I always had to cut the filament at an angle with my mini.

Apple Computer, Inc. was founded on April 1, 1976, by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne as a partnership in Los Altos, California, with the goal of marketing Wozniak's Apple I desktop computer. The company was officially incorporated on January 3, 1977, in Cupertino, California.
Ronald Wayne left the company just days after its founding, selling his 10% stake back to Jobs and Wozniak for $800.
Jobs and Wozniak began building the Apple I in Jobs' garage, selling it as a bare motherboard with a CPU, RAM, and basic video capabilities, requiring users to add their own keyboard and monitor. The operation of building the computer moved from Jobs bedroom to the garage after running out of room.

I'll bet Ronald Wayne is still kicking himself in the A$$.............

We had all the founders and early (1980's) tech pioneers of Silicon Valley coming into the club to eat and conduct business.
Bob Noyce, Bill Hewlett, Nolan Bushnell, Jerry Sanders, Larry Ellison, etc.

Well its Official, our mail carrier is an idiot. Mailbox was full tonight, all from houses 1/4 mile away. Wife and I took a nice walk after dinner stuffing neighbors mailboxes with misguided mail. Nice walk on a pleasant evening, but totally unnecessary. Question is, did we get any mail today? The other question is , is this a direct result of the gubberment shut down? After all, if I'm not getting paid why should I give a ?

On the train side of things, the second run of Rapidos 44 tonners are (according to the web site) here and going through final inspection and QC at their HQ. It has been a year since I pre-ordered mine, can't wait for the call from my not so local LHS. Expect a glut of Bachmann 44 tonners on the secondary market soon!

ROAD HEAD FOR THE WIN!!!

gawd why did bench seats go out of style lol its all fun until its a manual and you knock them out shifting lol that would be my luck anyway lol

 

[AuburnCentral]

Is there any car or truck with a bench seat. Maybe that’s a way they took some weight out of the car. Also it lets both sides to be adjusted on their own

12 hour shift today, but didn't feel like going home after, so down to Perryville, Maryland i went to check out the action on Northeast Corridor. MARC commuter train was sitting by the platform awaiting departure and a southbound Amtrak. I took the opportunity to get a few close up shots of MP36 diesel:

Look at all that piping:

The crew were chilling on the south side of the train, so i took a very rare opportunity and shot a low side view on the busiest tracks in the US:

Meanwhile a couple of northbounds came by:

Except for the trains themselves, everything here is Pennsy; the tracks, the position signaling, the catenary and huge substation in the back.

An inbound shot of MARC coming in from Baltimore:

The pictures are not in order.

1st truck, 1976 F-150 with a 360, 4 speed on the floor,and a bench seat. Never knocked anyone out with it. My hand was known to slip from the shifter to a knee once in a while!

The new Scouts coming out in 2027 offer a bench seat.

After a while, the driver's side of the bench would turn into a bucket anyway...

The first stick I learned on was my dad’s 73 lime green ford, straight 6 with a 3 on the tree. I would stand beside the engine straddling the cross member to give it a tune up

I have a 1989 Chevy with a 5 speed, a 4.3L, 6 cylinder engine. I have climbed inside the engine compartment to change the plugs,
And it has a very comfortable bench seat.
