I finally got the office/guest room tidied up and moved the Total Gym in there. It’s real easy to fold up and roll out of the way if we have to open the hide-a-bed. Yesterday I was tidying up the living room and found I could even put our spare power wheelchair in the office – it’s in front of a bookcase but easily moved, and I can still open the closet door with it there. More good news: I've had this wheelchair on eBay and I think I have a buyer! We've been discussing her making payments rather than come up with the whole price at once and she sounds serious, so cross your fingers.
Anyway, with that done I could set my Lionel back up in the living room which I did last night. Wheee! I picked up a half dozen pieces of track at this local hobby shop that was closing, sad to say. The owner is an older gentleman who was retiring and didn’t want to go to the trouble of selling the shop to someone else; so he just put everything on sale. I dropped by the last day he was open and got some FasTrack at half price. I love hobby shops and it saddened me to see this one go – they’re a lot more scarce now than when I was a kid. Today they have to be pretty big to make a profit. I guess the days of the small neighborhood hobby shop are gone. More and more of them are online now. I know Mary Lynn got my Polar Express at InternetHobbies.com! Oh well, I have a nice dog-bone loop now under the picture window. Sweet!
