Hey.....I'd started out looking up a site listed for an auction I saw on a door of an out-of-business shop downtown, couldn't remember what'd been there... (ended up being a restaurant supply company)anyway I ended up going from that auction site located in Kansas or somewhere, to looking at other auctions on the site, to seeing one with a huge train car for sale in someone's yard, to wondering if anybody has tried turning one into a cabin or something...thought I remembered restaurants from trains, vaguely, anyway after a couple more hours of research I found out that cabooses are no longer in use since 20+ years ago and people were using them for many things, inc. a 8 (or was it 14? 9?) 'caboose' hotel in Pennsylvania I believe. So right then I decided I was going to find one, convert it into a cabin, or an art studio or something, concentrating on a certain period for 'decor' (taking ideas from old upscale passanger trains, Then went to bed, woke up, realized that I am a housewife with four kids and 3 dogs and a couple of guinea pigs and a husband that doesn't even let me buy groceries....hey maybe a caboose oughta be my permanent residence!! Anyway, my point here...pimp out your buses and cabooses (that sounded odd) while you still can!!!!!

Thanks for your stories, never thought I'd relate so well to a 'young male pick-up artist.' :)

so where are the stories, man??
