Hello again ladies and gents

I come to you today pray for my stomach I had 2 crunchwrap supremes from taco spell and my gut is working forced over time with no benefits lol. Next on the docket I want to apologize to any and all I have offended with my shenanigans. I am working on toning it down to a small squeak. next up for the British and British sympathizers when looking at locos and rolling stock what era is it where they still had separate colors like cr lner lms, ect. I like British trains and wanna eventually get some models but as I don't know jack nothing about eras and all that all I'm finding are black logs for locos lol.

for the baseball side I want the blue Jays to go all that way dodgers have been good the last few years but for me its getting like college football o whoes going to the championship this year is it bama Georgia or Ohio state for the 10th freaking year in a row.

you'd expect pebto to have a sweet buble gum flavor or something but nooooo it has to be liquid Satan's anus

but nooooo it has to be liquid Satan's anus

Ive heard it described as tasting like many things, but never this!

Here's a quick read. I guess anything before British Rail was established.

Model Railway Era's explained | EWRM : Enfield Whitewebbs Railway Modellers

We talk about era's in terms of model railways which are basically the periods in which key types of railway traction and changes occurred as the railways evolved. With our Running Days we theme these during the year to each of the major e

You worry too much. Many of us have stepped over the line. What matters is recognizing it and doing better. You fit right in.

As for smart phones, stick with what you know.

My old friend is all but illiterate when it comes to technology, but he loves his I phone. He has always had an Apple phone, and he is used to it.

I have always had an Android phone. I now have my wife's hand me down S23 Ultra, I can't make heads or tails of it. I can use the Amazon App, make calls, send texts, and take photos. So much for Ultra. I'll give it credit for being easy to figure things out, they do make it easy.

"Accidental Screen Touch Protection" WTF and why can't I get past it? When my wife finally got me past it, it was easy to figure out how to disable it. Who comes up with this !

For those interested in European trains (including those in the US Market, like various Siemens), this is a cool site:

Train type Index

Our extensive list of rolling stock classes, made in Europe:tip: use CTRL+F for easy searching (CMD+F on mac)Select your train:

railcolornews.com

It lists train type and then has new and pics of them. It used to be cooler as you can look up individual unit/road number and see user uploaded pics of them over time. That feature may still be available for members, IDK.

From the name I think this is the attempt for the large format screens that have no or limited framing around (screen reaches to the edge or almost to the edge), that accidental touches on the edge, like the ice of your hand or whatever, don't register as touches. The iPhone has something similar in it so that if you're hand is too big or whatever and the side of your hand touches the edge of the phone you don't accidentally do some action.

Probably a good idea, but once it activates, I can't open my phone. My cold, semi-numb fingers struggle with being recognized. I handed it to my wife she swipes once and hands it back. It is off now!

good morning fam

about the phone topic. well i started with Android for years. then someday, i got a mac book pro for my dj stuff. then i got a ipad for my tv chilling on a sofa stuff (haha). and now i own a iphone for maybe 5? years, its just a Iphone SE, so the "cheap" version. but it works and i like it. Maybe that means i have feelings

on the other hand? Iam at home, home office. outside its raining, maybe the first time in weeks i would say. today "should" be the day my Rio Grande Scaletrains Engine should arrive. thnx to this forum i found one! iam really happy. now i just have to find a story, why a tunnel motor is on my canadian style layout

any ideas?

Wish you all a great day.

cheers
Marco

@Kusojiji After @santafewillie alluded to Cujo having some kind of negative meaning In Japanese I'm not going to use that anymore. I followed Willie's advice; I did not look it up. I'd rather not know.

I'm going with Kogi, it just popped into my head. like Cujo did, This time I asked Copilot for the meaning in Japanese. Before putting my foot into my mouth.

Here is the answer from Copilot:
The term "kogi" (古義) in Japanese can refer to "official authority" during the middle and early modern ages. Additionally, it can also mean "old meaning" or "ancient meaning" when referring to the kanji 古義. Thus, "kogi" has historical significance and can denote both authority and a sense of antiquity in meaning.
Japanese Wiki

That not only fits my strange sense of thinking, but it also fits our esteemed member of this forum.

What do you think Kogi, you cool with that? You are an official authority and a bit of an antique.

Good morning, Everybody!

If you have ever wondered what some baseball players are thinking during the idle time waiting on the bench for their turn at bat. See my previous post for some insight. Letting your mind wonder takes some of the pressure off. When you step into hole and then the on-deck circle it's time to bear down and see what the pitcher and the defense are doing.

This is what happens when I don't have a baseball game to analyze.

Time to get ready for work. Like stepping into the hole, it's time to focus!

Have an enjoyable day Everybody!
