Good Morning All: <br /> <br />Well it's nice to see that Dave, Emerald, and Fla/Phil got all of their neighbors acts together and were able to complete the election in a proper time. Now if Breakie will just kick his neighbors in the butt, we can find out who is our new president. I feel sorry for all you Canadaians and people south of the border, what do you do while the TV networks have only election coverage? Last night was one of the few times that I watched TV (I hate the idiot box). It wasn't so bad to watch the Godfather and then switch over to CNN during the commercials. Ohio is promising a count but it may take eleven days. Thank God for electronic voting machines and being able to get elections results <i>fast.</i> It's amazing that both canadates can claim victory in Ohio. Only in politicks. <br /> <br />Jim: <br />My ISO is a local company whose rate is $15.00/month and if I pay for a year at a time it is only $150.00 with unlimited time. I save the $30.00 and go for the year. <br /> <br />Tom: <br />The roundhouse that I built was 933-3041 It's the one that looks like the old "Ideal", that we made from cardboard 40 million years ago. I'm glad to hear that Shawna is able to go back to school. Where is Bill? I kinda thought that he'd get back on when he got to feeling better. <br /> <br />Fergie: <br />My whole system is Digitrax and Soundtraxx. When Digitrax comes out with sound I may change just to keep it all the same. When you use different manufactors products and have trouble, it's always the other guys fault and you are cought in the middle with something that doesn't work. My new DCS200 (the 8 amp model) died yesterday afternoon and has to go back today for a fix. <br /> <br />Fla/Phil: <br />Keep me in mind for the milled roadbed if you ever need it. I liked being able to lay the roadbed at leasure and when it's just like you want it, nail it down and then come back and lay the rail. I used Atlas switch kits in the beginning and then went on to build my own. It's funny, but all the time that we were building those switches we ever thought of curved turnouts, and now I probably have as many curved turnouts as straight ones. <br /> <br />Paul: <br />Where did you go canoe camping? That was what got us into the bus business. We used to take people canoeing in our travel-all (an International suburban) and then we found out the car wasn't big enough to take all of our customers so we bought a bus. We've canoed the Rio Grande, Guadalupe, Big Piney, Cassatot, and a bunch more. We were in the canoe business for better then 15 years. I still have a 17' Old Town wooden Molitor hanging in my office. We stopped by Old Town Canoe company on our vacation and got to see the manufactoring process for plastic, royalex and wood. <br /> <br />Well I've rambled long enough let me get dressed and put out some more bird feed. I've found out they really like chicken scratch and it's a heck of a lot cheaper then bird seed. <br /> <br />Ya'll have a blessed day and remember <b>SANTA FE ALL THE WAY</b> <br />Bob
