13-9 18:16:51	craZ13	Bye guyz
13-9 18:06:01	GNFan	Okay. ZU next time.
13-9 18:05:02	DAZed	oops sorry multitasking....guess we can call it a day
13-9 17:57:48	GNFan	Doug, anything still to discuss or is it quitting time?
13-9 17:56:26	GNFan	Later, Thom.
13-9 17:55:57	rvn2001	Well guyz. I think I'm going to go check to zee that all of my trainz are ztill running. Z Y'all later.
13-9 17:55:37	GNFan	I need to better organize my train stuff, too.
13-9 17:54:06	DAZed	I'm mostly trying to go through my stuff to find items to sell, but agreed.
13-9 17:44:46	rvn2001	Organizational work makes it easier to run trains and do projects later.
13-9 17:43:41	DAZed	The wife was away for a few days so I thought I might get some MRR time. I did some organizational work with the trains but that was about it. Worked on some house projects and job search, and watched football for a good bit of the day yesterday.
13-9 17:37:11	rvn2001	I still need to build the second loop module so all of the tools are still with the wood that needs to be cut and assembled.
13-9 17:35:39	rvn2001	If he was working on the car the tools would be there....except for the one that he needed right now..
13-9 17:35:35	DAZed	there is some merit to that. How I address that is one of the bucket style toolboxes. "Project tools" go in those if the project is a longer term deal
13-9 17:35:35	GNFan	That was our mother. When my folks moved from the house where we grew up to a condo, when we asked where some kitchen item could be found, or put away, she'd respond with the location and emphasize "same as in the old house". To my eye, the kitchen layout was different, but not to Mom. :-}
13-9 17:34:20	DAZed	Thom, same with my dad
13-9 17:34:02	rvn2001	True
13-9 17:33:48	DAZed	the labels are really more important when you have a group working
13-9 17:33:48	rvn2001	My Dad used to leave tool around based on the project he was working on.
13-9 17:32:58	rvn2001	I "tend" to do that...without the label maker.
13-9 17:32:43	DAZed	I'm not close to 100% following that, but I try very hard
13-9 17:31:51	DAZed	I am a firm believer in "a place for everything, everything in its place". I was not always, was not raised in that environment
13-9 17:30:29	DAZed	truth
13-9 17:30:14	rvn2001	That's the hard part, Doug
13-9 17:29:46	rvn2001	That's why I label the transformers that I use for train shows.
13-9 17:29:44	DAZed	and, they'll know where to put it BACK
13-9 17:29:16	rvn2001	True.
13-9 17:29:00	DAZed	I'll know, anybody will know is more important
13-9 17:28:08	rvn2001	That way you'll know where to find the label maker.
13-9 17:27:41	DAZed	I didn't label the label maker, but I did label the label maker drawer.
13-9 17:27:33	rvn2001	That sounds like an excellent solution.
13-9 17:26:53	DAZed	at any given time he might have 3 or 4 different people helping him with layout work, and not one of them can find tools or supplies with any bit of efficiency. So I said we need to fix that.
13-9 17:26:19	GNFan	There's no stopping a man with a label maker.
13-9 17:26:16	rvn2001	Did you label the label-maker?
13-9 17:25:30	DAZed	I spent the last two sessions wielding a label maker
13-9 17:24:49	rvn2001	Hers is a lost cause...
13-9 17:24:16	DAZed	understood. In helping out my friend with his layout, I have shifted from overpass builder to layout organization consultant...similar situation.
13-9 17:23:15	rvn2001	Nope
13-9 17:22:58	GNFan	So the villain can't blame "those darn kids"
13-9 17:22:48	rvn2001	She's not extremely organized
13-9 17:22:11	rvn2001	Mee too, Doug.
13-9 17:21:55	rvn2001	Get it running at more prototypical speed..
13-9 17:21:53	DAZed	glad the mystery was solved without involving the authorities or Scooby Doo.
13-9 17:21:23	GNFan	The GN Regional is warmed up, and moving faster than at first, so I cranked down the throttle a notch or two.
13-9 17:17:32	rvn2001	Yup
13-9 17:17:12	GNFan	"Right where she left them."
13-9 17:16:33	rvn2001	Correct. They were in a box at her house in Indy.
13-9 17:16:01	GNFan	So they're not in MO nor Chattanooga. :-}
13-9 17:15:13	rvn2001	She thought that she might have left them here after the NTS. I reminded her that she didn't bring them to the NTS because I brought mine.
13-9 17:14:24	rvn2001	There is a cable mounted to 1 of the single modules attached the correct way for dual mainline operation.
13-9 17:14:03	GNFan	I suppose they are harder to find....
