Hey Rex no I didn't bring back any extra cash I only gambled $10 (big gambler I know). I was more into checking out all the craziness out there, like the roller costers inside casinos and on top of them. Awesome stuff, also picked up a bridge out there to fit on my track; talk about luck. Anyways how's the rework coming on your track??
 
Nick, I always wanted to go out there and see all the fantastic sights. I like to play cards, but I am a nickel and dimer. I use to have fun on the slots when I was in the Air Force clubs, but again...nickels and dimes.:D

I'm still busy on the rework, with all the main track done on the coalmine rework (I have to order some TO's for the sidings) and can get back over to the steelmill. I have almost reached the point that I have to do some scenery (hills w/tunnel) before I can finish laying track in the steel town.:)
 
Yea Rex I'm the same way I play the penny slots and the cheapest blackjack tables. Sounds like your making some progress on your re-work, now that I'm back in the MR mode I'll shoot some pictures tonight and send them to you and CJ.
 


Afternoon
Nick
Rex

nothing new today, another Groundhog Day just devouring a bowl of ice cream and jelly, jello or what ever you giys call it, it's the green wobbly type, very tasty, Mmmm
 
Long day at school.... Especially for a retired teacher. Had sound checks and set up all day. Went to load some canned sound tracks on my laptop (iTunes) to accompany some small ensembles and dance routines and my old laptop couldn't open iTunes and wouldn't even shut down. I force quit everything I could, and it said that iTunes was open and couldn't be shut down. I finally unplugged the 500 gig HD that I keep all my tunes on and it gave me a "you have been a bad boy and didn't put away the HD properly (actually I had) and then it shut down. However it refused to find the HD when I rebooted. Tried to repair permissions twice and it wouldn't complete the process. I finally started iTunes and it ran without the HD but of course had no songs as they are on the 500 gig HD. Was able to finish the rehearsal just playing the songs on the CD's in iTunes. I brought the HD home with me and plugged it into my G5 Mac at home (the laptop is an ancient G4) it still wouldn't load but did mess up the system profiler so that it couldn't find any info about the Firewire system. Changed the cord on the HD with another Firewire cord and ..... Whalla! it works. Don't you just love technology? My blood pressure will be back to normal in a couple of hours. I will run Disk Warrior on the laptop while rehearsal is going on tomorrow and rebuild the HD directory. I am not used to the Mac doing anything but working flawlessly and on those rare instances that something like this happens, I tend to panic.:eek: :eek: :D

BTW Rex, I hit the Panic Button to send a message to Bergie (probably one of a hundred or so) to let him know that Big Al was having a bad day over there. Got a "thank you" in my mailbox today from him. I have gotten so that I spend less and less time over there as there seems to be a wealth of that kind of thing going on as well as tons of very bad advise from people who have no clue. Sad as I used to love that forum. This one is now home and I check out the other one from time to time.
