Thank you kindly. I really can’t wait to get back to the club to work on the layout. Really miss the camaderie the members have. Some really good friendships amongst the club. I miss giving Locobudd aka Bud the BS each week on how it takes him so long to drive a screw into a piece of wood! Lol!
That seems to be one of the best thing about belonging to a train club (or any club), and that is being able give each other grief and otherwise tweak them *lol*. I got to talking to the members of a huge HO club in Union when they had an open house, about their huge expansion that was started about 20 years ago and still is only about 30% done, and the members all blamed the primary track guy (who was present I might add), saying that he learned to hand lay track from the sloth in Zootopia, that he puts a micrometer on each track spike to make sure it is exactly scale and rejects half the spikes, that he was once part of a massive study in he when he takes stimulants works slower, etc, and the target had a big smile on his face.
May we all soon be able to be abused like that again
