Hello All [:)] I am here but don't know for how long. My computer has been giving me fits and many days would not let me on the internet or even past an error message screen. I have been getting messages like this: "A device file that is specified in the SYSTEM.INI file is damaged." Other messages have told me that other files were missing or corrupted, and I have even gotten this message," SMART Failure Predicted on Hard Disk 0." I have done several reformat and recovers but even then could not get online. Late last night I decided to try one more reformat and recover and somehow managed to get on. I have left the computer up and not shut it down. I have a feeling when it goes off that I won't be able to get back on again. [:(] [V] [:(!] Lupo [:)] HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY [:D] [bday] Ron [:)] Congrats on the 3rd start. I had been missing seeing your post. Glad to have you back. [;)] Robert [:)] Congrats on the nice Christmas present. I only have one question, "When do we all get to go for a ride?" [;)] On your loco, many railroads painted the handrails a different color so they would stand out for safety. That does add a little "color" to it and makes it eye appealing also. Greg [:)] Your town actually has a stoplight? Where I grew up we didn't even have that. [B)] It certainly is "refreshing" to see the whole town come together and do something like that play. Now about those cattle . . . they may be used to diesels but you just run a steam engine up those tracks and watch them cows run. [:D] When I was a car host on several different steam engine trips the cattle and horses would "run for the hills" when a steam engine passed. [;)] [:D] WH [:D] I think you mentioned something about a "lazy turn." This should give you and some of the other cockpit jockies a laugh. When I was taking flying lessons (in a Cessena 150) when the CFI told me to start doing turns a 10 degree turn was the most I was willing to make. [:D] [;)] [:D] OK, up off the floor and stop laughing now. After a time or two I did work up to 45 degrees but looking back now I realized the CFI was probally dying laughing inside. You guys probally are too. [;)] After several flights you realize you are not just going to fall out of the air, but it does take a little time to get use to it all. And stalls, oh boy, [:0] [B)] [;)] better than 6 Flags over Texas. [;)] [:D] And we just thought the roller coaster was bad news, try a stall at 2000 feet. [:p] (Don't eat lunch before your first stall though. [:p] [;)] ) And speaking of flying I noticed that Dan has began posting here again. I did send him an email hoping he would help us get Fergie a WWII destroyer but he has been focused on paint. [;)] And in one of my flying magazines I noticed an article about the Concord being "barged" up the river to the Intrepid Sea-Air Space Museum. They took away a destroyer (WWII no less) to make room for the Concord. So their is one "floating" (pun intended) around somewhere. [:p] [;)] And on that same type of news . . . North Little Rock has acquired a submarine [:0] that is sometimes open to the public to go down into. Normally there is a $5 charge to see inside it but they do have special days where it is free. So far I have not been able to make it. But since it is near the Bearing Cross Railroad Bridge will make a stop by it one of these days. Here is a link to some info if anyone is interested. http://www.northlr.org/maritime-museum/ North Little Rock is also trying to save a WWII ship that survived the December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor attack. That ship is the U S S Hoga. Well I once again wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. I work Monday night then Tuesday morning will be taking off to head to Missouri for a family Christmas holiday. Last year I was able to get a few photos of trains while at the farm. This last Thanksgiving the weather did not cooperate so I hope December's weather will do so and I can snap some shots. [;)] I will be back sometime after next Sunday or Monday depending on the weather and other events. Everyone take care and stay safe and warm. [:)]
