we went train watching today, and we caught a couple rare things
first, a hi rail pickup. I know its a chebby, but ill let it slide this time lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dpVSgeuG6o

then we caught P&W (Providence and Worcester) train NH-1 in New London, CT. normally it runs from New Haven (hence the train name NH) to Old Saybrook and switches cars with NR2, but no NR2 today

Howdy Dave...we had some showers today...no boomers.

Business at the dealership is off from last month...probably as a result of some folks waiting for the "Cash For Clunkers" to take effect.

How's the house hunting going???
