Back from preop. Nope, no pills, they still want me to tell them where I buried Jimmy Hoffa. Doc told me mix it with lemon lime gatorade and put it in the fridge because it is yummy when cold. It's called Moviprep of all things. Must be the Jimmy Hoffa movie.

Vitals taken at the hospital showed my BP at 148/77, but I had just walked in. They should have waited several minutes before taking it. I measured 117 this morning.

Did get two ribeyes and something called mock tenderloin. Not sure what that is, but it was very cheap. Might be round? I'll give it the normal steak treatment and see how it goes.

The neighbors will think I am weird (or more weird) when I put my feathers on and do my no-rain dance tomorrow.

ignore te trunouts at both ends. just focus on the curve :)
iam testing out a new in development track planer. so i gave it a go to try my new modular setup.
short answer here (rest i will write in my thread) the curve is around 22 inches radius. i think 4axles should work?

Cheers

Good morning all!

Happy Friday!

Its clear and 45F. High for today will reach around 74F under mostly sunny skies. Cant beat this late October weather!

Usual stuff around the house today. Daughter is off school today for parent teacher conferences. Hard to believe 1/4 of the school year is already
done with.

Nothing much else going on at the moment.

Have a safe day everyone!
 
45°F out there right now at 0715. Good Friday morning. Another cut-n-paste weather day. Dry as a bone for at least next 8 days and temps in the mid 70s. The leaves this year are all going to turn brown and fall off the trees. That will be Autumn here this year. No color at all.

Nothing happening here for today. Probably sit outside again and enjoy this temperature today.

Have a safe weekend.

Servus!

Yes 4 axles easily will handle the 22 curve and will look ok. So will the 6 axles but they will not look ok. Too much overhang for 6 axle but they definitely at slower speed work on that curve

You have the room in that turn, may I ask why you are not going bigger? No judgement but you can get anything up to 32” there.
 
I never really listened to or understood lyrics of this song until I heard this version. Tells the story of Vincent Van Gogh. So sad.
