Jim (Hawk05) [:)] Nice to see you post a few here in the coffee shop. You have been missed [8D] Did you buy a kit for the grain elevators? I posted a thread about awww, well some time back, about using Pringle cans or Lay Stax cans for grain elevators and water towers. The thread was called, "Resourceful Modeling" if you want to find it and check out some of the other posts in that thread. Somewhere here in this coffee shop I also posted a link to the thread. I am not sure which would be a quicker way to find it. But anyway, nice to see you post again. The sun is down now and it is still 82 degrees. [:(] The new River Rail here is operating now. Rides are free for another week or so to get people to see it and ride it. They have had some minor problems with cars and delivery trucks blocking the tracks for the streetcars. This is not rapid transit by any means. The area covered is downtown in North Little Rock and Little Rock and streets are congested with traffic. The rails are laid close to the curb but parking downtown is parallel and cars must really watch how they park now. Police are ticketing any vehicle that blocks the tracks. One streetcar was delayed 45 minutes the other day because someone had the track partically blocked. The streetcars run on tracks and do not have rubber tires so they cannot manuever around those that block them. I have not had time to ride yet but hope to soon. It might be a way to do some railfanning from the railcar but will actually have to ride it to know for sure. Well I still have some poison ivy, it is not spreading but isn't going away either. The mosquitoes are really bad now. We had tons of rain here lately and only a little cold weather (50s) so they are still here. <Maybe I can pawn them off on Paul and Bob [;)] > The Cotton Belt 819 use to run to Tyler every year for the Rose Festival there. I remember one year the mosquitoes were really bad here before the trip. The trip was in mid October. I really miss not getting to go on that trip. [:(] Those who say they don't like steam engines probally have never ridden a train pulled by one of them. Seeing one steam up can really change one's mind about them. Well it is 7 pm now. Time to think about going to bed soon. We are working Saturday and still have to be there at 5 am. We will get off at 1:30 so the day will not be a total loss. I might actually stay up late Saturday night, maybe even to 9:30 (yeah I know, I am really pushing it these days [:p] ). Sleep Well. Eat More Pizza, it helps Jim have more money for modeling. [;)] [:p]
