Wow when it rains its poors at the .local.syr. nothing said for months then,
WHAMM!! a hundred posts. heheh Good to see everyone is still around kicking.
I'm going to start hiding stuff on the Sats before the sale days. I talked girl
in the Toy Department and she said a good place to hide them is in the Barbie
aisle. heheheh I can just see the Article in the Police Plotter, Man arrested
in Department store for Hiding Toys and throwing Barbie Dolls.....
Oh well, they will have to catch me first.
So there's another one on the dark side. As Homer would say..., "EMMMMMMMM
Trains". heh Personally, I have been Majorly Disappointed with Lego and their
trains. The parts that come with the new ones aren't even worth it. I've done
most of my shopping on Ebay. Good thing is I took a Hint from John B. about
being a Detective and autopsy the ebay picts, looking at bulk lots looking for
trains. John Thanks, good Idea.
I made out twice like a bandit!! My all time favor lot was a 15 pound lot for
300 dollars.. Bonus? get this a 4558(Metroliner) 4563(Haul& Rail) Plus two
more motors. Plus a whole punch of other stuff. Nice thing was the metro liner
was complete!!! That was a sweet deal. so now I can at least feel cool with 2
metroliners. heheh Man I would even have a deal with someone if they wanted to
exchange a Metroliner for a 7740(HINT HINT work out something)
need more train stuff though... got plently of track now I just need a place to
setup a layout.
John how much you paying for rent, I should probably start looking. I figure a
three bedroom apartment 1 room for lego 1 room for Computer(s) one room for TV
heheh, Bed? I don't need no stinkin Bed....
TTYL
