The other day I got a call from my LHS. The conversation went something like this:
LHS - "Hi Tom. Just calling to let you know your order came in today."
Me - "Which one?" (I had no clue what he was talking about)
LHS - "The MTH cars you ordered"
Me - " Which ones?" (still no clue)
LHS - "The AC&Y's"
Me - "I thought I picked up the caboose last week?"
LHS- "No. The boxcars."
Me - "The forty footers? Oh! Okay! I was wondering about those" (BS)
LHS - "I've got two of them here with your name on them. You can pick them up when you are in the area."
Me - "Thanks. See you in a couple of weeks."
I don't pre-order that much stuff and am usually aware of any outstanding orders. This one completely slipped by me. I don't know if it is just life getting in the way or I'm getting old. I'm putting my money on the latter. I know there is a locomotive on pre-order, but what else might be out there? This is almost like Christmas!
Tom
