I'M GETTING OLD | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Whenever I am feeling old I will think of the time that I had just finished changing a tire on a neighbors car, and as I stood up, stretched and grunted,

I said 'I'm getting old'.

He quickly added some perspective and simply said,

"You have NO idea"

Getting old? I'd really rather not.

So, I try to avoid it. I am eating more sensibly, no pork of any kind; no dairy; lots of veggies and fruit; cereals, after decades of self-indulgence in goodies, like ice cream, hotdogs, and pizza; yet, I just do not find myself able to leap up from a squatting or kneeling position like I did some years ago. And crawling adventures under the layout are avoided. So, a lot of my layout work is done standing up, as you can see here. (I'm the antique in the shot.) Sheesh! What a gyp. But not really. I'm going to just rock-onward and forward, or is that play-on, playing with trains, and enjoying all my friends and relatives and toys, and taking excursions in nice new personal vehicles and running trains for friends,) AND enjoying OGR!

Anyone else have a tail to tell?
I'm pretty sure that I don't want to know anything about anybody else's tail.

How 'bout a few tales, though?
