Man Cave http://www.man-cave.net Because being a man is nothing to be ashamed of Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:19:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 en hourly 1 Model Railroad for my Man Cave http://www.man-cave.net/2009/12/16/model-railroad-for-my-man-cave/ http://www.man-cave.net/2009/12/16/model-railroad-for-my-man-cave/#comments Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:19:37 +0000 glocker http://www.man-cave.net/?p=78 Three of my favorite things are planes, trains, and automobiles. I've got the plane and automobile aspects covered pretty well but not the trains until now. My wife says I'm taking up too much room in the house so it looks like the Man Cave is the only place I have to set up a model train. Since the, uhm, environment in the Man cave isn't exactly controlled, my scale stuff won't last so I've decided to go with American Flyer trains. I just got some track, a locomotive, and a few pieces of rolling stock. It should be a lot of fun. I think these older American Flyer trains run on AC current instead of CD like the newer trains, so I have a lot to learn. Lots of neat mechanical stuff on the engine, like a forward/reverse controller (can't just reverse the polarity on an AC motor), cammed sound unit, smoke generator, etc. Should be a lot of fun and give me some incentive to get off my lazy behind and get the Man Cave cleaned out.

YES!!! Should be a nice 2 week vacation for all of us. I'm taking Thursday and Friday off and the following week. I'm hoping to finish cleaning the Cave and spending a lot of time working on my model airplanes. I love building and flying model airplanes but with a wife and two kids it's hard to get anything done sometimes. Hopefully with no honey-do's to do for 2 weeks I can get at least 1 into flying condition. I'm also hoping to get my Plymouth Barracuda back from the shop during the time they're gone, but that has run into a few snags so I'm not sure.

Even though I'm going to be without adult supervision it's not going to be one big party. I'm actually planning on starting a program of walking to lose weight. I really need to lose my gut and I figure if I can lose 10 or 15 lbs while the wife is away, she'll be so thrilled she won't notice how much money I spent while she was away. I'm also thinking about taking a couple of days to go to Bishop, CA. I really love it down there but my wife doesn't really like to go there. It would be nice to visit without having to drag her along to a place she doesn't enjoy.

The obvious choice would be a PC. Besides using it as a computer, it could also be used as a DVD player, hi fi, etc. I can download pictures and videos to it. It will run just about any software I need to support my "activities" - database, spread sheet, email, etc.  I can even write my own software for it. For a man cave, though, it's a little too generic for my tastes. I need a PC, but I'm going to have to supplement it with something else, something more "computer-like."

They're a bit pricey, but I like it so much I'm thinking about getting a second one for the man cave (no way my wife will let me use "her" VitaMix blender in the garage). Why? I'm thinking... daquaris... margaritas... and that drink I don't know the name of, but it has coffee, Bailey's, Kahlua, vodka, and ice all blended together... Besides, during the summer I even enjoy drinking healthy drinks once in awhile, and the VitaMix excels at making good tasting fruit and vegetable drinks. Having one in the garage would save me from getting yelled at for making something to drink without washing my hands first or tracking grease into the house.

When I finish I'll have room for both my Barracuda and Valiant, plus room to work on my airplanes and various electronic projects and just plain relax. Oh, and drink beer. I'm looking forward to winter because the beer stays cold. My wife just let me spend a ton of money rebuilding a nice 318 for the Barracuda so I don't want to piss her off by buying a refridgerated beer storage unit for the Man Cave.

Huh???? She doesn't read this site. How did she know? Well, in the interest of marital harmony, I compromised on a glass of wine. With no beer to keep me occupied, I decided to hang out in the garage for awhile. Made a list of projects that should keep me busy for awhile. First thing is to organize and sell a lot stuff on craigslist or EBay. I have WAY too much stuff. First priority after that is to get my Valiant running.
