| 29-10 1:55:00 | DAZed | that's Senator Welsch |
| 29-10 1:54:34 | GNFan | Hi, Thom. |
| 29-10 1:54:28 | GNFan | or Doug. |
| 29-10 1:54:21 | GNFan | Hi, Dooug. |
| 29-10 1:54:14 | GNFan | <---- finally crawls into chat (router trouble) |
| 29-10 1:53:57 | rvn2001 | Hi Mike. |
| 29-10 1:53:43 | DAZed | Miiike!!! |
| 29-10 1:51:56 | DAZed |
So can I expect some ad dollars from Stony Smith Models?  Maybe you can earn your keep.... |
| 29-10 1:48:19 | DAZed | and yes, some AI tokens likely for thumbnail creation, help with scripts, etc. |
| 29-10 1:47:22 | DAZed | I would like to "break even" so get maybe enough sponsorship that I can pay for production costs, hosting fees, maybe some equipment like better mics and so forth. Just so that I can keep it going and lean on some cloud services to make it easier/quicker to get episodes done. |
| 29-10 1:45:44 | DAZed | I don't really expect to make any money. This is more about just breaking out of my comfort zone a bit, having some fun, promoting the hobby a little bit. |
| 29-10 1:44:40 | DAZed | shares aren't cheap |
| 29-10 1:44:19 | DAZed | ha, sure if you invest early |
| 29-10 1:44:09 | rvn2001 | Gordon Robinson, N.M.R.A. president, suggested that I should do one of their NMRAeX? videos about Z scale. |
| 29-10 1:43:55 | stonysmith | you know... "talent" is expensive.. |
| 29-10 1:43:35 | stonysmith | do we get a share of the $$$$ from what this channel is going to rake in? |
| 29-10 1:42:10 | ejshelton | We have been and have had a few interesting members....lol |
| 29-10 1:41:04 | DAZed |
anyway, we can show a lot of B-roll footage and just let you talk over it if stage fright is the problem...  |
| 29-10 1:39:29 | rvn2001 | True, we have been around for a while. |
| 29-10 1:39:08 | DAZed | *your many layouts |
| 29-10 1:38:56 | DAZed | well, I mean just to tell the story about your history in Z, or chat about your models, or you many layouts....y'all have lots of good stories and good history and so forth. |
| 29-10 1:37:49 | rvn2001 | What club? The MidweZt HaulerZ is a group and we've mostly, stopped doing shows as a group. |
| 29-10 1:37:19 | DAZed | what is it...Midwest Z Haulers? |
| 29-10 1:36:42 | DAZed | haha, well Thom you might have to be the representative for your club. |
| 29-10 1:35:09 | ejshelton | NOT |
| 29-10 1:35:09 | DAZed | anyway, I'm somewhat kidding about the full-court press.....no pressure, but I would love to have y'all on soon. |
| 29-10 1:34:08 | DAZed | and Ellen would be a star as a woman in Z, what a great story to tell. |
| 29-10 1:33:35 | rvn2001 | nicely |
| 29-10 1:33:28 | rvn2001 |
I can clean-up nicelt |
| 29-10 1:31:24 | DAZed | that's more of a statement about the others being unkempt, but still.... |
| 29-10 1:29:39 | DAZed | Thom, as model train YouTube guests go, you would make the calendar sir! Top 12! |
| 29-10 1:25:52 | rvn2001 |
I have a great face for RADIO |
| 29-10 1:24:53 | DAZed | As long-tenured Z-scalers, you can all expect the full-court-press from me to participate as guests on occasion. |
| 29-10 1:22:22 | DAZed | I hope so. My real concern is just having time to do it. Especially when I get a real job again. |
| 29-10 1:20:56 | rvn2001 | Sounds like it's going to be a good channel. |
| 29-10 1:20:31 | DAZed | But I have a lot more planned. |
| 29-10 1:20:18 | DAZed | talking about the models, and then showing prototypes that they are representing, talking about the era's and such. |
| 29-10 1:19:35 | DAZed | For starters, it's just going to be AZL announcement videos that drop on the 1st and 15th |
| 29-10 1:19:22 | stonysmith | 20+ miles.. no hopping |
| 29-10 1:19:02 | stonysmith |
since my neice is also a candidate... I'll be going to south fort worth instead of irving  |
| 29-10 1:18:14 | DAZed | *it's exciting |
| 29-10 1:18:02 | DAZed | Thanks, I'm exciting. It's something I've been working toward for a couple of years now, under the radar. I figure it's now or never. |
| 29-10 1:16:43 | ejshelton | Cool Doug |
| 29-10 1:16:40 | rvn2001 | I would feel obligated to go to the brother-in-law's party. |
| 29-10 1:16:11 | DAZed | Stony, can you party hop? |
| 29-10 1:16:07 | rvn2001 | Good to hear, Doug! |
| 29-10 1:15:36 | DAZed | well I mentioned a surprise announcement a couple of weeks back....still haven't made it official yet, but I'm starting a YouTube Channel about Z (and some N and other stuff) Model Trains. More details soon, but I'm hoping to have my first video out within the week. |
| 29-10 1:15:30 | stonysmith | (he's a candidate too) |
| 29-10 1:15:17 | stonysmith | should I go to hers, which will be more classy... or go to my brother-in-laws watch party? |
| 29-10 1:14:33 | stonysmith | I got an invitation to a candidate's watch party |
