I had one lawn to mow plus mine this morning, I got the customers lawn done first. Then got home The Boy and I started ours, got half way done and it started to pour! It only raind 30 min. but it was enough to make the lawn too wet to mow! I cry when we don't get rain for two days, but as soon as I want to do something outside..........It Rains! Went inside and worked on our Aquariums, my sons was a mess totaly cleaned the wet dry filter scraped tha algae of the glass and plucked some hair algae off the live rock. Looks better! Just made a few adjustments to the water, added some needed elements to it and cleaned the skimmer filter. I'm done now time to enjoy watching the fish!
Jim,Sorry about your ball game! I know first hand what Rain+clay='s Crap Soup

Yeah, the MER convention looks like it will be a dandy. I would love to go, but too far. I used to live in Reston back in the days of my gov work.
BTW: Happy Anniversary!
KenL: Your going to love it.
Andy: Glad to see you here.

Uninstall AVG completely then reinstall it. Mine did the same thing after I upgraded from version 7.5 to version 8. Reinstalling took care of it.

You can also try Avast. WWW.Avast.com Free with registration and works great. Always uninstall any old anti-virus software before loading a new one.

While Avast is very good, I've seen it overlook things that AVG picked up.

Good evening one and all!
Jim - I'm such a ditz, I totally forgot to wish you and your lady a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Sorry your game got rained out, but at least your area finally got some...
Rex - Thanks for the MER link, I perused the layout photo section. I might go to it this year, if I can get any of my local mrr friends to go with. It's primarily Virginia modelers, they have their own cliques and I never really felt too comfortable around them. Too bad the Mt Claire Division ceased to exist...
Jeffrey - sounds like you had a very productive day yesterday
Chris, I see you've rediscovered the secret of how to get rain: Just make plans to do something weather-dependent!
Steve - If that guy has the money for a historic jet, he must have one heluva model railroad
About the DCC installation: It took me longer than anticipated to clear away all the old RJ11 [4-wire] phone cables that I used with my CM-20's. Then at lunch I was pressed into honeydoo service, helping Vicky make the house presentable for a gathering she's hosting tomorrow. It was 7:00pm before I finally got back into the trainroom. I trimmed and soldered all the new wires and got everything ready, but I did NOT power it up - I was way too exhausted, and if it fails I want to be well rested enough to think clearly and troubleshoot it. Hopefully that won't be necessary though...

Slow morning here. Forecast is 87 and humid. Kids are in the basement making trees for their old man A couple of dozen should keep them busy for awhile.

Good morning Clubbers!
Here's the verdict on my DCC infrastructure installation:
All the track (including the steel mill) is functional, and my radio receiver unit picks up signals from even the farthest corner of the trainroom...that's the good news. OTOH, the track needs to be more thoroughly cleaned. The steel mill track is so bad that I'm constantly having to nudge the loco and often have to press down on it just to keep it moving. (And this is even after I gave that trackwork what I thought was a good cleaning! ) Also, my 3 (so far) sound-equipped locos can't really be run the way I want to run them, i.e., with momentum. As soon as one of them hits a 'shaky' spot the decoder re-boots, and the engine sits there until it reaches momentum and starts to move slowly...for a few more inches until it hits another weak spot! Oh well, this doesn't upset me too much because I currently don't have (a) the money or (b) adequate space under the shells to fit all my engines with sound. I can survive another few years without it.
Steve - guess I shoulda known, your vulcan friend practices his MR hobby the same way you do - 80% on military toys, 20% on trains!
Gotta go get ready for noon Mass, see you all later!

All new now!
Good morning folks. I'm filling in at work this afternoon, so I have a broken up day. Noon to four is the most worthless shift I've seen. One of my guys is on vacation, so I volunteered.
I will be resuming my bench work assembly line when I get home. It feels good to get something built. I figured out how I wanted to support the legs, so I can start building the rest of the sections. This large space is going to be too small in a couple of days! Jim, I think you warned me about that before.
I hope everyone has a good Sunday, and a great week!

Mornin' clubbers!
Chip!
Glad to see ya back! I have to agree with you about the family moving to Tuscaloosa! Better Rex than me!
KenL;
Sounds like you need to get in there with a block of wood, a 1X2 about 2" long. Turned on end and rubbed on the track, it's abrasive enough to get the dirt and crud off without damaging the track, that is scratching it so even more dirt collects. Its a variation on John Allen's masonite pads.
Jim;
Looks like on radar, yall are getting pounded with storms again. Its supposed to rain like that up here, but so far we've only had some light showers but a lot of thunder. Storms just went north and south of us.
Thanx for the coffee, Flo! Just put it on Chip's bill.
Time to go back downstairs and try to finish up some more projects.
