I'm excited, isn't that enough?

......I started packing my suitcase yesterday.......how's that for excited?

Peter

I will be heading over on Wed., 10/20. Looking forward to a bit of a break and especially to seeing old friends and supporters of the magazine, and perhaps making some new ones.

I'm going.  First time.

I'm very excited for the Friday. I took the day off and am making a day trip of it.

Well, that's more like it.  Let's get on the train of excitment and hear of packing (OGR Wear of course), planning & other fun stuff.  Looking forward to movie night, Peter's breakfast, the welcome reception & am I missing dinner at the Quaker Steak & Lube?  Looking for lights, people & vehicles.  Hopefully an engine or neat cars don't grab me from the aisle.  Has it been been 1 1/2 years already?

So which colored badge do I need to get in? I still have the one from the first October they canceled due to Covid.....

Also, I now live less than an hour away from York instead of nearly a 3 1/2 hour drive one way.

Are we there yet!!!

I'll be there Wednesday as well. Debating my usual popping over to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. I like going there. Always find it calming, interesting, and among the steamers. Just makes me feel good. Yeah there's diesels and electrics there, I know, I know. Just something about it.

I have to figure out what time to leave, have to pack, all that yet. First though this weekend car is getting an oil change.

Yeah, dinner at Quaker Steak is on. Alan popped a topic over there somewhere around here.

I'm plenty excited!

COME ON OGR UNIVERSE!!  THE YORK MEET IS DAYS AWAY!!!

LET'S

GET

LOOOUUUUD !!!!!

Last thought of the night.

First thought of the day.

Now, where is my badge?

What ever happened to "ED""""""(I believe!) He was the official day barometer at one time. HOPE all is well.

5 more work days until my York trip.   Tue, Wed, Thursday this week.   Next week just Monday and Tuesday nights.   I'm leaving at 11pm on the 20th for the 8 to 9 hour drive to Toy Train paradise!   

Gotta be honest, I thought I'd be more excited.  Could be the pile of work I have to do and the backlog I'll have when I get back.

I can't wait. Between life in general and how crazy work has been lately, I need this time with my hobby and friends.

Who's not excited? It's been two years!

Pat

I'm excited!

Leaving this Friday morning headed to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum for their 60th Anniversary Photo-shoot Friday night and riding the train Saturday, then heading north to Work in Virginia on Monday, then arriving in York Tuesday.
