Spent the day slinging rocks for the garden railway relocation. It already has a name and a story; now it just needs to be built.

As I was skimming back through the blog I noticed that I have repeatedly mentioned my new car. I have never followed up, though. I used to be the proud owner of a 2011 VW Sportwagen TDI. It was a great machine. It was fun to drive, had good cargo space, and got excellent fuelContinue reading “2018.11.07 #NaBloPoMo – Civic duty”

Saturday dawned cold and wet for the annual NEREX Snowflake Run. Thirty-six motorcars departed Delta Drive in Concord bound for Lincoln, NH along the New England Southern, Winnipesaukee Scenic, and Hobo Railroads. The rain waxed and waned throughout the day. Temperatures reached a balmy high of 54 degrees. We all reached Lincoln safely before dusk,Continue reading “2018.11.06 #NaBloPoMo”

I spotted this beauty on the way home Sunday afternoon. While it looks wonderful, I don’t imagine it’s very fun at modern highway speeds. It got me thinking about what it would be like to tow with our 1965 GMC though. (Don’t worry hon, just a thought exercise.)

I spent the weekend on the rails with friends. Saturday was wet & windy, but Sunday was much nicer. The motorcar ran well. It was a good end to the season.

The bills are paid, the invoices are mailed, the laundry is drying. Bags are packed, equipment is loaded forContinue reading “Done.”

It’s National Blog Posting Month again! I make no guarantees. If your have followed the blog for a long time, you know that I often undertake challenges and leave them unfinished. Last year I kicked off #NaBloPoMo with a shot of the VW bus. This year Beth decided to make it spooky and hand outContinue reading “2018.11.01 #NaBloPoMo”
Detox and other updates
It’s been over a month since I announced my latest electronic detox on this blog, so an update is very overdue. As before, it did not take very long for me to realize that my goals were too ambitious. While there was not a panicked flight back to my iPhone, my flip-phone adventure only lastedContinue reading “Detox and other updates”
