| 2-7 1:04:53 | ejshelton | Hi Mike and Thom |
| 2-7 1:04:51 | GNFan | Hi, Ellen. |
| 2-7 1:04:41 | rvn2001 | Hi Ellen. |
| 2-7 1:04:21 | GNFan | While much of the country bakes, here it's 66 degrees and overcast. |
| 2-7 1:03:36 | rvn2001 | How is Mike this prevening? |
| 2-7 1:03:08 | rvn2001 | Hi Mike. |
| 2-7 1:03:02 | GNFan | Hi, Thom. |
| 28-6 18:13:22 | rvn2001 | Later |
| 28-6 18:13:09 | GNFan | Seems so, Thom. ZU next time. |
| 28-6 18:11:52 | rvn2001 | Well........it looks like it's you and me, Mike. Shall we call it done? |
| 28-6 18:09:17 | rvn2001 | Have a nice nap, Ellen. |
| 28-6 18:08:49 | rvn2001 | ....could be.......... |
| 28-6 18:08:07 | ejshelton | So it must be time for my nap since they all think I'm old |
| 28-6 18:07:32 | ejshelton | No they didn't.... |
| 28-6 18:06:56 | rvn2001 |
I notice that no one commented on that.....  |
| 28-6 18:03:16 | ejshelton | I still do....must be old.... |
| 28-6 18:02:14 | ejshelton | Yes they would. I know I used them when I rode on the back of the bike.... |
| 28-6 18:01:47 | rvn2001 | They'd wonder who I was waving at... |
| 28-6 18:01:43 | GNFan | There are people who don't know there is such a thing as hand signals1 |
| 28-6 18:01:34 | rvn2001 | Mee too...but I'm not sure anyone would recognize them. |
| 28-6 18:00:37 | ejshelton | LOL I can always use hand signals......lol |
| 28-6 17:58:44 | rvn2001 | yup |
| 28-6 17:58:18 | GNFan | So when I see someone not using turn signals, instead of my old "how much more was the price for the turn signal option", soon it will have to be "So Isee you didn't pay your turn signal subscription bill".;-) |
| 28-6 17:57:41 | ejshelton | It would. But you dont use the turn signals and hard brake too often |
| 28-6 17:57:03 | rvn2001 | That would be a little difficult for me |
| 28-6 17:56:58 | ejshelton | Or go back to motorcycle.....a 3 wheeler |
| 28-6 17:56:29 | ejshelton | That would convince me to walk or ride a bike.....arggg |
| 28-6 17:55:51 | rvn2001 |
That's coming ......  |
| 28-6 17:55:22 | DAZed | but the local sports talk show was joking about turn signal fees, bright light charges, extra cost for hard braking. |
| 28-6 17:54:51 | rvn2001 | The only things we aren't paying for at the NTS is the space and electricity. Everything used to be free for the layouts. |
| 28-6 17:54:44 | ejshelton | Yup...I dont have a lot of the initial features since I don't pay |
| 28-6 17:54:05 | DAZed | most of it is like "auto driving" features, things like that |
| 28-6 17:53:20 | DAZed | "nickel and diming" is becoming the latest craze. Vehicles now come with lots of subscriptions if you want to use various things. The car has the feature, you just have to pay to use it. So paying for sitting is gotta be a premium offering...lol. |
| 28-6 17:52:14 | GNFan | That gives everybody the "view from above" for sure. But...no. |
| 28-6 17:48:38 | ejshelton | I don't either |
| 28-6 17:48:15 | rvn2001 | I don't want to put our modules on the floor either. |
| 28-6 17:47:36 | ejshelton | I'm OK I bring my own chair....lol |
| 28-6 17:47:09 | GNFan | "Oh, you want to sit *down*. That'll cost ya." |
| 28-6 17:46:13 | ejshelton | Interesting....I hope we can afford it... |
| 28-6 17:45:39 | rvn2001 | I'm still waiting to hear about front-door access and the price of tables and chairs. |
| 28-6 17:44:23 | ejshelton | Its going to be a fun NTS |
| 28-6 17:44:03 | rvn2001 | I installed swing-up mirrors to the openings on those modules for use when I'm not using the crossing tracks. |
| 28-6 17:42:59 | DAZed | oh, active interchange....nice. |
| 28-6 17:42:02 | rvn2001 | I'm working on cutting "TTZ"-style modules to make return loops for the crossing tracks on my interchange modules. |
| 28-6 17:41:28 | DAZed | Yep, I just need some of the bethgons to be on a Black Friday sale so i can build the train cheap enough. |
| 28-6 17:37:06 | rvn2001 | That sounds like your best solution. |
| 28-6 17:36:41 | DAZed | It's an easy enough scheme, just need to put decals together and get them printed. |
| 28-6 17:36:20 | DAZed | I'm not optimistic. I know of 4 other 4-packs that have been for sale. One was overseas, 2 were at a primarily Euro shop (AJCC Kids or something like that), and one was on eBay that I missed out on. That was before I really had decided to go all-in with them. |
| 28-6 17:33:51 | ejshelton | It might be a tough search |
| 28-6 17:33:29 | rvn2001 | That doesn't leave a whole lot.... |
