[Splicer]

I just wanted to say how great the place looks! Much different than I remmeber but yet very much the same...LOTS of new names but I am overjoyed seeing many familiar names still posting...
Well things have changed for me and the short and sweet story is that I am no longer working in cable TV...I injured my shoulder and have been on workmans comp the past year +...Got another job...Not nearly as lucritive as cable was but it is still a kind of cool job...Now I work for an amusment park in the technical services department...Going to work in the electrical department here shortly for the winter...Considered a seasonal employee, I am not full time so pay is not where it needs to be...Things are VERY VERY tight here as I am sure many of you must be tightening your belts lately seeing what the economy is doing lately...

Anywho that is the short version but should pretty well explain the overall situation...It is nice to come here...I still miss my layout and am asked about it (if I bring it up ) alot...A guy I work with is into trains...mainly 'O' but also a 'G' setup under the 'O' setup...I am working on getting him to go outside...

Splicer;

Good to see you on these boards again. I don't post as much as I used to, since the anal-retentive IT department where I work says "Das ist Verboten!"

No layout for me at the present either. There will be some track under our Christmas tree - If we ever get it decorated, that is.

Yours,
David Meashey
