There is somehing about running my layout that makes me want to...

Yes William,

The same goes, only its Rum & Coke for me!

Like you say shut off the phones, I even shut off the doorbell!

Being on 24hr call well just don’t like phones my layout is in a basement with no windows its one of the few times I can forget about my cares if even for a little time. 

   Having said that I find when I am working on the layout, I have no time to drink, it’s a nice balance for me.

Yep, a little Captain, or Jack, or Jim B for that matter

Merlot por moi.

Yep, Coors Light and running trains.  Hoprfully tonight the new train room will be done and it be Coors Light and pondering the new layout.  Wifes going to Florida to see her parents for two weeks over Thanksgiving, so, I'll have a nice long uninterupted 4 day weekend to start the new lay out with no disruptions!

I'm sorry that y'all have mistaken coors light for Beer. 

I'm reminded of the BC comic strip where the cave man bellies up to the rock bar and says, "I'll have an alcohol-free beer."

Bartender says, "Why?"

Pete: at the rate I drink, I'm left with little choice......

Open a bottle of Pinot Noir with my friends and wonder what I should work on next

Open a Ranger IPA with my friends and wonder what I should work on next

Me, too.

Though I drank enough booze as a very young man to last an entire lifetime, an ice cold bottle of Bud continues to be a treat for me. Now that I have been diagnosed with a bit of a enlarged heart, drinking is discouraged.

So, its a super treat for me when I get to run my little coal yard switching layout, and twist off that bottle cap.

Yes, a beer is good friend when running trains. But I do prefer a beer with a taste

A Modus Hoperandi from Ska Brewing co Durango CO (A railroad town) is a great brew.

Beware of the Ska music on their homepage tough.

Otherwise a Sierra Nevada Torpedo is always nice. Or some of the beers that I brew myself, but they are not available in the US

Send some Swedish beer to Chicago and I'll put down my Coors light for an evening.  But, I'll never put down my Cab1.  I just looked up how to say cheers in 50 languages and learned enough that I will raise a glass and say SKAL (with an umlaut and pronounced skawl) to you.  Have a great weekend all you O Gauge nuts.  SKAL! 

Haven't you guys heard of Rule G?

Skål it is! What ever you drink.
