Forgot to mention: when I was at said model/train shop, I saw a 1/125 scale A380. 23" long, about a 27" wingspan. :eek::eek:

Wow. That's awesome.

I wonder if O-gauge train setups will support multiple engines at the front coupled back to back.

From what I can remember ~20 years ago, his setup just had single engines.

My grandparents are collectors of all kinds of fairly cool stuff. They have a collection of antique bicycles (the kind that have a 4+' tall front wheel, 1' rear wheel), Civil War memorabilia, vintage toys, etc.

Online tournament play? I'm supposed to learn poker to become an all-around threat in LAS - I'm the only one who can play blackjack and one of two who can play dice in my clique. Two can play poker. There are a few who just suck all around.

I am pleased to report that Gogo doesn't block UMA and thus I have a full signal on my phone at the moment. :D

For historical reference, my first post in Teh Box was quite appropriate. I made it from the ORD penalty box.

I have to tell you that the idea of keeping the thermostat at 58 -- does not sound the least bit appealing to me!:rolleyes:

not talking about slums here but the 1 bedroom place I was at was a condo, it was $150,000 when I got it, sold it for a little more than this while the side of the building was advertising $170k last year + a few months. the same places now are going for 77-85k! I am glad I got out when I did!
