I have the desire to be back hacking metal parts, but I can\u2019t get my body to do what my mind desires. It\u2019s not a physical thing. Just switching mental gears from what I already do and getting to other things I love to do. I have way too may interests and options. I thought retirement would give me more time. Boy, was I ever wrong!<\/p>\n<p>I just gave myself a Christmas present. I just re-activated my subscription to <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.villagepress.com\/store\/items\/detail\/item\/2964\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Live Steam and Outdoor Railroading<\/a>. That may get the juices flowing. I also ordered the <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.villagepress.com\/store\/items\/detail\/item\/2536\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Building the CliShay<\/a> from the same source. Not that I am going to build one, but I like to study the material and details of any build project.<\/p>\n<p>I kind of like the concept of the CliShay where anything goes, nothing is wrong, do your own thing, that a non-scale live steam project permits.<\/p>\n<p>I viewed an 0-gage CliShay on YouTube that was pretty much a work-in-progress disaster. Flames rolling out, up the outside of the boiler shell and melted off a steam fitting. So inefficient the operator was chasing around with a small blow torch heating the outside of the boiler to keep it running. BUT\u2026<\/p>\n<p>He had a live steam locomotive running and was probably having a great time working out all the issues. He was living the dream, not still in the dream state. Nothing wrong there. I was envious, but still getting a chuckle.<\/p>\n<p>I would probably change places with him for a day&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some progress is better than no progress.
