8 minutes away for me this time around. Hopefully there won't be an accident like there was tonight on Route 30. It was supposed to take me about 45 minutes from the Toy Train Museum to my hotel, but it took about an hour and about 10 minutes give or take. It didn't look like anyone was hurt in the accident, but it really put traffic at a stand still.

The Toy Train Museum was great. Got to see Jack Lynch, Mike Wolf, and Ryan Kunkle speak about up coming stuff. I think Jack and Ryan spoke about the same time, Mike only spoke about 12 minutes. Seemed that the questions really only went to Mike and Ryan, though Ryan got way more questions. It was not quite what I expected. Maybe someone can explain it all to me tomorrow morning.

Great breakfast again Peter, this time I didn't have to sit at the little kids table, lol. Was great to meet Bryan In Ohio, and find out that there was not just the prison, but the strip club on his layout as well.

I'll be sure to run into everyone else somewhere along my wanderings today/tomorrow, and of course Saturday. Someone tell Alan Arnold not to use up all the maple syrup. There may have to be a new Ameri-Towne Maple Syrup Distributors to be built. What would the building be called, "Sticky's Syrup Warehouse, Maple Syrup Distributors" lol. Just kidding.

Great talking at my table, and great to have Peter come down and do the educational business of knowing the great post-war guessing game. I said it was like listening to my Uncle Dick who can rattle off more things than I would ever even dream of knowing about anything ever produced by Lionel, American Flyer, or otherwise.

Great having b’fast with you Dave, and listening to all the “lore.”

Peter, thanks so much for being the laboring oar to make the breakfast gathering happen.

Now in Silver Hall with coffee waiting for the halls to open on my first York. Taking this opportunity to kiss my $20 bills goodbye since we will be parted in a little while.😋

I'll also stop by the hotel I'm staying at just to verify I have a room before coming back to check-in later in the afternoon.  After the plumbing debacle a few years ago at the La Quinta taking 10 minutes to stop at the hotel on my way to fairgrounds is a price well worth paying.   If problems, I'd much rather make other arrangements before the meet starts versus late in the afternoon before going to Quaker Steak and Lube.

I reserved a room there for next April since I did not make York this time around due to shingles ( not the ones you put on your house)!!

Might go to Allentown on Nov. 11th.

Ted - sorry to hear you had the shingles - hope you heal quickly!  I just booked my room there for next April and October.  Nice hotel and you can walk to the OGR dinner..or better yet---walk "home" 

Peter - thanks again for organizing another breakfast!  I had a blast!

EddieM - I was wondering what happened as I was looking for you before the meet opened.  Figured it was the darn wind.  I hope to see it in April.

I look forward to seeing everyone in April!
