Greetings from austin. I’m down here on a very short (less than 24 hour) trip to Austin. I didn’t have time to connect with many friends. I did get a chance to meet up with Carl and Brynn / Always really good seeing them.. and I had work to discuss with Carl..
One treat tonight was getting to see their new ‘train mansion’ .. a 2000 sq foot out building that carl built mostly to set up his 10 billion model trains.. ok.. maybe not 10 billion.. maybe only 7 billion.. but this man has lots and lots of trains.. .. I saw this on a box among the many stacked up int there.. it looked like a good motto for the whole house !
in addition to trains, carl collects old toys of the type i love.. like this 1930’s erector set zeppelin !
or this 1960’s chemistry set. complete with acid etched hole in the back
or.. get this.. a ‘lab technician set .. for girls ?!?!”
microscope sets
and loads of other cool collectables
i love seeing these guys.. what nice and interesting folks… thanks for the hospitality !
nite all, nite sam
