This reminds me of the story of my indoor fish pond.
First I built and outdoor railway.
Then I built a bridge.
The bridge looked funny sitting on the ground so I dug a "dry lake" beneath it.
Dry lake looked dumb so dug it deeper, put in a liner and filled it with water.
Wet lake bred mosquito larvae, million of them, so added fish.
Fish needed a winter home so built an indoor fish pond in our sun room.
Pond plants grow 12 months a year indoors, so have taken over sun room.
Fish outgrew outdoor pond so had to make it bigger.
Bridge no longer long enough so rerouted railway.
So now I have an outdoor pond, and indoor pond, some huge pond plants, and a bunch of fish to look after.  And none of them have anything to do with the railroad.  Maybe I should dig the outdoor pond even bigger and train the fish to pull a car ferry.  Naw, better not.  Donaldon would be telling me there was something fishy about the whole operation.

Growing older is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Jim,
I'm glad to see somebody ends up with "forced" hobbies besides me. My Sister-in-law bought my daughters a tiny water turtle and presented it in a one square foot tank with the little palm tree, the turtle got bigger so the tanks keep getting bigger, then came another "free" turtle to keep the other company...

What does all this have to do with my railroad hobby? the $200 dollar filter system to keep the tank from stinking came out of My K27 fund! :'(

But I love my kids and they love the turtles... if only I could convince them turtle soup is Delicious.
