the North East Rail Modeler I agree completely. I've never been too crazy with cell phones (I don't even know how to use the one I got. The 2 minutes of use it ever recieved was from when my Dad was trying to figure out how it worked) I see the CB radio a lot easier for me to use. An added bonus is that some also have scanners in them, along with NOAA wether radio. Now, stare in amazement, gawk, or run for a bomb shelter in fear that the world was ending, I am a teen-ager who doesn't like cell phones (and would rather do without one)

Same here.
The only cell phone that even remotely captures my attention is a old 2000 model phone. By today's standards, it is a brick, but the outside looks cool.
Jeff: Thanks for the enlightenment.
Joe: Thanks for the info. I don't know whether being cyberschooled will make a difference, but we'll find out.
Evening all!
Tonight's project w**k went very well. We got the stage platforms dismantled and disposed of (except for a small part because the saw blade got bent, so it ended burning the wood rather than actually cutting it...) and the entire area thoroughly cleaned. The next day is on the 16th, so I'll have a while off.
TSF, ah, linear programming. Don't even bother asking me if I remember that from Algebra 2.
TSF and Sawyer, I found proofs impossible. Our geometry teacher could not teach for his life (and was subsequently fired after being there for only one year...)
Nik, freshman year. Way different from eighth grade. It's good for the first couple months, then it wears off. You're at the bottom of the food chain, your classes are horrible because you only have one elective, and some teachers will go out of their way to hate you, just cause you're a freshman.
Well, I gotta go cause I need to get up early (8:30-9ish) tomorrow to head down to TCNJ at 10ish. I probably won't be in tomorrow, so I'll see you guys Sunday!

teen steam fan Packers#1: it is the (x, y, z) coordinates correct? if so, yeah, just think of the graph as a 2D image of 3D space. Like a CAD program Its only x and y. Would help though if the kids in my class would shut the bloody 'ell up and let the teacher do his job. Small room, loud, annoying uperclassmen and my nerves running thin. I've been so close to grabbing one of them by the collar and telling them to either shut up or pay attention. If you don't want to be in the class fine, don't hurt those of us who want to learn. Now I'm up here. Great, just great. At least I kept it short. My math class is 7th period and I sit next to a girl who is always talking. Sayin' "oh you rude" My responce is usually 'oh, I don't give a turkey. Its been a long week for me and I just need a tall Green river. Thanks.

huh, we had linear programming with three coordinates. I hear you on kids who don't want to learn...I have two CP classes this year, and while in art it's really laid back, in computer apps there;s a fair amount of kids that don't really care it seems, they're pretty loud. I usually listen to them while I work though, they're pretty entertaining. That's what I like about my honors classes though, at that level 99% of the kids who don't want to be there have been weeded out. I tend to get along with almost everyone though, so my only problems have been gettin picked on back in elementary and middle school. Eh, life goes on, words may break your spirit, but I tend to not give a dern.
Nik, enjoy that freshman year man! I had a BLAST last year, my high school is OLDDDD (some of the campus was built in the 50's), but the campus is awesome. It's so much more freedom than middle school, I loved it. Enjoy high school man, it's one heck of a ride.
Well, we watched Robin Hood tonight. It's the one with Russel Crowe in it. Pretty dang good movie!

You'll notice, I didn't say it "texts". I have had points where being able to see what the person said 20 minutes ago would be nice, such as Adresses. But I'm with everyone else, 95% of the time, if I have something to say, I want to SAY it. I cannot text witha Bluetooth headset. And you'll notice, not one of the Star Trek crews typed on their shirts. They clicked them, and TALKED.

galaxy My GPS's neatest feature is the "HOME" button. It is designed to get me home from anywhere in the 48 contiguous United States IF that area was satellite mapped at the time my GPS system was programed about 4 years ago when we bought it and assuming the roads have not changed any. And assuming no new buildings have been constructed, it will get me ALMOST to exactly where I'd like to go. It ALSO needs an "avoid ghetto" highlighted button to alert us to the nearest route around the ghetto and slums. If only... *sigh* Still we enjoy it. It has helped us out many times! We have come to rely on the female voice we affectionately call "Rhoda Roadmaster". HAve a great afternoon/evening guys! EDIT: I have top honors! SO have some , , , and a on me!

