Like a lot of other model railroaders I have a number of locomotives that need to be repacked in new boxes. I have a dozen or so boxes which over the years have been damaged by moisture and water damage. I did buy a couple of paper boxes from the local stationary store but they just look cheap.

Took care of some things this weekend.

I have a confession to make. I like lists. Always have probably always will.

I like to catalogue and I like to plan. I'm one of those sad people who love spreadsheets and I can still remember the thrill I had when I first started writing databases.

Even as a boy I kept them. A list of all the books I had read, started in the back of a large red diary that I still have tucked away in a box somewhere. Throughout the years I have added to this list with every book I have read. It migrated across to journals and then a spreadsheet and now an Access database. There's a large number of Ray Bradbury books on that list, most of which have multiple entries.
