Ok, I made to the gulf coast in one piece. I'll be down here for an Air Force school for a couple weeks. Damn the AF has some pretty nice billeting! Coffee maker, microwave, fridge, cable. This is gonna be tough. 
The best part is that after this, I'll have some serious coin for my first brass engine. Tramp's got me talked into it, so I'm gonna take the plunge.

Hey, back at you, good lookin'!! I thought I felt an energy in the air this way as well!! Yep, I'm talking the real brass engine locomotive. Tramp, was just the trigger to a desire that i've had all along to purchase one. I have my eye on one of two from 3rd Rail, so depending on what's in stock, when I return. Of course there's always the possibility I could be abducted by aliens, and then it would'nt really matter much. I honestly think they would return me, though. Are you playing the guitar tonight?
Daisss, thanks for your concern. The room does have an iron and ironing board, so I'm going to crack open my loaf of Sunbeam and try an experiment. If you don't hear from me, I did it my way.

Jim, I'm hoping Muphey's Law does'nt get wind of this!!! We'll see.
Take it away for me, Frank........
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I’ll say it clear,
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain.
I’ve lived a life that’s full.
I’ve traveled each and ev’ry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, I’ve had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.
I’ve had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

Jon:
Went to Greenberg train show at Ft. Washington today and walked around for 2 hours. First train show for quite a while. Only thing I bought was a 2005 Lionel catalog for a buck. Not a bad price...By the way, Do you have an aquirum(sp) car? You know a fish car that lights up? I am looking for one but don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it, maybe just a finger. I saw some on e-bay but I think the price of them is going to be sky high. I saw the Penquin car in the catalog and its not too bad. Didn't really see much at the train show...More Ho than anything else plus the prices were way out of line. Everyone is out to make a fast buck. I am looking for that smoke that has different scents to it, Like coffee and I forget what else they have but I didn't see it today.

P. S. I don't like Sinatra, but that song was his best I think of maybe New York, New York.

==========KEEP IT ON THE RIGHT TRACK=======
Safety Update: I would not reccomend using a steam iron to toast bread. The bread will be squished beyond all recognition and it will have the aroma of lemon spray starch.
Further experimentation revealed that using the hair dryer supplied with the room is promising but don't attempt it while the bread is sitting on a paper plate. It will set off the smoke alarm.
