Mattie is the anti-lab. She wears costumes because she is lazy. Keeping the costume on is easier than the effort it would take to try and get it off.

See:



That picture was taken months ago, but she is lying on the floor right by my feet and that's exactly what she looks like right at this moment.

You may be right about slow financing. Maybe these government bailouts will make it easier for people to get loans.

I know this may backfire on me somehow...but, oh well!

I think there are a few different ways to do it, but I prefer easy cut and paste. Find the post you like, and hit the quote button (as you would when putting a quote in a post to reply to that person).

Copy the quote you want, with the QUOTE] [/QUOTE on either end of the quote.

Go into your signature, which can be found under your control panel.

Paste the quote into your signature.

Lots of power is an understatement! Each locomotive has 4400 hp, and we sometimes have up to nine of them on our trains, they don't even go over 900 rpms either

Thanks for the compliments. I'm trying to keep it thorough because of others interest in the project, and to help out others that may do it in the future. I'm willing to help and give advice to anyone taking on the conversion.

I wish I could fall asleep that fast. Even on a good night, it takes me at least 15-20 minutes. I have a hard time shutting my mind off most of the time. I lay in bed and start thinking about everything. I can't figure out how to just shut off the mind.

I'd say you made a good choice. I reasearched plasma vs LCD heavily last year, as the ex wanted to buy a new TV...which she did. A nice 65" plasma...that she obviously took with her when she moved out only a few weeks later. Anyway, I found the plasma to be the preferred TV, with a lot of that having to do with being able to be viewed well from multiple angles.

I'd agree. It hasn't felt like much of a weekend at all for me, since I was helping Jeff move both days, all day. I'm pretty worn out now, muscles are sore, and we've got a little more to move tomorrow evening.

Randy has a few locomotive pistons he wants to make into bar stools, if that gives you any idea.
