    The Smarrco R.R.

    Yup, mag wire begs for a solder pot. Little ones can be had ~$50 or so. Bar solder is the spendy part. Once you get one, you will find a whole bunch of other stuff to use with it. Oh, I have been known to strip 30ga wire wrap wire tooo... Funny thing about the solder pot, if you do strip stuff...

    Willie: I'm seeing an ad 'bar' that slides up at the bottom of the screen every time I go to a new page or thread. Pop-ups are blocked in Firefox, so I assume it is not my side of things... For giggles and grins I will try DuckDuckGo and see what shakes out. Firefox is becoming pretty bloated...

    Yup, a 'clickable' to enter - great and simple. Bot's still can not click ( mouse down ) on the screen anywhere ...yet. Site is screaming, got through a bunch of posts and threads in 1/4 of the time previously. Now if the 'scroll-up' thingie on the bottom of the page can go away.... or at least...

    Good Morning All! 50F @ 87% mo rain again. Down to the upper 40's at night, 60 to 70F daytime all this week according to the guessers. Did I see a site message something to the effect of 'Site is down for a database update' about 1700 Mountain yesterday? I was googling something and in the...

    Good Morning All! 52F @ 74% bright stars. Ran out of sleep about an hour ago, no clue to the why part. Yesterday brought back a ton of [bad] memories, we were both glued to the TV watching the 9/11 remembrance. Still almost cried even 25 years later. I was up 25 years ago bout 0500 and...

    Good Afternoon All! 61F @ 70% partly Welp, you know how the Hot Water Tank breaks when the Kitchen Faucet does? Microwave started emitting smoke, loud hum and Flames. Flames were contained inside which is a good thing. So. What is next? That Atty that magically assumed that the Jury was 11 to...

    Good Morning All! 46F @ 73% mostly clear. Guessers say more rain today and tomorra. Boy, General Discussions is getting spammed. Took me awhile to figure out how to 'ignore' a user: never done that before! @bnsf971 and/or @bob are not to be seen - must be having a great weekend! L8r

    Good Morning All! 52F @ 80% and raining! Actually has been raining here and there for the last couple days. Needed it. Forum has been ok, have not seen the db error, but does slow down at times. @TLOC Apple Yard is/was a fun place. For those interested: Get on the South side of the river and...

    Good Morning All! 54F @ 57% cloudy. Rained 10 drops yesterday - need mo. Has anyone tried AiStudios for simple image creation? Did some looking and images are free - video is another story. Anyway, how much spam do y'all get from any of the AI widgets even if you 'opt out' of the...

    Good Morning All! 57F @ 50% dark, can see stars between the clouds. To be only 70F-ish later with possible rain. Faucet arrived yesterday am. Am amazed how FedEx can sneak in when we are watching for them. Took about 1/2 hour to get it installed and sink put back together. This faucet is one of...

    Good Morning All! 56F @ 49% clear. Only to 72F today. Sure wish we had more information on the problems we are getting here. At least what is going to be attempted to get it fixed.

    Good Morning All! 58F @ 53% clear with stars. HW tank is almost out of the dungeon. Drained/Pumped the water out of which there was very little sludge in the pan used to drain and pump from. Cheapo pump for fish tanks .. etc and it took awhile. After that I could barely move the thing. Did get...

    Good Morning All! 54F @ 59% cloudy with some drips. Yesterday: After my post, I had to run to Ponderay for parts for the new faucet. ACE here didn't have squat, so HD. Got back noonish and started on the project. You know how when the refer breaks, so does the stove? Had the sink pulled so I...

    Tom: The pix you showed is pretty much what you get. Foss River Road is just out of Sky on US2 east bound before Tye River. This is one that you have to go and see as none of the Google/Bing camera cars have been that way. Besides, you have to walk on the side of the RoW for a bit to see...

    Ima Back - forgot: The ideas some of you gave me for the tomatoes worked like a charm. We removed almost all of the little ones. Bingo, the bigger ones are now getting red with no rot on the bottom's. Come to find out Lil likes tomatoes; green better than red(ish); raspberry's, blueberries too...

    The 5 Mile Railroad

    Dave - you might consider: What is your INet connection out speed? If above 50Meg and your provider can give you a 'sticky' IP, roll your own server. Sure, could be a tad slow at times but at least folks can still see ya. Static IP's usually mean some sort of business class which ups the price...

    Good Morning All! 63F @ 54% raining - not hard/much but will take anything. Hope it keeps up for a few hours. Deer Creek fire looks to be out or near out. On the way to Kal, you could not see 100 ft around you near Happy's cuz of smoke. On the way back a couple hours later, it was pretty much...

    Good Morning All! 55F @ 44% looks pretty clear - nice stars! Forum looks to be clicking right along. Great! Was gonna go to Spo to our special butcher for KC Bacon and links. Decided to wait until next month for those. So, off to Kal for HD, CostCo, probably Albertson's. HD for more 12/2 as...

    Good Morning All! 57F @ 58% still a little smoke in the upper atmosphere. Can see the near by hills/mountains pretty clear. I ended up staying 'logged in' all night. Tried to 'logout' multiple times with the dreaded db error message, so gave up closing FF. Forum is loosing folks, there is...
