Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

We have seen the Patterson family laundry room and that would be a terrible place for model trains. There are giant stacks of clothes in that laundry room.
My brother had a trainset up down in the basement. . .and I mean LL over the basement. One âdateâ (college) came to pick me up, went downstairs with my brother to âlook atâ the train. . .needless to say, not only did we NOT go out that night, but we never went out again. . .
I knew a guy once who had most of his basement devoted to an HO gauge layout, and while I think theyâre neat, I donât need one. I can appreciate the work done by others. For me itâs like a Harley. If I could have gotten a brand new Harley for around $7K, I would have. Iâd like one, but not enough to spend what they cost. And now that Iâm older, with bad knees and a bad back, etc., the odds that I will ever get a new Harley are on a par with the chances some drop dead gorgeous woman will find me attractive and run off with her. Iâm not rich enough for that, either. And Iâm grumpy, so Iâm not going to win on charm, either.
My small laundry room houses not just my washer & dryer & freezer, but also: a chest of drawers for my husbandâs seasonal clothes, his winemaking equipment & bottles, a bookcase full of his jigsaw puzzles, a large âlogâ growing oyster mushrooms, and a 100-gallon fishtank to overwinter our koi. I can only pray he doesnât develop an interest in trainsâŠ!
FYI: For those of you didnât see Pawn Stars last night. According to the 2019 edition of Greenbergâs Lionel Trains Pocket Guide. It was a 1957 Girlâs Train. If it was in excellent condition, it would sell for $815.00. The owner of the Pawn Shop, Rick Harrison bought it for over $3,000. OMG! Later, in the show, Rick gave a brief history of toy trains and Lionel.

So now you expect her to step around and over your new toy. I repeat, when does she get to buy something for herself?

John: âYou donât need the whole laundry room, do you?â
Elly: âWell, no, if you are willing to do the laundry for me.â
John: âThe basement. Iâll set up in the basement. (Whew! That was close!)â

New project. You need to build a model train shed. Little hobbies grow up so fast.

Why is it always the laundry room where people drop their âstuffâ? I tell my husband: this is my work space.

Not the laundry room, the garage and invest in covers for the cars.
