older?     <no replies please!>

I woke up to thunder and lightning and pouring rain but mild temps. Still, the thought of getting electrocuted in my outdoor shower kept me in today. Sigh...

Dreary weather and I didn't sleep well. I need to find something to get me motivated today.

Maybe the thunder and lightning that went through here about 10:15 p.m. Wednesday?

Makes sense, David, though in my case I still want trains. I just want MORE of them!       

Of course, in my case, I don't have any place to park a motor vehicle, so. ...

Plus a model train is the only way I'll get to drive a steam locomotive.

All this model train talk gives me the opportunity, yet again, to quote one of my all time favorite movie lines:

Jennifer Coolidge as Amber Cole, in "A Mighty Wind"

"Thank God for the model trains, you know? If they didn't have the model trains they wouldn't have gotten the idea for the big trains."

This line cracks me up, every single time.
