I figured I'd find it eventually by doing a search on Monkey Face.

Ha! You cannot hide from me!

Stand back, I've got a ton of stuff to shred. The boss cleaned out his drawers, so now its all on my desk!

I've been away for a couple of days, following the Alito hearings and dealing with my daughter.

Nice digs you all found!

Garden railroading is growing. Because of the difficulties with running electricity through exposed rails outdoors, many garden-railroaders use larger-scale models that can house rechargeable batteries and run them via radio remote rather than through-the-track power. The larger scale track and rolling stock are also preerred for their greater durability in an outdoor environment. A few have even discovered that animals, both wild and domesticated, are REAL threats to their down-scaled rail empires. Your resident viking kitty really DOES look fearsome to the brakeman on a G-scale garden pike!

I've seen video cameras advertised for use in HO-scale trains, though, if you mounted it in the cab, it'd have to be a modern diesel or a Souther Pacific cab-forward for you to have much of a view. I know I've seen at least one ad where the camera came pre-mounted with the lens poking out the nose of a locomotive -- presumably you could chose the roadname and paint scheme. That would at least provide an unobstructed view of the tracks.

I like your through-the-widshield idea, too, but I'd like to see it applied to larger, gas-powered RC racers.

I hope Roe v Wade gets reversed.

I'll nose around this weekend and let you know what I dig up.

You may not hear from me until Monday, though. My home computer's 120GB drive went into the throes of death on Wednesday and gave me just enough time to recover and migrate the newest 30MB of data to my backup drive before it yielding to the dreaded "Click-click of Death". So, I'll be spending some time shopping for and installing a new hard drive in the home 'puter. With luck I'll be back on-line tomorrow afternoon, but alot of that depends upon the other family members' plans.

Right now, I'm gonna bug, get a bite and commute.

Bye all!

Hi Everyone!

The other day, a FReeper told me the term 'no one' was not correct grammar.

Can anyone tell me why?

And, did anyone check out the folding@home thread?

LOL! HO-scale railroad, my friend.

Gotta run. Later.

Howya fan!!

I dunno, if you can't say 'no one', then what can you say?
