Trainz Life Update

Starting August 26 I'll be going back to school for accounting. That means less time driving trains on here. Also, I'll be looking for part time work since the Union Pacific job didn't work out. Hopefully another opportunity will present itself in the near future. On occasion I'll pop my head in to see what's going on. Besides, I've got a lot of fictional routes to get working on that've been put on the backburner. I need to stop procrastinating and get them done. Getting tired of recording YouTube videos on the same routes repeatedly. So this is just a heads up about what has been going on in my life.
 
Life happens and must take priority. I just made it back to Trainz after a 4yr hiatus. I Trainz during the summer and work on antique clocks and pocket watches during the winter. I make sure I take a break from both during autumn and spring. Wife and I are both retired. Don't think I could have done when working and raising our son. Best of luck and see you around the place when you can.
 
You'll have plenty of time to use Trainz even though you'll be working and going to school. You may be busy with the important stuff but remember to step away and take a break mentally from that even if it's a few hours on a weekend. This allows your brain to decompress and process what you've been working on in your job and school.
 
That's what happens when you are young and you enter the adult world. You have to fend for yourself and get a job, etc. and if you start a family then your family becomes your priority with your hobbies a side thing to do on your days off. Older people who are retired have more time on their hands. I'm in a unique situation, my brother and I are mentally disabled and we live together with a man who lived with us since 1994, our mom passed a little over 2 years ago in the hospital and our father on March 8, 1986 from a car hitting him 2 miles from our house at night. We don't drive, and I have been unemployed since Dec. 2000, we get government benefits that our male cousin (mom's sister's son) manages and he lost his dad to strokes March 31, 2023, our mom set up a trust with him so that our future would be secure but now the trust went to a lady that we had investments with. So, I sort of have more free time for Trainz and other video games and things now, but we are keeping busy as well going to church, and going out, and I have a surgery for Crohn's this Friday and will be in the hospital for a few days. More advance robotic surgery with less pain and faster healing. I liked trains since I was little and rode lots of tourist trains, steam trains like WK&S, Strasburg, Blue Mountain & Reading/Reading and Northern, Steamtown, Black River, Bel-Del, Wilmington & Western July 4, 2011, and West Chester (diesel train) last year in September with my male cousin and his son who lives there, he is my mom's only sister's son. I grew up in the arcade and home video game era and had most of the major systems by Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Microsoft, etc.
