John Baker, They are not worried about what you would do with any photos, but are worried about our local press getting a hand on photos that can be twisted in the story that went with them. We had a little run in with ABC news and some others after one of the tobacco lawyers decided to form a class action suit against some of our folks....was eventually thrown out of court after several million dollars to fight and still the impression left in people's minds....so you see, they are sensitive.
On this home front, had wonderful day without much to be said for the trains. We went shopping and I bought a micro screw driver set and a soldering station from radio shack. The soldering station is a type of digital set that you just punch in the number for the heat that you want. Will use that to do plenty of repair jobs soon. Then, we dropped the kids off at the baby sitter's and my bride and I went to see Beowolf. Good flick. Afterwards, we went to a Japanese restaurant and had some dinner. It was a nice date and now we are home with the kids and hoping to get some sleep.
Take care,
Dennis
It was so cold and miserable last night that I stayed in and took my medicine from a bottle (or three?). Arose at 0600, had a look at the overnight posts. Pity you don't live close Dennis, I've got all the modelers craft tools Xacto, Dremmel kit, Watch makers tools vices lathes, micro irons etc. you name it I have it. Can't use these things any more. Lack of space and Osteo-Arthritis in my hands have taken away a wonderful hobby. Must be depressed this AM as I am playing a Hank Williams disc. He died when I was just 15.
Dennis, forgive me please but I have no love for the tobacco interests,
I have contracted severe Arterial Degeneration due to 50 years of passive smoking. Yes I did smoke for a year or two in my late twenties, but as I was a racing cyclist its effect caused breathing problems and I quickly quit.
On a lighter note-taking my dear lady to Leeds today for lunch at a Fish and Chip Restaurant. Any of you guys coming to the UK on holiday must sample this Yorkshire dish.
Got the chance to take a pair of SD70s over Sandpatch last night, the new power supply for the RailDriver is great, will be buying another when Lionels inverter gets through.
All this talk of Christmas decoration! I trim up on the first day of Christmas and dismantle them after twelfth night which I have always been led to understand is the correct period, the commercial interests are stretching the season to stupid lengths here, I saw cards and wrapping paper for sale in Fleetwood in July-unbelievable! My local supermarket now has hot cross buns on sale.
On matters Lionel, I need to extend my loop of Fastrack by adding a LH and RH switch, a couple of uncouplers and six 10" Straights. I reckon this will be the largest I can fit into my flat.
Welcome Kevin.
Jim, Try adjusting the frame rate on the camera to say 5 a second this should extend the run time by a factor of five/2hrs becomes ten etc. There are plenty of cheap surveillance cameras around with PIR detectors that can do the job for around £30.00/$60.00 or less.
