Good Morning All: It's a great day THE COWBOYS WON LAST NIGHT. For those of you that aren't into football, the number one team in AMERICA is the DALLAS COWBOYS. Now I don't want to hear about the packers, steelers, giants or any of the other has beens. Has anyone else noticed how many people read "coffee shop"? For every post their are ten others that just stop in. Why aren't these peepin tom's saying "Good Morning or Afternoon" and letting us know something about them? It isn't like this is a closed club. Now down to the important things: John: Your instructions are great I shouldn't have any trouble finding you but I would like a phone number so I can call you when we are on the road and let you know what our ETA will be. Is their a possability of giving the MT some steroids and bulking it up to HO? Does the MT have lower rates because it has smaller cars? My sense of humor is in top form today. Big_Boy: You're right - apparentlly I've made a mistake and have the layouts confused. That's very easy for me to do. I haven't heard of choke cable controls in years. When I was in high school we used to go out to the junk yards, take out the choke control cables, bring them home, clean 'em up and use them on the layout. For years I didn't know that you could buy them brand new, but I knew where all of the cables were and how they were routed on all of the cars. Most of the hood latch cables ran close to the battery so they were usually eaten up or coroded. Big_Girl: I recieved 17 e-mails today and then got the error message, some of the e-mails came in twice. I don't know. I thought I was only having trouble sending, but now I don't know. I'm going to try the oven fried chicken Sat as that's my day to loaf around. No pun intended. As to your mother, I'm also diabetic. I've been able to control my blood sugar with diet and weight. I lost 50 # before the stroke and the four weeks that we were in the hospital I gained 30 of it back, probably the stress and the fast food. I'm now back down to 205 and shooting for 180 again. Last night was not a good night as I ate a bunch of cashews while watching THE GAME and the blood sugar was at 157 this morning. I take a pill (500 mg Metformina that's the generic for Glucaphage) if it's over 130. This month I've only had to take four pills. I have a cashew fetish and shouldn't have them around the house because I'm like an alcholic and can't stop eating until they are all gone. Philnrunt: I new since you left (?). That's what I like about DPM, you can kitbash so easily. My first kit of theirs was Drywell Inks. It sat around for months until I felt like messing with it and I was pleased with the results. I buy their bulk kits now so I've got a lot of pieces to play with. I found out that if you use a sheet of glass as a tabletop to build the walls they come out a lot better. Tom: I just saw my "little" enveploe come on and wallah - there was your e-mail along with five others that I'd already received. You've probably heard this before, Where is "old" Harris? I'll give you a call when we start the trip and then I'll be able to tell you when we might be there. This is a liesure trip and if we see something down a side road that we want to go look at - off we go. YNCS/Peter: I can't remember if you said that you let people see your layout or not. If you do I'd like to stop by sometime in early Oct. If you'd send me an e-mail at teffy@pernet.net and include your phone I'll give you a call. The "boss" says it's time to go to work so let me go and get dressed, I've got to mask and paint the bathroom in the house next door. The carpenter got the wall finishing up Sat so now I need to go in a fini***he job. Have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
