Trip through Cottage Grove, Eugene, and Springfield. I grew up watching tv-edited Lampoon movies. The chocolate bar in the pool scene from Caddy Shack gets me rolling every time.

Threw myself a birthday party. Spent too much on balloons, so yes, I am taking them home. Will wake up tomorrow to a big 4-0 and cleaning supplies greeting. #turning40 #birthday

My pumpkin stopped growing at 26.7 lbs. The fates decided I should live another year. The plan was to die trying to paddle a giant pumpkin down the Columbia River to the Pacific. It would have been epic either way. Next year. #giantpumpkin

Go for it. I enjoy watching a locomotive, but there it is quite special seeing a trolley zip along. I'm still working on my garden layout, which will be only light rail.

How to grow a pumpkin big enough to row down a river

Rowing a giant pumpkin might seem like something from a nursery rhyme, but growing it? Mark Peacock is The Big Pumpkin grower and says it's less of a fairytale and more like a lesson in resilience.

Sorry. The compression of the last video cut the buildings out of frame. Here is some footage of the lighting.

One more trolley video. I love how the buildings and campfires light up, making this layout come alive at dusk. #trolley #gardenrailway #modelrailway

Getting there, growing a giant pumpkin. The size goal is large enough for me to float in down the river. #pumpkin #gardening

Worked on people for the model train setup. The first pair were a sweet couple who cared for my brother and me. Our dad would drop us off at their farm in the summer.
Iris passed this spring to join Burnus.
My brother has begged me not to necromance their spirits into the peg wood figures.

This is not my setup. It is a water feature.
