Well then the 2 people I have know are below average because winning the lottery for them was nothing but positive. I never met the brother of a employee but he won $250,000 in a scratch ticket around 2000. Had no job but purchased a $300,000.00 house that he would have lost if his brother hadn’t purchased it from him before the foreclosure. I blame a greedy bank for that one
yeah, any acetone based cleaner should work. Fingers will come apart again -- ust soak in water for a while and the skin expansion will loosen them. The more important thing with CA are the fumes. Avoid CA fumes! They tend to cause an allergy build up when one is exposed to them a lot over time.
I keep a 9v battery operated fan on my workbench to push away fumes. I dislike using CA but for 3D resin it works pretty good.
Dave, thanks. We try to treat our employees the way I wanted to be treated by my bosses. My brother was great to all his employees but me, and all these years later it still hurts. I had a job when we 1st moved to North Central Wisconsin in the 70’s where the lower level managers (me) who did the work were treated like crap. We try to avoid that. We have nobody other then the property manager called a manager and that title will now disappear. We are not perfect and I am disliked by a few of the staff. Terry though is seemed to be loved by all, even me.
So sorry to read this George. May she be in good spirits and be thankful you were there. May I ask how old?
We are both to old to have a broken hip. I was working on the layout heard a crash upstairs. She said, I tripped over Val one of our dogs.
. I started out gauging the wheels and track, both OK. I ran a small screwdriver along the inside track in case it was ballast driven. Then, I tested each loco separately 3 times in each direction- no derails (at 20 smph). I then ran the AB with no difficulties in either direction at 20 smph. I then added the other A unit. I ran it forward and reverse 2 times at 20 smph with no issue. I ran it the 3rd time it derails the front truck on the lead locomotive
.
The units are joined close together with manufacturer couplers. The lead loco derails in the straight level section after a increasing height (curve upward 2% incline) of a 28" radius curve. At this point tomorrow I plan on taking one of the couplers off and figure out if I need to order a longer shank. More to follow.
Curt, I am having this experience with my old Varney 4-6-0:Afternoon All,
Started out with a 2 mile walk this morning then did a couple of small chores. In the train room I've had a head scratching day. I have started running locos I havent run in awhile and today I was running a Genesis F3 ABA set. In one small section of track behind a coal mine the lead unit always derailed (20 smph) in the same spot (of course in the madatory pain in the butt area to get to). There were no issues in the past
The 3 units will run through at 15 smph.
TomO- That is going to be a neat build. What's happening with the "farm" has to be tough to deal with mentally.
George- I am sorry to hear what happened to your wife, Saying prayers for here. Would she be able to use a walker long enough to get theough the doorway?
Snowman- I'm glad your Mom is OK.
Smudge- Very cool video.
Patrick- When I was in PM school I was working as a EMT but several times I had to take leave to be able to do required field clinicals.
Guy- Nice 1:1 photos.
Dave- Neat photos. I downloaded "photo & picture resizer premium" on my phone. It's like $5 a year. I use it on all my photos (cell phone) which I resize (under 1 MB) before posting.
Willie- Nice job on the build. Those long pipes are strange.
James- I'm glad you were able to recover your photos.
I hope everyone has a good night.
That's a very difficult situation. You have my deepest sympathies.
George: If the hip is like anybody else's replacement - They will want her to be walking the next or the day after. Sure there is going to be some physical pain from the surgery, so keep ahead of that. Mom did almost the same thing 9 years ago; missed a step thinking the floor was flat in the motel we stayed in and down she went.
Wow, glad she's ok. Re the bathroom, you'll obviously have to measure it out, wheelchair Vs Door, but you could remove the doorframe and fit a sliding door if you have the space either side, just a thought.
Thanks for everyone's concerns. That what they just told me, she'll be up and walking with a walker the next day.
