Good morning guys, ah well, good afternoon,
Say Flo & Francine how are you doing? Looks like it's a fairly decent day with some sun a a few clouds but it fairly cool with a temp of 55°F inside the back porch, WndgrndW says it's 63.3°F which is interesting as the high was only supposed to br 57°F? with a low of 41°F tonight. At least they make their guesstimation errors known.
I check the hydraulic clutch on my car this morning and it's was working fine as compared to the day after the new Master cylinder was replaced when I lost the tension against the the clutch pedal as it was depressed like it should have been and fortunately is again.
Also in the calamity of things yesterday my power steering pump began squealing again as it had also developed a fairly good leak at a prior time and I had purchased a bottle of Jones Transmission sealer David, my mechanic recommended and he said I should add about a third of a bottle to the pump so that's what I did yesterday and worked the steering back and forth from lock to lock a couple of times and then drove the car down the twisty back road where I live and today it also seems fine when I started the engine, thank God!!

On the layout scene, I took another look at the way I have my Engine House, an Old Original Revell, & turntable set up and may just leave it as it is for now till I get more done on the mainline.
So you can get a better idea of what I'm looking at a pic would be handy to so I'll post one.

This is the first shot I've taken of the upper section at the Ridgecrest Engine House and Turn Table from from this angle or any other for that matter. As you can see I haven't even got any cround cover down yet but that's because it's all in the planning stages. There are some things I don't particular care for about the placement of the TT though.
This new version of Photo Bucket isn't allowing me to post the full size version? I didn't re-size it before downloading and that may be the problem? No, it wants a double before and after the image address! Odd?
For now that's about where I at and need to get to building some more turnouts.
Catch you later

I spent more time on the phone with HP tech support. One of the things they told me to do was download and install an updated BIOS driver. So I did that, and apparently it corrupted something because it wouldn't boot after it tried to restart itself. They said I'd have to have it shipped to their central repair center in Houston. No ******* way!!! I called Buy.com customer service, got an RMA#, and shipped it back for a full refund. Then I went to BestBuy and [reluctantly] bought a Windows 8 machine.
