| 8-2 18:15:02 | soccrdad30 | does anyone use the little paint mixer for their paints? |
| 8-2 18:12:26 | rvn2001 | Good |
| 8-2 18:12:18 | rvn2001 | God...then, yes. |
| 8-2 18:12:08 | DAZed | Thom, I'd say so unless you use your drill press less than 50% for hobby stuff |
| 8-2 18:12:05 | GNFan | That's what I showed them, Thom. |
| 8-2 18:12:00 | soccrdad30 | I think so Thom |
| 8-2 18:11:54 | soccrdad30 | Hello Doug |
| 8-2 18:11:53 | rvn2001 | Hi Doug. |
| 8-2 18:11:50 | GNFan |
John, I would think it would be "hobby/Z unless proven otherwise".  |
| 8-2 18:11:42 | DAZed | HowdyZ |
| 8-2 18:11:31 | rvn2001 | Does a quill return spring for my drill press count?? |
| 8-2 18:10:57 | rvn2001 | 2 wires from the DCC system connect to one mainline and the DC transformer connects to the other. |
| 8-2 18:10:23 | soccrdad30 | anything Z? or for the hobby? |
| 8-2 18:10:03 | GNFan | The others weren't clear on how it would work, so I demonstrated how it works. |
| 8-2 18:09:59 | rvn2001 | My Amazon delivery is here. |
| 8-2 18:08:29 | rvn2001 | It should work as long as the mainlines are wired separately.....and they are |
| 8-2 18:08:11 | soccrdad30 | earlier this morning it was only 4 degrees |
| 8-2 18:07:38 | rvn2001 | That's the way to look at it, John. |
| 8-2 18:07:21 | GNFan | Three of us met yesterday to test if we could get the club ZBend modules to support DCC on the outer loop of track and DC on the inner loop...and we can. |
| 8-2 18:07:15 | soccrdad30 | 17 degrees warm |
| 8-2 18:06:54 | soccrdad30 | a very sunny and cold Sunday here in Michigan |
| 8-2 18:05:29 | rvn2001 | Hi John. Happy Sunday! |
| 8-2 18:05:20 | GNFan | Hi, John. |
| 8-2 18:05:16 | soccrdad30 | Hello Mike, Thom |
| 8-2 18:05:11 | soccrdad30 | Happy Sunday! |
| 8-2 18:04:53 | rvn2001 | Ellen is running trains at a train show today. |
| 8-2 18:03:33 | rvn2001 | 29 and cloudy here...no rain predicted. |
| 8-2 18:03:00 | GNFan |
Cloudy (gray) in the 40s here. Rain predicted just about when the Super Bowl broadcast starts (but well before the actual kickoff )l |
| 8-2 18:02:09 | rvn2001 | How is Mike this morning? |
| 8-2 18:01:52 | GNFan | Hi, Thom. |
| 8-2 18:00:03 | rvn2001 | Hi Mike. |
| 5-2 3:19:41 | stonysmith | nite... |
| 5-2 3:18:33 | GNFan | Bye, guyz. |
| 5-2 3:17:57 | GNFan | ZU, Thom. |
| 5-2 3:17:52 | DAZed | ok THom, gnite. Guess I'll get back to work....actual work not the model railroading or house projects kind |
| 5-2 3:16:51 | rvn2001 | Well guyz, I'm gonna go check to zee that all of my trainz are ztill running. Z y'all later. |
| 5-2 3:13:23 | DAZed | yes....right now it is very very nice and crisp FREE air conditioning |
| 5-2 3:13:20 | rvn2001 | I'm the other way...I don't wear shorts...it's long pants for me all year. |
| 5-2 3:12:49 | stonysmith | I keep telling folks.. in less than 150 days, it's gonna be 100F out there |
| 5-2 3:12:23 | stonysmith | I'm with you there Doug |
| 5-2 3:11:36 | DAZed | I have to remember to wear pants versus shorts when it's in the 20's. Not because I feel I need them, but becuase of social media. (look at THIS idiot) |
| 5-2 3:11:13 | stonysmith | people get really messed up... after multiple weeks below -30F, when it finally warms up to 0F, it feels like shirtsleeve weather, but you can still get frostbite quickly |
| 5-2 3:10:31 | DAZed | I'm pretty good down to around 0...I've been in minus 17 in Illinois and that got my attention |
| 5-2 3:09:56 | DAZed | I think I might understand the concept of cold at -50 |
| 5-2 3:09:04 | stonysmith | well.. from what i remember, Dad would ski to work at -50F, but much below that, he'd stay home |
| 5-2 3:08:05 | GNFan | Bye Ellen and John. |
| 5-2 3:07:52 | DAZed | so -50F is when you just had to stay home then |
| 5-2 3:07:30 | DAZed | gnite Ellen and John |
| 5-2 3:07:24 | stonysmith | but even the head bolt heater didn't help below -50F |
| 5-2 3:07:10 | rvn2001 | Nite John. |
