Good Morning All: I couldn't get running this morning and overslept by almost an hour. I'm lucky that Mrs T is going to hold the shop down and I get to do some more house cleaning next door. I was up on the roof yesterday cutting limbs and one of them got behind me and almost took me off the roof. Boy did I get fussed at. I went over to the atlas forum last night and was not all that impressed. I didn't see but one or two posts that cought my attention. Maybe I just expected to much. John: If you'd just get a bigger scale we'd have a lot more in common - we used to white water canoe every summer. One year we put over 4,000 mile on our canoes while doing guided trips. We went from the Rio Grande to the Nandahalia in Ga and to the Mulberry in Ar. We primarly did the Guadelope in west Texas because we could do it in a weekend. When the kids got old enough Mrs T took the older one with her and I took the younger one. I can remember thinking that the best thing in the world is a dry sleeping bag after a day of shooting rapids. About the track laying I must admit that the main line is well planed, sketched, and laid out in sections to be sure that it will fit, but the yard is done on the plywood as it grows. Since I use open grid the mainline has to be close so I can cut the plywood. I'm just not going to spend two years making a model of the layout so I can spend a year building it. Tom: I'm glad that you are working on fascia boards as I'm open for sugestions (SP) on mine I've got two control panels already thought out but I'm needing some ideas on the others. I figure that between you, Fergie, John and maybe Peter I'll come home with the right idea. Like I said before this trip is not to tell you how I did something but to see how YOU did something. I think in a pryer post you said something about sounding a Genesis Warbonnet, do you have the new Walthers ABBA? I"m going to buy the money order today and get mine in the mail. I've already told them that want them and the money order was coming. I may have to wait to decoder these as I don't have anymore decoders right now and with this trip I wont be able to buy any for a couple of months. cjm89: Spaghetti western used to mean a cowboy movie made in Spain but I think now it means any cowboy film made outside the USA. When *** Eastwood made those it was because he couldn't find work in Hollywood and it suprised everyone as to the way they took off. Flip: I've really been worried about a hurricane this year as we are still getting our feet under us after this stroke. Every hurricane that I can remember comming in here always came in, in either late Aug or early Sept. I hope that all goes well, at least you wont feel the brunt of this storm, at least that's what our newspaper is telling us. It looks like it's going to bru***he central part of the state on the east side and go back out to sea. You know that the papers always make it worse then it is. I've seen the damage and then read about it in the paper and I didn't know that they were talking about where I was until I saw my picture. Ed: What is wrong with designer colors? I bought an overland RF&P 4-8-4 because it was so pretty and I wanted to run it on this layout. I knew I was going to have 28" and 30" radius curves. After I bought it, got it sounded and got the first circle down I found out that it needs a 36" rad, so now it's in the box or on the shelf (for LUPO that means mantle). But LUPO - I'm not going to repaint it. I'm probably going to sell it but I've got to wait because I've got almost $1100.00 in this puppy. LUPO: Would you send me your address? I've got a slogan I want to send you. Let me get off to work or better yet get Mrs. T off to work so I can come back home and fall off the roof. I'm too old to work hard with this heat and it's only getting up to the mid ninetys. Have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
