Hi All!
I'm still kickin'!
Seeing as my "riding season" (dual sport and vintage enduro motorcycles) is nearing, for the past couple weeks or more, my energies and funds are being used within my motorcycling interest. Over the past couple or so weeks, I've got two of my vintage enduro bikes up and running, and have begun the process of servicing the modern dual sport bikes for riding season. (One needed tires, both need oil/filter, and maintenance work.)
This should NOT be misconstrued as losing interest in PW and traditional trains. Nope, just means I only have so much time/energy and hobby funds, and must make choices. During riding season, typically my 51+ year love of riding motorcycles will take the available time (and money if needed) and trains get the leftovers. Once the weather is too hot to be comfortable to me for riding (above mid-80s), then my life-long love of trains gets the available time/energy/funds and the bikes get the leftovers.
'Tis what it 'tis... but I still love talking trains, regardless of whether it's my bike season or train season! 
All fer now.
Andre
