Actually, some of the old action is missing:
Scrapple : eat or gag
Why can't we have both?
You can... when you are eating it, and then someone tells you what it's made out of.
My only complaint with the Yellow Hall was how it was odd-shaped in terms of the aisles under the grandstands... made it an interesting pattern to walk to make sure you didn't miss any tables.
I had forgotten where C Ro was also. I recall NST and Joe Grzyboski both crammed into one of those little alcoves on the side closest to what is now the parking lot between Orange and Yellow. TrainWorld/Land and Loco Louie at the end (towards Gold hall) on the grandstand side of the building. Used to buy all the Big Mo offerings from Harry Turner just inside the door closest to Purple (he had a single table right next to MTH).

One Month to go.

Yay!
Saturday is April fools day. I don't know what the weather is in York, but we here in Portland, Maine are getting 8-10" of snow on Saturday. I hope the weather man is just making an April fools joke.
April 1st in York, Pa.: Cloudy, 54 degrees.
Temperatures in the mid 60's by mid month, but it will be a rainy period.
Sheraton 4 Points is great! I always stay there and really enjoy.

Nice place. I got a good rate a few years ago when they were renovating.
Currently listed at $170 per night. 
Heritage Hills only $406 per night. Call now, operators are standing by!
Ready!

I don't know, maybe since life has just been so hectic lately, but I'm looking forward to this more than ever this year. 
I am sooooo looking forward to this! I can't wait until I drive across the Susquehanna River and enter "The Vortex of Fantasy"!!

Be careful! In 2005 I got a $85. ticket for speeding before going over that bridge.

Don't worry Joe! I'll be there early enough that I just cruise in and take it alllll in, maaaan!
Time always seems to go slower the closer we get to York beginning!

2 weeks and a day to go.
Yippee!!
I'm happy to just get out of this state for a week. If I were in my twenties and single I would move to Pennsylvania. Mainly Gettysburg or Strasburg.
Why don't you stay overnite rather then to get up at 3am?

We are! We are leaving Wednesday morning
Railway Hotel looks like a good place if you're really board. 
OK I understand, 3am Wed, morning from Mi.
Quite a few make the journey from Michigan. Jdaddy is just one group, I am in another foursome. We leave Tuesday morning using Wednesday as a tourist day. Maybe DC this year. It's not written in stone yet.

Our badges arrived yesterday!!
It's almost here, 3 days till the BIG week.
Don't rush it, I'm still getting ready! 
My wife asked what time I'm leaving this morning. Same time as always for work day. York is next week!
Hope I didn't ruin her plans.

Ha... that is funny... cause the wife already threatened to have a new kitchen installed, and my reply was " Than I should leave Monday morning and return the following week! "
And not to hurt her feelings but I am sure she would agree the cleanest part of our house is our stove. Inside and out.
Actually looking forward to York , it's been a rough few months and I'm looking to get away from the daily grind and hangout with great train friends !!!!

It will be two years ago this coming October that my (now) boss demanded that I be back @ our facility in Richmond, VA "in 15 minutes". He was not the least bit pleased when I informed him that I might be able to get to my car in 15 minutes. By the time I got back, the crisis was over. I haven't heard the end of it since. Nor have I had the opportunity to return to York.
Am I looking forward to York? You bet your bippie!. Only this time I'll be pulling the battery out of my cell phone as soon as I park my car. Boss doesn't like it? Tough! I retire 3/1/18.
Gilly !!!!! See you in the Orange Hall !!

+ 1. Funny, I practically said the same thing to my wife in conversation last night. I'm blessed she supports me in my hobby even though it holds no real interest for her. I suppose I do the same thing by never saying a peep when she comes home with stuff from her favorite department stores. 
Everyone drive safe!
Regards,
Greg
I've started packing. We're going to get there Tuesday and leave Sunday. You can find me in the Orange Hall across from the LCCA.
End of countdown.
You're confused, that's for when you're coming home!
York or Bust.....
Safe travels, everyone....see you all later this week.

Pretty sure I passed Eddie on the NJ Tpke this afternoon! (that or some other person that looked very much like his avatar with Maine plates that had TCA on them! )
Happy Travels!
