Well, to house more of my jun...er, "stuff", I am buying a piece of land with building down in Crewe, VA, about 50 minutes / miles south of Richmond down Rt. 360. It'll house my old cars and car parts currently being stored at my aunt's farm only 8 miles from there. The building is a double-store front, old and needs work, but has some possibilities. For $18,000, it isn't a bad price for a 30 x 100 store and a 30 x 50 lot out back! Could be used to store a layout if an emergency came up ( wonder what that means? LOL ). Anyway, sold a truck last night, my old Toyota with broken transmission, to some Mexicans. ONe less non-working thing cluttering my house ( and driveway ) now. Sell a few more,I could fit a small caboose in the driveway. :) Wanted to come to the meeting Tuesday, but knew I'd probaby get the truck buyers coming by tonight, so had to stick around ( and cut some grass, overdue, as well ). I'll be out of town this week(end), leaving Thursday for NC, visiting the wife's Dad, he's been in the hosiptal, and also going to the NASCAR Bristol Race Saturday. Should be a busy weekend! No time for trains ( much ), but we ARE planning a visit to a new Hobby Lobby ( Wal-mart sized hobby store ? ) just opened in August down in Danville, VA, closest one to us yet. We were looking at some in NC or TN to visit otherwise. Should be an interesting hobby store, judging by my wife's description of the one in Texas they had. I'll see how good their train selection is. :) Well, that's all for me, time get get ready for work. Jerry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
