I have an apology to make. It's to D. I asked her to write on the precarious other side the quip about the store being out of butter (which for some inane reason I thought was funny at the time), so for those of you that didn't think it sounded like D, well, you were correct. From now on I'm staying over here in the fresh air of the Jungle. If you play in the muck you tend to always get some on you.

Now, let's drink some beer. After all, we're supposed to be hobos, aren't we?

Jon, I'm excited about your new track. I think you're destined to make quite the high-rail pike. (You, Dennis, and Norm.) I look forward to the progress. I still say Frank Curtis switches, and Andre has a point about Gargraves track, it will bend to those curves easily and costs much less than Ross. Of course it would be lacking spikes. I only purchased Ross curves because I was setting up on my carpet and floors.

You do like the Ross track right? Or have you had any problems with it?
Interesting to note: On this day in 1911 ground was broken to build Fenway Park.

As I mentioned on the phone, I've had a few minor problems with Ross curves but I believe they've corrected the issues by now.

Absolutely lovely early-Autumn evening, warm sun and soft breeze, (shirt optional), kids running around laughing and shrieking, riding bikes, kicking around a soccer ball, and then at dusk, a Farmall moon...

No you are not Mitch. Most of us had some trouble figuring photo posting out. It is too late tonight, but I will post a new topic on the subject tomorrow.

In the meantime, see if this post helps:

It this does not work, we forumites can guide you on the forum. Just post what you did and what happened. One of us should be able to see what you did wrong.
