Evening guys.. All this computer talk, reminds me of when I was in the industry. I sure do NOT miss it, I was responsible for new product introduction, and always was getting new hardware and peripherals. Started off with a dual floppy machine, and when got the 10MG drive, thought this will really be a big hit. Didn't even get initial production receipts before the 20 was available and then the 30. What a tread mill that whole situation was. After 8 years, had enough and left. But sure was exciting.
STILL working on my wiring, got 2 AIU's wired to terminal strips tonight. Represents over 30 wires ran and labeled. Also got initial path and hardware done for individual switch wiring. As a matter of fact I get tomorrow off to work on it. YEAH !!!
Now I have one for you, when you speak of dedication and train addiction. Went to our club layout last night, and there was hardly anyone there. One other person running trains. He has the BB and Legacy, and was having problems. I checked the wiring and noone had moved the ground wire from the TMCC to Legacy, so there were conflicting signals. Anyway, he was running the BB in TMCC and some of the Legacy features weren't working. I asked if he runs it at home, and does it respond. He said he only has a 5' straight section of track that he runs at home. Not the BB is 32" long, and only runs on a 5' section!! This same guy has some really beautiful trains! He spends a LOT of time, weathering the cars, and making unique military trains. It is very obvious he really enjoys HIS aspect of the hobby, but I would certainly try to adjust some priorities, for some operating capability.
The weather certainly looks wet for this week-end. Raining now, and suppose to continue until sometime Sunday. Saturday is going to be the worst, expecting 3 to 5 inches, the Sierras are suppose to get between 3 and 5 FEET of snow!! May certainly cause havoc with NASCAR this weekend. You guys may really be in for a lot of bad weather next week! This storm is covering the entire west coast, and there is another big tropical storm right behind it.
Hope everyone has a great day
