    Good morning. It’s cloudy and 76, with a chance of hurricanes later in the week. Today started poorly for many of us on the road. Somebody rolled their car over in the middle of the highway, resulting in the road being totally shut down. I, and a couple thousand of my new closest friends, had to...

    If you feel like messing with it, you could install a series of fence posts next to the steps so the tops are between waist and chest high, and secure a chain along the tops of the fence posts. It's cheaper than a handrailing, and is not something your neighbors would have--as well as being...

    I went to my not-so-LHS yesterday morning, exchanged my defective and not-decoders. I got a refund for the not-decoder, and the replacement decoder is now controlling my MILW FP45. I also picked up an 8-car set of Kato UP passenger cars while I was there. When I got home, I got a pleasant...
