I use ucomics to get my daily dose of Calvin and Hobbes.

Thank you. I had a great birthday this year. Notable presents included a hardbound two volume set of Gary Larson's "Far Side" and a night out with my wife. The only train related item I got was from my daughter. She gave me one of the cars from her Brio set. We spent the morning building a...

My wife recently bought a Jet Ski. She mercilessly demands that we spend time with each other and the children running around Falls Lake on or behind it. She even insits on bringing other families and children! I think she just doesn't want me to work on the models. That's probably why she...

you only have to bid on your drivers at the start of the season. Once the initial driver auction is over, any driver changes come from the "free agent" pool. I have used this option extensively in the past two years resulting in two dead last finishes in the fantasy cup. If you choose not...

I guess somebody has to finish in last place... Again. I'm in!

its all in the title The name of the book is "Playing With Trains." Not "building a model railroad empire" or "my hobby." Everyone enjoys life in a different way.

Reply to Thread Dave: your nuumbers cover accidental deaths only. What about intentional ones? By doctors or guns? First they went after the smokers. I didn't say anything because I don't smoke. Then they went after the SUV drivers. I didn't say anything because I don't drive an SUV...

miss information The study is real, and as we can all attest, it is possible, even easy to read in under those conditions. What is not stated, is that one must already be a proficient reader in order to make sense of the jumbled words. I think TC hit the nail on the head, it is courteous to...

I haven't been in Japan since '93. I thought "iku" was the verb "to go." "Densha wa doko desuka?" was the first Japanese phrase I learned. A very important phrase to know. "Yokosuka o ikutai." was the second. (I lived in Yokosuka) Actually got to practice a little bit of my Japanese...

Small layout- can be operated by one only person. More people will just get in the way. Medium layout- can be operated by one person, but can be operated more fully by more than one person. Large layout- must have more than one person to operate. although cyb0rg's are catchier. sore...

Warning: Large pdf file. http://www.balluff.com/Sensors2003/Photoelectrics/03_Miniature/MiniOpto.pdf of course, small also means quite expensive. full systems With amplifiers, power supplies, sensors and fiber cables start around US$350, and can go up to US$3,500.

The perception of dorkiness and geekdom comes from those who don't know when to shut-up. I find that most people want few details. Nobody wants to know that its not an engine, its a locomotive. Nobody wants to hear about your three year long search for a RI caboose with the proper handwheel...

drink a few beers and forget about it.

<I>Has anyone got the look of a finished layout, let alone one with a finished furniture look??? hehehehehe </I> The benchwork must be completed first, which dictates the final deminsions of the layout in a fairly rigid manner. The good part is that the wife remains happy. I have some plans...

Well, The whole family is now relocated to Hillsborough, North Carolina. I am officially housed, jobbed and Vehicled. The good news is I have half a basement to build a workshop in and half a bonus room to build a new layout in. The move went as well as could be expected and most of my...

:eek: If your wife has a tail, I think you have bigger problems. :D

Durham, NC is my destination. Probably south Durham, somewhere between RTP and UNCCH. RTP is the most likely place to find work, and my wife will be finishing her pharmacology degree at UNCCH. I took a brief trip to Durham and Charlotte a few weeks ago, I can't believe how beautiful...

Belated thanks Thanks so much. Been so busy trying to get my house ready for sale and preparing to move to North Carolina, that I haven't been here much lately. The good news is, that I have been promised a room for my hobbies in the new house. The bad news is I probably won't be able to...

Wow! That is absolutely spectacular. And your website is great too! Where do you find the time? Have you decided on an industry for the briefcase yet? The "Giant Lima Bean" farm does have some humor appeal but perhaps something a little less Woody Allen would be better. keep up the...
