Good Morning All: Not much going on here. I had to clean the house for the super bowl dinner (nine people) and then clean it after they left. I did like the tribute to the troops. I think that it's terriable that we don't do that more often. Pauls Tee shirt wasn't going to come off and expose anything. I've now heard that the reason it was a "wardrobe malfunction" last year was that he was supposed to pull the flap down but their was supposed to be another covering. Do I care - NO. Did I see it - NO (I was in the kitchen getting some more turkey). I don't think the commercials were as good this year as last, to me probably the best (during the game) was the one were the burro tried out to become a draft horse. If you haven't read the post about "the changing of the light bulb" it is very funny. The address is http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19526 You guys talked so much about the cloud kit at HD, I went to Lowes to get one and they didn't know what I was talking about so I guess it's off the HD and that's thirty five miles one way. What is the part number? Jim: If you buy switches in the beginning of layout construction, don't worry about buying too many as you'll use them someplace - trust me. The only time I messed up was when I was going to build a 5' X 9' and bought all of the switches in code 100 and then changed my mind and built an 11' X 13' in code 83. Since they were BK special order the hobby shop wouldn't take them back, now I have a lot of switches that I'll never use. Phil: I agree on the Athearn ad but I'm not into Nearly invisable. Some guy made a post about that loco having a three pole motor in it and the $1000.00+ ad in MR clearly states FIVE pole motor - I've spent this morning looking for that thread so I could post the issue and page number (I hate when people state facts and they aren't correct). BLI used that head-on shot for some of their locos and I don't think is a good idea, we're just used to a side shot. Luct: I'm glad that Gloria is getting better. I'm going to get that polish out to you and John this week, I found one box and I just need another. Ryan: How big is your layout? How far along? Your close enought that Stephanie might come over for the day, of course we'd need an invtation first. and talking about invitations Lill Robert: When are you comming down? This weekend and the weekend of the 25th we're going to mediation school but I'd like to meet you any other time. Rob: I use hardshell scenery - no flying foam just gloop on the floor, especially if you decide to not put newspaper down, after all it's only a small area and we'll be carefull. My mother heard that a lot on the first layout in the 1950's and she had the awdasity to mention it to Stephanie. Now she saves newspapers for me. ***: Our postMAN is a woman but she'll always be a postman to me. I can convert metric to wentworth for my own use but I am to old to start THINKING in metric. A very good friend of ours that came over from Germany said she felt like an American when she realized that she was thinking in English instead of thinking in German and then converting to English. Snoah: My wife was pleased when the NMRA calender arrived untill she looked at the pictures and they were all of trains. Now I get to use it. Ed: YOU'RE GOING TO TALK TO JOHN ABOUT BEING PHILOSOPHIC?? Between you and him we get a good education I'm going to go get lunch Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
