Good Morning All: You guys have run through a lot of post since I've been on (our computer was hit by lightening, then we had a spare and now it's fixed, read that as replaced) all I have to do now is spend two days adding all of the programs back on. John: I realize that we shouldn't cry over spilled milk, but I'm bringing a Digitrax Zypher and Chief with me to show Fergie and I could have demenstrated it for you also. Digitrax is so much better then Prodogy. Before everyone gets on a bandwagon, I like Digitrax and have been using it for over two years. After you've gone to DCC I don't think that you will ever back up. When you get around to getting the first one with sound I think the slogan "operate in silence no more" will prevail. When I put my first Soundtraxx decoder in a United 2-8-0, it immediatly became my favorite loco, and got the wheels run off it. Next was a Proto E-8/9 and it was great. Not all of my locos have decoders, but all of them that have decoders have sound; A-B-B-A lash-ups excluded as I put sound in only one "B" unit. I'm bringing a couple of locos with me to show Fergie and if you aren't upset by foreign power I'll break them out when we get there. I'm more interested in looking at your layout and seeing what you have done and stealing ideas then in selling you my ways. I've probably learned more from pike visitation then any other way as you can "touchie feelie" and see the results and best of all you can ask "stupid" questions about how it was done and what failed. On the subject of TEA (a necessary bad habit): I often wonder, if their hadn't been the PROBLEM in Boston, what would the South American countries have been growing instead of coffee. I was going to tell ya'll about ice tea having a season in New England but Tom beat me to it. I like Mint tea for the first cup and then Cherry Vanilla for the second. For the rest of the day I've got about 12 diferent flavors that I drink. Not all in the same day. I usually drink about four large cups a day. On the subject of TOILETS (a necessery item): I was remodeling the house and didn't like the idea of the water-saver toilets, it seemed to me that after I flushed it twice I didn't save any water and I had to wait for the tank to refill for the second flush. On a tour to Canada (Winnipeg), unbenownest to me, the TOILET FAIRY put a big tank in the belly of the bus. When I got home, I found it when I was cleaning up the bus. Being a frugal person and needing a toilet, I went down to Home Depot an purchased the matching bowl. It was the exact same toilet that I wanted to put in the bathroom. The TOILET FAIRY was very nice to me. When we put in the drain line we used 8" instead of 4", it cost more but I'll be dead and buried before it ever clogs up. It'll probably take a commerical ro-roter to clean it out. Stephanie says that I have to get dressed and go to work so Have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
