I join the others here in expressing sadness… and I agree with Ric as well - go slow here; I suspect we all have our ups and downs in enthusiasm - I know I have gone through a few non-railroading periods in my life.
I know the joys of building AND also of operating - been in both camps, love both.
I also get that it’s way more fun to play trains with other boys.
Luckily I have two clubs to recruit fellow operators from, or I might feel the same as you, Larry.
One last thing, if I may: I haven’t seen your layout, but I can say for sure that point to point operations has it all over roundy-roundies. Is your pike primarily the weaker type of format? If so, you might consider converting it, or part of it, to a freightyard or an industrial switching area - not now, perhaps, but in a few months, maybe next Spring. A simple Inglenook can bring operating pleasure to a single guy; you can also share it, and there are interesting ways to extend it. So can an industrial setup for Blindingly Obvious Car Routing. (You can Google it.)
This will always be the world’s greatest hobby, Larry, with the world’s greatest guys in it, like us, fr’instance, and maybe after resting from it for awhile you’ll realize you belong right back in this fraternity! I hope so.
Think about it.
) This just doesn’t do it for me anymore. I’ll keep something to run at a friends place near by. Got some good deals…come on down 
Let you know what I wind up doing too.
