    Chief, It is working just fine up here North of the Mason-Dixon Line. I think they must be blocking the Southern States signal. :mrgreen: :thumb: :wave: Or maybe just Roseyville.

    Chief, I had to do the same. They give you some SS credit for service time. Not sure how much or how it is calculated but that is what they told me when I signed up.

    A few stations in our county sell E85 but none nearby to me. Some have 10 percent ethanol, I can't tell the difference. Put a coat of dark green paint on the mountain.

    Welcome back Graham, Guess I'm a newbe compared to you. Dennis, It still works that way for me. Very handy. We had a beautiful day today, Sunny and not to hot, just right. I put plaster cloth on my small mountain yesterday, want to work on the finish a little before I paint.

    I remember the dark ages as well. Had my first inventory program on a RS Color computer with 4 floppy drives, no hard drive. Used a database written for that machine, but can't remember the name.

    Evening all, Picked up the 5 year old for the weekend and we ran trains for about an hour. She was fascinated with the camera in the other room that shows up on the TV. Then she discovered that when she blew the whistle it came out of the TV speakers, man did we have sound. Of course she...
