Ron Ron [:)] I had a smaller computer problem Saturday / Sunday. I deleted cookies. Shouldn't have been a problem at all. But for some reason I couldn't get back on the internet. I keep trying and trying but to no avail. So I finally said the heck with it, got out the HP computer disks and reformatted the drive. Of course I lost ( A G A I N ) all the pics that the forum members have sent me but at least I am back online. I should also be free of any adware. [:)] Stay away from Smiley Central, it is loaded with adware. Many programs you download sneak it in on you as part of the download agreement. You don't even know it is there., that is UNTIL you use MS Internet Explorer Browser. I also have to reload MSN Messenger. I tried earlier today but after waiting 20 minutes for the download to complete, I got an error message saying that the download failed. [:(!] I haven't been on msn messenger much lately because of working so much. I MISS YOU GUYS [:(] [:0] [;)] But I shall return. [:D] Maybe not on a PT boat, hopefully a C 425 [:D] [:D] [:D] . Of course I would gladly settle for a C424 or even a C420. And I wouldn't mind an RS3 either. [;)] [:D] [;)] Oh heck, any Alco will do. [:D] [:)] [:D] Well I am having Mexican (again) tonight. So I better check on it. I am hungry. Doesn't everyone eat at 1am? [:p]

QUOTE: Originally posted by Noah Hofrichter QUOTE: Originally posted by lupo wow Noah only 8 days? how long is your summervacation? It's approximentaly two months. The state made a new law last year that we can't start school before labor day, so we start the tuesday after. We only get either a week and a half off for christmas of spring break, and my understanding is we'll never have both. Our spring break this year was only a five day weekend instead of the usual week long spring break. This way thought we don't have to go as far into the summer and we get a longer continuous break (to work on the the trains) Sooooooooooo [sigh] you win some you lose some, it all works out the same.[:D] Noah[:p]

QUOTE: Originally posted by Roadtrp Hello all, Seeing how it is Friday evening, does anyone mind if I bring a nice glass of Merlot into the coffee shop? I've never had a problem with viruses or worms (knock on wood). At work they immediately apply the patches and anti-virus updates to our servers as soon as they come out. The servers then pu***he patches and updates out to all of our desktop computers during the evening. At home my computer is still running Windows 95. That operating system is so darned old that the viruses and stuff don't affect it. My wife thinks it is crazy that I make my living with computers but use a Windows 95 computer with a dial-up Internet connection at home. I figure what the heck -- I always have the latest and greatest at work, why do I need it at home? But now I am probably going to have to change. My boss gave me a new computer to use from home that of course has XP on it. Now I will have to deal with the virus stuff like everyone else. I've had the new one here for three weeks and still haven't set it up. I'm sorry, but I like my OLD computer. The new one is kid of cool though. It is one of those new one-piece jobs where the flat screen and its stand contain the guts of the computer. That will take up WAY less space than the old beast I'm on now. But I still like my old one. We've been through a LOT together. [:(]

QUOTE: Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes Mornin' I'm awake--kinda. On the second cup of coffee, it definately will take more. The sun is up and it is a nice day. On a sad note when I came home last night from work I noticed my front porch seemed to be not as dark as usual. I turned around and noticed my neighbor had cut down a 30 to 40 year old cedar tree. Well that itself wasn't too bad but it was strangely silent last night. The tree was home to a bird that sang all night. He/she had a variety of calls and sounds that he/she made. When I would take the dog for a walk he would sing to us and I would sometimes "call" back to him and he would then "chat" with me. But last night there was no song, no call, and no chat. I don't know where he went but I missed his singing last night. In the summer the tree provided some shade for the front of the house so now the house will be a little warmer in the summer. So I miss that tree already. [:(] [V] [:(!]

QUOTE: Originally posted by Noah Hofrichter speaking of school, I got a 4.5 day weekend! My dad is taking me out of school and we're going to the WSOR's Janesville WI yards. Its about a 1:45 minutes away. I've been waiting to go here for quite a while, so this is big for me. I'm not going to miss much at school though. they're just going to a camp overnight. Now that I've gotten to the Janesville yards, I've got to sceam away to get to the horicon yards. I've got a motion to propose. Alot of time, not all the time, but alot of the time, lupo is on here when we're sleeping or trying to sleep. So I propose that we vote him the night watchman of this place, just to make sure it doesn't fall off the first page at night. Ideas? Good? Bad? Lupo, that okay with you? Noah
QUOTE: Originally posted by tomwatkins Scott and Der, the residual whine from exposure to turbines is well documented. Exposure to turbines sets up a sympathetic vibration which dogs or at least some of them, can sense. Exposure to the chuff of a steam locomotive or the growl of an early EMD at idle will cancel it out.
