While on a vacation last month, we tried 'biking' a railroad right-of-way, with bikes that runs on the rails.  It was really fun, and a great way to experience the right-of-way and terrain.  Move details & photos on my blog:

So today, I stopped by Reed's Hobby's in La Mesa... the last Model Train shop in San Diego... I've spoken of the shop before... how much I love it... and outside of the shop is a big "For Sale" sign.

It would appear the owner is selling the shop, and the building. They said they have gotten a lot of interest in the building, but none in the shop.

The shop turns a profit, according to the employees (and this is WITHOUT doing any online sells) but the owner wants to retire.

Good evening all,

Saturday, September 22 from noon – 4 pm. Akron Summit-County Public Library’s Main Library – 60 S. High Street, Akron, OH 44326.

There will be a joint Western Reserve Free-mo and Ohio Valley Sipping and Switching Society layout operating in the corridor between Security and the Children's library.

We'd love to see you and chat about this wonderful hobby!

Respectfully,

Tim Moran Akron, OH

I think one of the things I love about this hobby... especially the way i chose to enjoy this hobby, is that there is always something to do.

Take this month for instance.

This month, I'm getting hit with some unexpected bills... plus my keyboard and mouse need to be replaced... and on top of that, my roommate is $300 short on rent, so I have to make that up 9and it might be a month or two before he can get me back)

So I don't have any money to spend on trains this month.
