Well when the weather gets hot I do the majority of my railfanning in the mornings and return to modeling under the A/C in the afternoon.
The only exception to that rule is railfanning under the breezeway at the Marion station.

As far as posting goes, we're doing just fine. Our posting rate is running between 70 to over 100 posts a day. This is no different than we've had over the past year. Some forums have more activity than others, and that changes from day to day, but overall, we are doing every bit as good as we used to over at the old forum, and we're doing it with quite a few less members as well.

I have been pretty frequent with posting. Now the building is in my court, I will probably be on later. I'm taking a few days off from the building because it is pretty cold, and now I'm retired I don't have to work unless I want, and after a trip to the dentist yesterday I don't think I want to.

I was set to start my spare bedroom layout when by brother-in-law offered me his old travel trailer. Now I'm waiting for the snow to clear enough to drag that puppy back home, gut it out and start in...again.

That sounds like it has some great possibilities...Are you keeping it on the wheels. A truly portable layout. Sounds great, and we all want pitcures as you move along.
Good Luck

I wish I would have explored those possibilities before I built the new building... travel trailer full of layout! And if you had to move, the whole layout goes too!

I agree with Charlie, MountainMan. Hopefully, once you get it cleared out, you'll have fewer constrictions than in the room which you were originally planning to use.

Yes, I am a redneck, because I am keeping the wheels! We rent the place we are in now, having lost our home of 14 years. I would have preferred to remain in the house, but the probability of moving and having to break up the layout is daunting. Meanwhile, the trailer comes with heat and an air conditioner, so I'll make the best of it.

Well, good to hear from you! And no problem with the lil' rant at the end.
To tell you the truth, work isn't all it is cracked up to be. That's why it is spelled J O B and not F U N. I'm looking forward to the day I can retire!

Would anyone actually want to hear more from me?
I read 3 forums each night: Big Blue, Railway Modelling Web for British, and Shamus's old forum. RMWeb is the most active: there's a limit on the "view active threads" of 200 threads and most days it hits the 200; lately it's been a bit slower.
And every few weeks I go back and look at the former Gauge.

I wouldn't mind. Heck, you're no different than the rest of us. Might as well join in!

Wow, has it been more than two weeks since I last logged on?
Been kind of overworked the past few weeks, and when I do have time to check railway forums, this one isn't my first (sorry!) I have to check TrainBoard first, because it gets more posts than any other I'm on, so if I wait a while, I'll never be able to catch up. Then there's railroad.net, railroadforums.com, railwayforum.net, railfan.net Forum (rarely bother checking that one), Railways of Germany, Japanese Railway Forum, Railpage Australia (though that one's been down for a while), in no particular order. And I've discovered some new interests that are seriously cutting into the time I spend one all of these forums.
Fan of late and early Conrail... also 40s-50s PRR, 70s ATSF, BN and SP, 70s-80s eastern CN, pre-merger-era UP, heavy electric operations in general, dieselized narrow gauge, era 3/4 DB and DR, EFVM and Brazilian railroads in general... too many to list!
