How many of you know Bill Engvall? He has a song titled, "Here's Your Sign"". It is fairly hilarious and somewhat truthful in certain circumstances. I can relate to a recent circumstance. I have been making a toy train for my grandson who is three. I thought one of those little wooden track types like some of us had when we were that young back in the stone ages. You can buy a box of track for hardly anything and I thought I would make a working locomotive from scratch. Well that small size proved to be too much for me and I had to buy a pre-made engine with a motor in it, but I made all the cars for it to pull. Once the cars were finished I decided to put the track together to make sure that everything worked properly. The box of track has 52 pieces and if I had taken the time to read it completely I would have noted that it clearly states on the box for ages 3 to 7. The box of track is packed so there is no unused space left in the box (a very efficient use of space). So I dump the box out on the floor and began trying to put it together. Did you notice my choice of words there? I spent 20 minutes with no luck at all. The parts all had the same ends and hardly anything would connect. I began thinking the parts were defective or that I got cheated by a cheap knock off. After another 20 minutes of grumbling and other select words the wife came over and asked what the problem was. I said these parts will not make a track, all the curves go the same way and cannot connect. She said why don't you turn them over to see if they are reversible. "Here's Your Sign!" See, if I had a sign, at my age they never would have sold me the track. Then to top it off it took another 20 minutes to get the track back into the box so I could close the lid. Also, here is a peek at the finished train in a gift box I made. I bought the wheels as an expedient, but made everything else using my Dremel rotary tool and Moto-Saw.