TrainmanSam is having fun with trains. I wonder if the VRE is still hiring. ain't gettin' nowhere in Indiana with electronic apps. This little piggie is trying very hard to get into the ground level of the Passenger Rail Sector. (And failing)
Have we ever decided what this ol' Diner looks like? With as many of us are here, I'm thinking something like an SP Cascade or Daylight Triple Unit is the only thing big enough to be continous length. (The order of the cars is didfferent between the two)

Phew!, I'm glad to hear that.
Now, you don't have to worry about me having any ideas. I mainly stay at home, reading books (Treasure Island, Mig Pilot, and Lost At Sea are the top 3 on my list right now...) scouring through my 20-30 years worth of Model Railroader magazines (about 25 years of them I purchaced at the last train show that came to Jacksonville, FL) for scale drawings of anything that I can scratch-build. I have never done anything stupid intentionally . I'm not joking.
Man, I must be boring, to find excitement only in a fire engine and a train horn at a football game

Zandoz and Galaxy, I agree 100% with the texting. In fact I never text, in part because I refuse to own a cell phone at the moment... When I did own a cell phone, only my son and my Sister in Canadaigua had the number (I gave it out to my Mother, but thought she would have to call me using her TV remote.... THAT's another story for another day. ). They would most likely never get me on it anyway because I never had it on. The battery was completely dead most of the time so it only w*rked when it was plugged into the lighter socket in the truck or car... I finally got sick of shelling out for the 25 FREE minutes I got every month (for $18.95).
Git a bit more done on the module today in between running errands. Took my wheelbarrow down to the local owned tire store as it had a flat tire. The guy told me to just turn it over and use the side THAT wasn't flat....... I've been doing business there for close to 30 years... Unfortunately they know me pretty well. Picked it up late this afternoon, cost me $23 for a new tube and the labor. He also was amazed to see a steel wheelbarrow. We both agree the new Mall Wart plastic ones will last about 3 years before they disintegrate from the UV if you leave them outside at all... If they didn't, how would they sell you a new one. I like my ancient old steel one. Rolls a lot better with the wheel being round now!
Oh, I was going to show you a photo of what I did. Got most of the roadbed down.

Oh I fully agree. My cell phone is supposed to be capable of texting, but I haven't a clue how to. I figure if I want to talk to someone, I will TALK to them. If they want to talk to me, TALK to me. DOn't text me, cuz I don't know how to retrieve. I guess it has its place if one must communicate while being quiet, but if one should be paying attention in a meeting, in class or the movie theater, then they shouldn't be communicating with me, period.
In fact only my other half, my father and the FIL and the mechanic have my cell phone number. I don't give it out willy nilly as it is truely for emergencies only and I will NOT answer it unless I can pull over safely or go somewhere quiet to have my conversation.
Sad part is, many of today's young people will sit in the same meetings and instead of voicing their ideas and opinions, they text each other! The don't know how to talk, or use cursive, and some can hardly print even! Typing and texting and scanning are the order of the day.
I'm an old crumudgeon too.

TSF, algebra2? We just did linear programming earlier this week. It's actually decently easy to me, but then so were proofs in geometry; it's just 3D space. Think about it like a photograph; it's 2D but shwos something that's 3D.
Jim, I wanna see some pics of those structures!
Ah, the productivity that comes with being bored in school. sketched these in class today.
The top one focuses on a birds-eye view of the left end of the interchange yard, and also the cement plant.
The small strip is a dead-on view of the right portion of the layout.
The bottom-left sketch is of a hopper in the cement plant.
The bottom right is a view from behind our GP35 switcher as it sits in an empty yard.
That was a hoot Ray and much needed today. No clutch for the RAM50 (a Mitsubishi Mighty Mite by any other description Jeff- totally nothing good like a D50) and no paperwork for Mom so no 90th birthday party/family gathering until spring at least. Apparantly the Urgent catagory in applications in good old Canada cuts the wait from 230 days to a mere 180 if appplied for in time. No matter she's been a legal immigrant since the '70's and sent the paperwork in July - Rules is rules. At least it makes one appreciate the near lightning speed of the U.S. bureacracy. . So at this point a list of foibles and observations is much appreciated. At least the Amilcar co-operated today. Time to drift off home and I'll wait on that glass of wine until then Chloe, thanks. CUL, J.R.
Trainman Sam-Hey that's great. Glad to hear it. Best wishes for you and your new career. Oh, and I don't think we can leave the behind. Its like a bad penny or the flu. Just keeps coming back.
Not me, just glad to here that NS doesn't have homework. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be in the back booth banging my head into the wall trying to figure out some linear programing
Jim: Those prices do not include the decoders, but their prices for the decoders seem comparable to the online sources I've checked
I must be off! (Don't everyone agree at once)
Reality...an interesting concept with no successful applications, that should always be accompanied by a "Do not try this at home" warning.
Hundreds of years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...But the world may be different because I did something so bafflingly crazy that my ruins become a tourist attraction.
"Oooh...ahhhh...that's how this all starts...but then there's running...and screaming..."
Afternoon, Zoe, I like the new location (except for all the rain on the way here that I had to go through...). Looks like you have more storage space with that reefer car and maybe some spare storeroom space in the station there. I'll have a RBF and a grilled cheese, please.
Thanks to Galaxy and Ray for getting us moved. As has been said, so long as we get moved out before winter sets in up here...
Liked Garry's layout photos, too - thanks! And Ray, if you think they look good in the photos, you should see them up close in his basement! Faller, eh? I may have to do some looking at those.
Robby, I haven't looked back at the last dozen or so pages in the old Diner, so hoping you did all right with your train show endeavor.
I've been putting together (or starting to) some structure kits, including the Revell diesel fuel tank, and some Scale Scenics LP tanks. Got a can of silver spray paint (nice and shiny on the LP tanks), at first to cover up that orange color that the Revell tank's support pieces were. I'll go back and add some rust spots to those over the weekend and maybe post pics (since I'm off-duty this weekend ).
Sorry to report to our East Coasters, but we've had pretty darn good weather this week - temps in the mid-to-upper 70's (F), and lows starting to drop in the evenings. Supposed to be 47 F/ 8 C tonight, and drop to the upper 60's F on Sunday (yep, about 18 C). I expect to see more of the leaves on the trees changing colors/colours this weekend.
Almost forgot - Zan, if those prices for the decoder installs includes the decoders, that's a great set of prices (and even if it doesn't include 'em, still a good price).
Jeff, good to hear that you're taking care of your foot/yourself. Yep, some bills (and the grocery thing) ya gotta do, but then back off that foot. I'm guessing your doctor has something planned to help your foot, right?
I may or may not be remaining in our MRR club much longer. (Edited this down) Short version is, one club member sent an email out to everybody, pretty much condoning razzing others (indefinitely), and that it was just 'fun'. I called him on that, and there are a few others in the club who appear by their usual (similar) behaviors to think it's okay, too. I have a lower tolerance for putting somebody down and then calling it 'just fun'. Okay, , back in your corner - I'm done for now.
I'd best head for home and see about some dinner, since I'm on-call tonight. Then tomorrow morning, it's MY weekend time! Hope you all have a great weekend (and some drying out time for those in the (soggy) Northeast.
Blessings and prayers,

