DEANO!!!! Welcome Back Buddy!!!

[UP SD40-2]

WHOLLY SMOKES!

THANKS SO MUCH FOLKS! :mrgreen:

Cripes, i didnt even know this thread existed till Mikey mentioned it to me, guess i should go to more sections of this forum then the Shutterbug and US Rails areas .

Yes, i AM BACK! :mrgreen:

My absence started out with problems at work, like keeping the company alive, but then stress, and depression led to me getting fed up with things(like not being able to expand my layout, RR wise that is) , then i just slap got burned out from it all...but i'm doing Much better now! Honestly things havent really got any better, but i have taken time to better think things out and start getting my head back together again, one day at a time folks, one day at a time.

The biggest majority of me comming back goes solely to two friends of mine that no matter what just continued to stay in touch with me, thats Wayne and Steve , so MUCH credit goes out to them...though they were pretty much the only two that knew how to really get in touch with me anyways . (NOT to slight ANY of the MANY friends i have here, Thanks folks! )

For those of you that might have been hoping i did not come back, please send all complaints to:
C/O Wayne and Steve, Those Darn Guys
PO BOX 001
who cares street, USA
(JUST A JOKE FOLKS)

Seriously though, I have been so fortunate to have made so many good friends here, it feels Great to be back! , THANK YOU folks so much for the very warm welcome back, really, Thanks!

You folks looked like you needed a good dose of UP & Wisconsin Southern anyways, i think i can help quench that thirst . i havent been rail fanning since i left, but just last week got a line on the time schedule UP runs through Clinton Wi, thats right between where i am and Janesville.

I have tore down my small switching layout, but have continued working on dads big layout when i go there on Saturdays, in fact, i have most of my favorite engines and cars there, so they have still been used. i have continued to weather my engines and build freight car kits, so i never really totally got out of trains in my absence. Hopefully work will become more stable and i will be able to leave the apartment i'm living in, and be able to build a decent layout again, my fingers are crossed.

Well, i think i have pretty much got you folks up to date.

Please give me some time to navigate the forums, i'll be here nightly, but only for an hour or two a night, so it might take me a bit to find everyones threads.

Thanks again!
