    Gauge NASCAR Fantasy League

    its still going to be a chevy block and a ford rear end in a spec chassis and Bill France is still going to dictate who wins, so what difference does it make what they call the cars? Juan Montoya is going to do well because they want the hispanic market, and Robby Gordon will do poorly because...

    Dont you hate being ignored?

    I have run into a couple of shops that were just a place to store someone's collection. It had grown to an amazing size and so they opened a store. Of course they don't want to part with any of their wonderful things and anyone who comes sniffing around should be discouraged from buying...

    A bit of a rant....

    As I do not have the talent to compose and submit, I feel like I lack the authority to judge the work of others. I enjoy all the pics and think you're all winners.

    Mannnn I really hate it when they do this!

    The trip from williams to the Grand Canyon is great fun. From the coaches and locomotives they use to the people who provide the show. My son still talks about getting robbed on the way back from the rim. No mention of the river, the mules, the canyon anything else, just the robbery on the...

    Washing Machine Hoses

    Steel braided supply hoses are available for a bit of a premium (about twice as much as regular cloth reinforced water hoses) and are much more resistant to rupture. http://www.plumbingsupply.com/flexes.html#washingmachinehose

    Gauge NASCAR Fantasy League

    looks like only 3 disputed drivers, Edwards, Gordon (Jeff) and Martin. My early large bid for Jeff Gordon paid off! :p I guess no one is afraid of Edwards' sophmore slump and, Shirley, Mark Martin is worth more than $6! :eek: (he is, and don't call me Shirley...) I'm feeling good about...

    Model Railroader Magazine

    I gave the DVD to a neighborhood teenager interested in model railroading. I wrote in my vote to keep it and not subscribe on the original replay card and have heard nothing since. Of course, any mail I recieve with bulk postage is torn in to little pieces and tossed in the trash, so it is...

    A very general/specific question

    Always start with a plan. I've built two small layouts and am in planning for my third. I always start with a plan. Painstakingly laid and thought out, designed to death with every contingency accounted for and a raft of solutions for all of the possible stumbling blocks. I've never actually...

    Going to Cali... I think so...

    Of the theme parks listed, the San Diego Zoo is the most interesting. Although I would recomend the Wild Animal Park above that. Disneyland, on a weekend or holiday is not worth it. Go on a Tuesday or Wednesday if you can. SeaWorld and the San Diego zoo are in San Diego, about a 90 minute...

    I can console myself with the knowledge that my drivers have scored the most points, even if I'm only in fourth place. Oh, yeah, and one of my guys is leading the championship. :p
