[MAP]

OK............

So let's keep this quote going.......... of Mark Twain / Sam Clemons.... 

Rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated ! ! !

Or .....

William Butler Yeats........

Much of life is getting ready for stuff that will never happen.....

see ya
Bob

I believe that I'm modeling Yeat's:  I've got 2 kits on the workbench and a layout that I haven't touched in weeks (months?), but I've sure been getting "ready" to.  Slim, I think I should have used "thank" instead of "blame"  ....do I still get a tootsie roll?

[GPdemayo]

Oh...sure...blame ME!

Uh huh...I love you too Mark. Yep...throw ol' slim under the bus will ya!

Isn't throwing Slim under the bus excessive cruelty to busses?  
 
I'm sure there is some group that watches out for busses and that we would be in big trouble throwing Slim under one!
 
Besides, how do we know which busses are endangered so that we don't throw Slim under those and get in even bigger dodo.....  
 
Am I rambling, I'm rambling, better get back to work.

[bparrish]

Isn't there some protection for cruelty to buses international agency.

You know.......... like the national association of associations.

Sorry Slim.......... but I'm having too much fun with this one ! ! ! ! !

see ya

This thread got me dizzier than Li'l Tommy's ovalhicks!! 

[S&S RR]

Hi MAP:
I really like this kit. I will be folloing along.
Karl

I like it too Karl. In fact, I ordered one today. I a;ways wanted to light that one up.
-slim

Have you informed ACL of your plans yet?

Hey, I guess I resemble that! Where are my matches?

Tom

And all along, we all thought you HAD no match.

Okay, I wonder how many quotes of quotes we can get quotes of?

Now, not only do I have no match, I have no equal either!

Tom

We could try  and out do that Happy Birthday Ralph thing on the other forum.

Quote cascade:  Go for it!  Oh, and thanks for the color choice comment.

Cascade?
Electricity?
Bet all you Great Northern fans are happy now!

Slims is always trying to push the electronics to the next level - does anyone know where the server is for this forum? Will there be smoke?  Who's thread is getting hijacked for this experiment?  Just asking?

Mine!  Do I smell wires burning?

I think it really should be called a "nested" quote. But cascade is ok with me.
Isn't this Greg's thread? I wonder if he'll get back to it before the originally quoted thing shrinks down the the size of one pixel.

So Mark how is your build coming! I know a guy that can help you light it up with LED's.

Hey John.  The build went on hold for a bit.  I was in Florida for the past week.  My mom sold her house, so I flew down last week and with the help of the realtor, my cousin and a couple of hired hands we packed the boxes she had put together the past couple of weeks in a U-Haul.  We left Friday morning and I got home this morning at ~yawn~ 1:30.  Where's my coffee?  As for the lighting, I really need to start doing that.  I saw that Slim has a starter kit with soldering stuff/lights/wires/etc., so maybe at the expo I'll be looking him up.

Good sons have to put Mom first!

You should look Slim up at the EXPO or take a look at his web site.  I bought one of his starter sets a couple years ago and it was a great way to get into LED's.  Only bad part is I don't know what to do with all the light bulbs I've collected over the years.

I would also recommend Slim's clinic at the EXPO -

Just checking in.  Still no progress on the build (or my layout), but mom is settling in nicely. I will definitely look Slim up (and down 'cause he's kinda shifty looking) at the Expo for sure.  I've visited his website and was tempted to get the starter kit, but I want to talk to him first before jumping in.  I've heard he tosses tootsie rolls at you if you're mis-behaving in his clinic!  I'll have to mis-behave a lot!!

I was just looking at that Gleason Garage box sitting on the table in my garage/shop/hell-hole this morning when I was heading out the door. I'm really anxious to get started on it but I have some other projects that need tending to first. One is getting some info to Jimmy the D for doing a part for the light-up kit for "DePeaux" Station.

The Deeeeeluxe kit has pretty much everything you need to get started to solder up the tiny surface mount stuff. You want to be able to do that if you want to make your own goosenecky lights. The Deeeeeluxe a little light on white LEDs but I'll throw in some extras of those to forum pals.

Maybe a Tootsie Roll too.

-slim

Hey, this isn't my thread Slim, it's Marks'.


By the way.....good build so far Mark, I'll be following along!

You're right Greg. I must've gotten dizzy after looking at all the quotes...It's getting to be like looking in the mirrors at the barber shop if you know what I mean.

-slim

Who started this anyway?


Started what?

Ooops!  I hit the post before I said anything.  Ok, the "who", I believe, was Tom L. wondering how far this quote thing would go.  Slim, just close one eye and you'll be ok.

Mark I don't know how you did it but you have lost control of this build thread. I suggest progress pictures!

John, .....associations.....endangered busses......Slim's tootsie rolls....and my methodical (=very very very slow) building practices doomed me from the beginning of being out of control.  Since I haven't made any progress, maybe I'll post an overview shot of my workbench showing the 2 inches of dust on the kit and my tools/paints/glues.  That will motivate me to do some work on it this week.

Hi Mark:

Very nicely done.

Karl

[RailroadKits]

If anyone is wondering why the forum slows down considerably, it has something to do with this thread and the bandwidth it uses up caching all those quotes.

I'm glad that Mega Ralph doesn't have a birthday thread here. Between this and that, the forum would have big problems!

Okay MAPpy, get back to work on the build. I'll light the kit up when you're done.

You know what? From now on I'm going to make really fancy cookies in PS, print them, cut them out  and send them to you.

Mmmmmm.

Jimmy's always picking on me.  Now he's planning on torching my build if I don't get back on track!  Ok, Ok, I'll get back on it this week.  Karl, thanks!

Slim got us in trouble again! Slowing down the forum and Mark's build.
