Good Morning All: <br /> <br />No pink hat yet. <br /> <br />I just gave Tom a call and the darn thing flushed like it was supposed to, isn't that a nice sound? And no water on the new floor. It made the first flush while we were talking, now that's confidence in a job well done. <br /> <br />I got out one of my PFM mikes to put a decoder into, put in on the test stand and after lubing it and letting it run for 45 min, it's drawing .5 amps forward and .3 amps in reverse, I guess this is going to be a backward engine. The grease in the worm gear housing is probably hard as it's been sitting up for better then two years. <br /> <br />I'm going to paint my turntable not this weekend but next weekend. This weekend is filled with "mediation school". Ya' see Snoah, at 64 I'm still going to school, there's always something to learn. It doesn't stop with graduation from college. I hooked a decoder up to the 12 volt motor and was impressed with the movement of the bridge. The control is out of this world. I addressed it to 99 and can't wait to get it installed. The full speed of the motor is .45 rpm so you can imagine the speed at 30 clicks. <br /> <br />If Fergie losses some of his train drive I'm sure that the "pink panther" will stir the interest. I haven't called Lisa to see if it's arrived yet but it should have. <br /> <br />Ryan: <br />Be sure and get Lynn Westcotts book on benchworh <b>BEFORE</b> you buy lumber. You want it strong not heavy and he has some very good ideas. <br /> <br />Flip: <br />Now we know that you are a "poet" <br /> <br />Luct: <br />After the poet do we need a bump or a burp? <br /> <br />Brian: <br />I know what you mean about getting another star and not realizing it. That happened to me at 500. If someone hadn't said something about it, later I'd have been wondering when the color changed. <br /> <br />Jim: <br />If we'd known that *** (Mr. HD) and Tom was going to spend so much money we could've gotten some stock in HD and made out like a bandit. I bet by now he speaks to a lot of employees in there, since they reconize him. <br /> <br />Rob: <br />After finding out about the diabetes, bread pudding is the one sweet that I miss the most. <br /> <br />Shoah: <br />Always take the high road, their's less mud. and the going is easier. <br /> <br />Ya'll have a blessed day and remember <b>SANTA FE ALL THE WAY</b> <br />Bob
