Good morning all, where the heck is everyone?????? Kinda echoy in here. Me, I'm still busy getting settled, got boxes and boxes marked, "train room" and even more marked "tools-garage". The tools I need to unpack so I can get other stuff done. The train room is going to have to take a back seat for now, although I am anxious to find out what kind of damage has been done to my structures that are in that box that the movers crushed. 
Spent Groundhog Day watching... of course, "Groundhog Day" that night. Funny movie, just lots of inconsistencies. Since everyone else can only remember the last day, a lot of the plot activities would be forgotten by everyone but him. Still, good to watch once a year. Someone on the TV mentioned that they calculated he spent some 8 years, 8 months and a few days repeating the one day, I have no idea how they come to that conclusion.... I'll see if I can find something (when I have time and can remember that is), I'm curious now....
Oh, temps starting to warm up, we were still in the high-50's yesterday, but will be in the mid-70's by the weekend, and into the 80's by next week.
Edit:, just a quick Google and I find that one person figures that he spent, 8 years, 8 months and 16 days there, while another figured close to 34 years. Both figured that he spent all that time learning not only French but how to play the piano, ice sculpturing and all the other things he did. One flaw in their thinking though is that he did each of those things serially. He could have done them at the same time and therefore cut his time down stuck in Groundhog Day to maybe only two or three years. For those of you that haven't seen the movie, he spends the same day over and over and he learns these things as he goes along, trying to win over the girl of his dreams.
