Good Morning All: Last night was enjoyable at the operating session. One of the guys(mcouvillion) brought a minature camera with a transmitter sitting on a flat car. We got to watch it running around the layout on a TV. I noticed that some of the ground slopes that looked very good from the aisles were very steep from the track angle. The camera gave a different perspective to model railroading. On the turntable - Fred's employee, while we talked, just used a drill motor instead of the drill press and drilled the coupler off center and at an angle. So off to Grangers for another coupler and I'll dig throu the garage and do it myself. I've got to move two lawn mowers and half of Heaven and earth to get to the drill press. We've decided that since my sister fell and broke her leg, another sister-in-law has her car in the shop, we will have the Christmas get together at our house instead of the third sister-in-laws house in Houston. That means another good house cleaning, after all I don't want them to know that I can't keep a clean house. Jim: I'd forgotten about running through the sprinkler in the yard until you posted it. We sure were easy to entertain weren't we. That's called SELF ENTERTAINMENT and we did that all the time. Remember mom telling us "go outside and play". She didn't care what we did but we'd better not get out of ear shot. Did you go up on the roof and sail your model airplane off so it would fly farther? I thought they were going into town and went up on the roof only to have them come home because they forgot something. I couldn't sit down for a couple of hours after that whippin'. Ya remember having BB gun wars? I remember one time throwing mama cat and four kittens up and having them catch on the power line comming into the house. Stupid me was proud of what I'd done so I went to get mom and show her. WRONG THING TO DO. After I got the cats down and was all scratched up I got another wippin'. This is taking a long time to post as I'm walking down memory lane, but I'll not bore you with the details. About those turnouts I don't have lots of hands but I"m fast - well, at my age, maybe just half fast. Flip: Last night I looked up OK Streamliners and they are in the 2005 Walthers calalog. I couldn't tell which were the 60' and which were the 80'. Some of the jokes come throu, I wonder why it's a hit or miss. Lupo: That Intermountain warbonnet "B" also looks good behind a 4-8-4 and that also requires welding goggles. Who cares - it's my railroad. I've got to get out of here, enjoy a cup of tea on me. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
