GQ goes shortly after Quarters, followed by Firefighting Drills shortly after 4 Bells in the Forenoon Watch.
Never mind that stuff. When do we splice the mainbrace?

Ummm, Bart, that's Lexington Nebraska, not Kentucky....:| He's a flatlander :D
Well thats a horse of another color...........But folks from Lexington , Ky are Flatlanders too!

Kentucky is high mountains compared to Nebraska. The only thing flatter than Nebraska is Kansas…:smiley:

#24

I knew poor Kansas, I knew her well…she was rather flat…chested though.

She tried her best but just couldn’t push them up…!!!

#25

I hear tell the highest point in Nebraska is the infamous bridge on Marty Cozad’s layout…:expressionless:

OK Now, let’s go easy on Nebraska. It’s my native state. Though I was from the panhandle which twice tried to secede and join Wyoming. (We were 450 miles from the state capital.) Here’s a tutorial.

She should have been lifting Steins at Oktoberfest. :wink: :slight_smile: :wink:

Thanks for the nice welcome, I did not expect that. Bart, your shay project was neat, I looked at your web site and saw that. Dave has helped me out on some of mine. Jerry

That changes depending on whether JJ is there holding his transmitter in the air. ;-)

Welcome Jerry, its a friendly bunch.

Taking that into consideration, JJ’s hat qualifies…:smiley: :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

Welcome to the club, :wink: :slight_smile: looks like the user names have been relegated to the aka category, with the real names showing up for the posts.

But since you’re “hudrail”, what exactly does that mean?

By POSH do you mean that you are an aristocrat? Or that you are a fan of Peterborough United Football Club?

Or that you are just a superior kind of person?

Most of us here are plain old misters…be nice to have a real English lord on the site.

See your e-mail, POSH one.

Common person #1 - ‘I actually saw the Queen today while I was begging outside the palace! And get this, she actually went out of her way to speak to me!’

CP #2 - ‘Azoy! The Queen? So what did she say?’

CP #1 - ‘She looked me straight in the eye and gave me some good advice!’

CP #2 - ‘Oy, such a lady, the Queen, bless ‘er, always got her subjects’ best interests at heart. And what was this advice?’

CP #1 - ‘She said, ‘I advise you to bugger off, toot-sweet, or else I’ll have you decapitated where you stand’’.

Another fan of '1066 and all that', I see.

You can only think Kansas is flat if you haven't seen the Nullarbor.
#37

Never been to the Nullarbor Plain. But it sounds like the Eastern 2/3rds of Montana…noting but jackrabbits and tumbleweed for miles on end. Reminds me of the drive from Spokane to Marty’s in Nebraska City. Not as flat but 2400 km of not much civilization between those two points.

Warren - the Nullarbor Plain [Latin - no tree] makes Nebraska look like Free Day at Disneyworld. Even flying over it is enough make you want to slit your wrists with a spoon.

Nobody with any sense actually goes TO it - you cross it by train [The Gan], or you fly over it to get somewhere else.

Ask an Australian what GAFA stands for. [wink]

TAC,

The time we rode on The Ghan it went more or less North from Port Augusta to Alice. Had we stayed on the Indian Pacific we would have come across the “Nothing”.

Gan — Ghan Must be similar to the difference between tire and tyre. :smiley:

That’s what I like about HJ, always quick to point out what he perceives as someone else’s shortcomings. Eh? Or is it A? I always get confused about that.
