Good Morning All: <br /> <br />[#welcome] to the new guys. If you don't like what we're talking about feel free to start your own idea - we all chime in. Some of the ideas that we are talking about may go back several days but we have a good time. <br /> <br /> <br />Today is a good day, we're going to skip church and go visit Mrs. "T"'s sister over in Houston - that means a visit to the LHS (128 miles away) and the shopping list is ready. <br /> <br />I have two packs of bi-polar bulbs that I bought to signel the slip switch and now I can't find either pack but, when I get home tonight they'l be sitting in plain sight because I'm going to buy some more today. I went down yesterday to get a prostrate cancer screening test. That test had to be develped by a <b>woman</b> that didn't like men. Yesterday was a laid back play with trains day. <br /> <br />John: <br />My <b>N</b>ormal railroad is not DCC, so the Kato doesn't have a decoder in it. With it being in the garage I don't mess with it as much, and I (to coin a phrase from Fla/Phil) am just fumble fingers with it because it's so small. I'd just like to get some running time on it. I think it's been a year since it's run. The track plan for the "N" scale is out of the Atlas book "nine N scale layouts", it is layout #9. My friend was ambishes when he took started this project. I am impressed with the work that you've gotten done and am looking forward to your layout. I especially like using the corner molding as I never thought of that. I always sanded, sanded, sanded, and then painted the corner. Five days of sanding and three minutes of painting. <br /> <br />Fergie: <br />The telephone conversation went well until Mrs "T" realized that I was talking to someone in Canada. So, yes, I know that it lasted 2 hrs. I've been reminded several times about the two hours. Mom has changed her mind again and is now comming, but she has six days to change it again, so I don't know. My sister and I both agree it would do her good to get out of the house, but... That was the correct ending for that sentence. I don't think that any of the customs people would ever think that what I'm bringing is new enough to have just been purchased. The Zeypher is the ony exception and it should have some paper work with it. <br /> <br />Jim: <br />I'd be more then happy to deliver some stuff to Fergie and John. I'll give you a call from Texarkanna and lt you know how the day is going. <br /> <br />Fla/Phil: <br />You make me laugh - I enjoy the jokes. Mrs "T" wants to know "what are you laughing at?" so I read them to her and then we get to tell them to each other all day long. It's nice to see that some one else isn't all that savvy with the computer IE: where are the smilie faces? John had to tell me how to do quotes, I wasn't looking for it, so I didn't see it. <br /> <br />Lupo: <br />What's wrong with extra loco parts - it gives the hoppers or gons a realistic load. I had a '49 Chevvy as my first car and I had a 5 gallon bucket in the trunk with parts in it that I didn't know where they went. As long as it ran that was the main thing, when it stopped, if I couldn't get it started, I'd just thumb home and dad and I would go back, he'd fix it and I'd drive it home. No cell phones and no fear about getting into a car with a strange person. AHHHHH for the good ol' days. I don't know about <b>good</b> as "what was air conditioning?" <br /> <br />Well Mrs. "T" is ready to go, so it's off the the LHS. I'll think about ya'll while I'm enjoying myself. <br /> <br />Ya'll have a blessed day and remember <b>SANTA FE ALL THE WAY</b> <br />Bob
