Hmm... just try finding
forums about termites...


Here you go - http://termiteresearch.com.au/forum

Just proves, if somebody is interested in it, there is a discussion about it on the interwebs.

Hmm... I meant forums
about eating termites and
how to prepare them...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

And before you invite me over for dinner, I regret to say I'm busy that day.
Need to wash my hair.
Maybe next time.

Keeping this post railroad-related... I did a little assembly work on an Intermountain 12-panel 40' boxcar a half hour ago. Jeez, they're harder to put together now that I'm 61 years old.

Hmm... Wow, thank you.
Can I mail you some
cooked termites...?

My other hobbies include Classic Cars and WWII Living History. Over the past month and a half I've been prepping my '43 Ford GPW for "the big show", the Mid Atlantic Air Museum's WWII Weekend in Reading PA where they bring in about 40+ airplanes of WWII Vintage. Unfortunately my work was for naught as urgent issues cropped up at the job, but below is the culmination of work of the past 6 weeks that has kept me from trains, this is a "motorpool" restoration as this is the "fun jeep" and not a trailer queen:
The S.

I'm quite jealous of your jeep... My mind is haunted by dreams of a '42 Willies with a .30 mount in the back, plus matching 1/2 ton trailer so i'm turning green with envy...

I still can't believe the Atlas forum is gone. I went and joined three or four other forums to take up the slack, but they don't have much traffic, so I rarely go there anymore.


Hmm... just try finding
forums about termites...


I agree none of the others have the volume.  Trainboard is alright but still almost to wide spread for me.  It feels like the traffic here has increased and I think it is a good thing.  Are there any stats to support this feeling?  This is my main forum now.

Now I need to get to a few hexagonal water tanks!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Mark,

Wouldn't HEXagonal tanks be short a couple of sides?

Cheers,

I have not missed the Atlas forum.  I have found that this one fulfilling my interests better than the one on Atlas. Not to say I did not appreciate them sponsoring/supporting the forum.

I also follow BnOinN yahoo forum as well as several other RR related ones for B&O, NKP, C&EI and Illinois area ones.

Applied a white wash to the 30s era rolling stock. Some turned out ok and a couple need another hit. I think I am going to hit it with a black wash as well.



Worked on some more Fine N Scale autos for the 30s era module.



Since I changed my mind about what was going to be on this module I was forced to rearrange some of the earth.

The remaining forums don't seem to have nearly as much action as the Atlas forum had (I'm picturing tumbleweeds rolling). Then again, a lot of that Atlas forum action was fairly unpleasant, so... y'know  :|

Cheers,
