yeah sorry, I even thought about it after I hit the add reply button again. Oh well, crazy computer.

I don't get it

I ended up spelling some things differently and didn't capitalize things like I should have

I don't get it

I bolded the errors or text message lingo. My post contained sarcasm. In this case, it was a phrase that stated the opposite of what I meant in order to be a smart aleck.

Do you need to pay more attention in English class, or sarcastic post class? I can teach both, though the first I can only teach at Ivy Tech.

Flyer...who's just messing with you, Jackson!

Wow,

I disabled text messaging on my phone, and I'm a terrible speller.

Now what? No excuses.....

lol, I was trying to do both at the same time but it just didnt work out completely....guess I shouldt try to mix the two together anymore....oh well

I'm not saying that's the only reason for the problem, so you can use any excuse you want! English is not everyone's strong point. Which is odd since we speak it...strange.

Yes, oh well. Shouldn't is a contraction and needs an apostrophe. There's one last one for the road. Now then, I think we can just agree that making a good faith effort to use correct spelling, puntuation, capitalization, and etcetera is a good thing for the readers of your posts and is enough for these purposes. No one is perfect, and it would drive you crazy to try to be.

I hope something new develops with Diamondback's trains, or this thread will be so far off topic that it will be a train wreck.

I think it's a little late to hope for that ... this thread derailed about two pages ago.

Have you guys checked out the webcam? It looks like they have moved part of the track oing into the station. I wonder what is going on?!!

Maria

i noticed that to...... also they've started to put on the roof on the garage for Diamondback's trains.

Dumb question.....How do they get the trains on the track?

Maria

When the transfer track is to the side like it is at the moment, all they need to do is get a crane capable of lifting one of the cars, and they just slide the cars on one by one. Once they are on the track, there is some wheel adjustment that takes place, but other than that, that's all they need to do. Its probably much harder than I just made it out to be, but that how they do it.

Lots of activity today! What's really catching my eye is what is going on at the storage shed and transfer track!! Hopefully we'll see some new shiny trains by days end!

Maria

As CoastersRZ once pointed out to me; of the 3 storage tracks, the storage track furthest away from the station has a crane built onto it's rear side. The trains will most likely be lifted onto that track, assembled and coupled together then pushed forward onto the transfer track and placed in the other storage tracks or elsewhere on the ride.

I think testing is only about two weeks away. About 8-9 more weeks and we will be on Diamondback. Seems like a long time but I am sure the time will fly and DB team is probaly starting to get a little more pressure getting the project done on time.

its hard because of all of the rules is why.....and yes, i think that is all we can really do right now is make an effort on what we really know how to do. plus i know im the FURTHEST thing from perfect unless it comes to medical testing, but that is another story for another time. but no, as for this being a train wreck off and on since it started...but im not going back through to count how many times this has gotten off topic...

According to Webster, both are correct. I looked it up before I even posted it.

Anyone notice that transfer track has moved today? Nice to see some movement

I'm sorry! Man, I'm getting old. That darn Merriam's Third and a Dictionary of Usage (as opposed to THE dictionary). I'm sure dare-to-fly and about three other posters will understand that one. Anywho, I still remember the Latin from both grade school and high school, and from etymology class (no, it's not the study of bugs, kids).

Gee, thanks a lot.

Now I feel like an old fossil!

Ha I didn't even think of that

Once the work on the roof has been completed, the ride will be ready for trains. You will be able to watch the trains being placed on the track live through the webcam in a matter of days.
