ok folks, if you recall my end of summer post, on getting ready for the holiday train season, please review my check list - and report your progress.

I have completed all points in the checklist except number 10; as I am on week 5 of suffering from Plantar Fasciitis and cannot chase anything.
Stand at your front window, and see how far away you can determine if the truck coming up the street is the USPS, UPS, or Fed Ex....then, as the truck passes your house, run after it, and try to keep up. This will build your speed up, so that you can chase down these trucks on delivery days, in which you just stepped into the restroom for a minute and missed your train delivery...Also, if the driver stops when you do this, give each of them $50 dollars, a wink, and tell them "I would appreciate a heads up for any boxes marked "Lionel, MTH, Williams, etc"....The driver will either wink back and tell you "He has got your back", ask for more money, or call the police on you. )
