As many of you know, I am a model railroader. Part of what we control the model trains in model railroading is called Digital Command Control (basically a square wave binary code through AC current in the tracks decoded by circuitry on board the locomotive). Well programming the decoders in the locomotives involves putting hexidecimal (hex) codes in different configuration values (CV).

I got this email subject the other day and thought about what the a Carriers value was based on the hex location they were in:

I exactly understand everything you're talking about! [X(]

Two geeks in a pod.  [:D]

Haha... I've noticed some of the same stuff messing with ours... hahaha

I sometimes have dreams whereby I'm plotting a turn, but for some reason the map is ten times bigger (number of bases etc) than the real one[X(]

I once threw away about $30 worth of groceries in the fridge because the expiration date on the food (month/day) was beyond the date in the campaign game I was playing. [:o]

I'll be number four (also a model railroader, also in N scale, good friends with the folks who actually invented DCC systems for model railroads).

[awadley]

I'll be number five (also a modle railroader, N scale, Digitrax DSC100 & DB150 6 trains) I fully understand what sq wave and CV mean.

Post some pics of model railroad sets. I would love to check them out!

Expiration dates should be game coded.

Buy by. IJN landings in Java

Use by. If you have to look, it has been too long. Or first sunk carrier. Of course alcohol is allowed to last longer.

Some times I wake-up in a cold-sweat, having just dreamed that KB has been sighted! [X(]

Reminds me of something I read in this forum once, that a guy was to scared to swim in the Sea, as KB might be lurking just over the horizon. [:D]

You may even see pictures of me and others "volunteering" for the most important job on the layout:

Nice tracks nashvillen. I am guessing you already play Transport Tycoon Delux. If not its available as a freeware run and maintained by the community and it is a vastly superior model to the vanilla version.

When the hexes turn blue, is it cold enough to drink?

My Labrador hates me. He throws milk bones at me.

[sventhebold]

My lab comes down the stairs and groans and wiggles her bod. Then if no response she groans and nudges my elbow. Then if no response she barks in my ear. Then I turn and look at her in MUCH annoyance and say "I walked you yesterday!!!!" To that response she gives me a dirty look and barks again. Sigh.

[Schanilec]

The game and the labrador makes it a two front war.