jeffrey-wimberly #25 comes closest for me. Global aphasia takes no prisoners and allows no quarter. If I can't see your face while you're speaking chances are 60/40 that I won't understand you no matter how loud you get. Phone conversations can be iffy. I'll either understand you or I won't. It depends on how much your words get scrambled up.

Afternoon all. Seems like it's finally drying up around here... About time!
Ken, It seems you have an interest in BL2's. Maybe you'd be interested in this:This BL2 is still used in tourist service in northeast Pennsylvania. It is seen here at the Morristown & Erie shops last January, as it was getting an overhaul (The M&E owns the SBRR).
Sam, yeah, I heard about all your delays on Trains NewsWire yesterday. And Congrats on the promotion! Hope all goes well!Taking of lives is an absolutely horrible thing. That student from Rutgers the other day is just absolutely tragic...
Welcome to the Diner, Skipper!
Ray, that's a neat little list! Absolutely true about number 6! Once you get in high school, you completely stop using it!
Northeast Rail Modeler- I didn't realze that you were a year younger with me. And I agree with number 28. Just out of curiosity, I ask all my teachers if every grade really is as bad as the one before it, and it's always the affirmative.
So today is my first w**k day on my Eagle Project! Wish me luck!Oh, and speaking of THAT... yesterday, the school where I'm doing my project did a dress down day. Kids gave a donation of a dollar or more, and in total raised THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That will give me the $230 dollar balance for the lumber, and almost another $150 for paint and other stuff. This is absolutely great!
Tomorrow is my mom's homecoming at TCNJ. While I'm down there, I'll be scoping out the college, since it's on my list.
Anyways, I gotta go. Wish me luck on my project!
Galaxy, What gets me is my GPS always sends me the slowest way out of my neighborhood.... The way it sends me has two stop signs and is longer as well. The way I go is the shortest and has only 1 stop sign. Oh, and when I go the "wrong" route, it tells me I should go stop at 2 more stop signs by going the other way around a square at the top of the street.......
#s 2, 4, and 12 are me. But the one THAT best describes me is....... #25! Huh?
howmus 10. Bad decisions make good stories.28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?

Overall, that E-mail was funny, but I got to adress these.
10: Yep, and if they are on camera, they make for great cable TV (an episode of AFV pops into mind)
28. I'm a high school student (sophmore) and, at least with my school, that seems to be true. I've been hearing a lot of "Hey, Yall, Watch this!" lately, followed by a scream of pain,from an ocasional groin hit on the benches out in front of the school) No, I ain't doumb enough to try any of those "Hey, Yall, Watch This!" stunts.
Tee Hee Tee Hee RAY!
I agree with #7 and Map Quest. I think I can get out of my neighborhood myself.
#20 with google maps and "avoid ghetto" would also be nice.
Afternoon folks!
Zoe, how about a RBF? I'll go sit in the front booth and watch the w*rk being done on LV #211.
Speaking of GPS.... This was just emailed to me by a friend... Thought you might enjoy.
1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.4. There is great need for a sarcasm font. 5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?6. Was learning cursive really necessary?7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.10. Bad decisions make good stories.11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again. 13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dang it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with beer than Kay.20. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.21. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.22. I would rather try to carry 10 over-loaded plastic bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.23. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text. 24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. 27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever. 28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.30.
