Afternoon all! Nice day today - sunny - maybe 65 degrees later - and then rain possible tonight. Chief - I didn't see that post until a littel while ago - not much I could to what our buddies said. You just have to wonder what miserable life some of those guys lead to act like that. NASCAR...

Afternoon all! Had a good train club meeting this morning. We are approaching 20 members since we reformed the club last fall! Work is progressing on the rebuilt modular layout (16 x 28 feet) for the Thomas event in a couple of weeks. We are rewiring it for faster install and teardown. We got...

Congrats Mikey!

Evening all! OK - we are in trouble now. All the media are set up in a town about an hour west of Ft Worth - waiting for the "blizzard" (remember the prediction from yesterday which has not changed is for maybe an inch - and no accumulation). The evening news here has preempted most of their...

Evening all! Long day here. Some rain this evening and temps in 60's, but supposed to fall tomorrow to high 30's and maybe some SNOHIZO :curse: Scrubbed 3 bathrooms :curse:, mowed front yard (more leaves wall1), cleaned gutters, and watched NASCAR :thumb:. Man #24 & #20 took it in the shorts...

Evening all! Back from Las Vegas and still solvent :thumb: Watching Second Hand Lions. Great movie. These guys in the movie remind me of my great- uncle (and great-aunt) that lived out between Brenham and Bellville on a small farm. He was one tough old guy - journeyman union carpenter by...

Buckeye - I noted the operative words were "might put money" :cry::twisted: John F - Temps are high 40's at night and high 60's/low 70's during the day.

Afternoon all! Quick stop today. Headed for Las Vegas tomorrow for the week for a trade show so I may not have time to read or post. Glad they finally got the race started - but I don't have ESPN anymore so probably will not get to see the end. We had the district competition kickoff for...

Afternoon all! A grand day here today. 50, crisp, and sunny. Supposed to be even nicer tomorrow. Spoke to the Chuef and he will post an update on Dr. John (he is fine). Jeffrey - that backdrop really makes the photo today. Don - no rain yet at the race - sure am glad your friend saved...

Brutus - you are right - I have a 40MB HD on the shelf here with my stack of old PCs/parts. I maintain some of this stuff as I have need every now and then to do something simple with a QBASIC program. You do not get QBASIC on PCs anymore (DOS 5.1 was the last I was told) and if you want to do...

Doug - ALERT - ALERT! Hopefully that TM plan is unlimited! If not you better prepare your kids. At $0.10 per message after the limit - kids run over real quick. Most of their messages go like: Hey? RU there? Yah! Whas up? Seen B lately? etc. Kids can send hundreds of these a day with no...

Doug - how fortunate for you! Raining lightly here today - 45 today. This means it is really cold up Nawth! Jeffrey - good photo this morning! I am glad you can find the time to do the photos. I find it overly tedious to get them off the camera, post them to a web hosting site, and then...

Ozzy - if you are buying a PC for personal use - you can only get Vista. There is another way - go to an electronics discounter in the area - many of them are still selling XP. This is your only option. Brutus - Interestingly - if you buy a Dell PC through the corporate accounts, but only...

Real disaster last night - upgraded to Norton Internet Security 2008 and now my work laptop with Vista will not go to the internet at all (so I guess it is superior internet protection huh?) and Norton tech help has no idea what is causing the problem. I was on the phone with them until nearly 2...
