IMPORTANT QUESTION OSC:

Is it normal to sniff the exhaust vent on a computer every so often? I think computer fan exhaust smells good, it's all plastic-y and metallic, sorta like the smell of new electronics, only warm and toasty. Stew says it's weird, a little gross, and that computer fan exhaust smells like burning dust. I don't think so. What do you guys think?

My computers' vents are a bit hard to reach, so not really something I do very often, no...


But nevermind that, 59/65 on the theory test, WHAT UP DOGS

Nice Nej.  Now for the practical you need to parallel park on the sun.

Work's going good, but the last few days have been pretty slow.  We're having fall weather without the leaves or anything so folks really aren't coming to the park.  Wifi's also totally a wreck at the house which is always nice.

@Bella: *continues the awkwardly long wave* >_> *starts staring*

@Choco: ultraball pssf you're still in the little leagues young miss *knock ultraball way*. I only laptop I've had was acer, they aren't great. I was thinking about Toshiba, HP & MSI but it was the cheapest Intel core i's and the best.

I hope it does live long and prosper too.

Also, my parents visited the Cass Scenic Railroad a month ago and rode the train as well. Unfortunately they took pictures of themselves inside the train and none of the train  I'm not the biggest fan of Shay locomotives but they're still beautiful.

Wow! I wouldn't be surprised if they saw / met Stew at some point then, since it seems like the staff there is pretty small. SMALL WORLD. : 0

@Kriz, re: weird smells: Hm, tbh I've never liked the smell of air conditioning, it always seems damp and musty.
@Kari, re: weird smells: I admit I enjoy the smell of chlorine too, if only because of its association with pool water, which I in turn associate with vacations and relaxing in the pool. -w-
@Nej: Congrats dude!

I never threw my two cents in re: driving tests. I didn't get my license until after I was 18, but that was because I wanted to avoid the bullshit of state-mandated driving classes (anyone under 18 applying for a license has to take driving classes at a professional school, and they're v. expensive). For about 6 months before I got my license my dad gave me driving lessons (people over the age of 18 are allowed to take driving lessons from adults over the age of 21), and I learned pretty much everything I know about driving in that time. In fact, dad made me drive TO the DMV (it's about 50 miles away) as my last class. I just barely scraped through the "written" test, ditto for the driving test - I believe if i'd gotten two more answers wrong, I wouldn't have passed. THANK GOD that I did pass because tests freak me the frak out and I probably wouldn't have been able to do that again.

@Bella: Sounds like here; where you have to have so many classroom hours logged to get a driver's license before you turn 18 :\

So, Stew's package for me arrived today. Thanks, dude ^^

We've been to every railway in WV, some multiple times, so it is likely!

I mean big air conditioners like in an office or recycled air in the car, it just smells so cool and fresh. Very unique smell.

Stew sent me a keychain for them :3
*has it next to vintage Grimes Hardware keychain my dad gave me ages ago*

[stewartsage]

Sweet!  I wasn't expecting it to get there that quick, honestly.  I dropped it off Monday but the mail apparently goes from Green Bank pretty early so the postmistress said it'd go out Tuesday so that's two days.  GG USPS, this makes up for all your other bullshit.

Kriz: I can provide you with all the pictures of geared logging locomotives and logging equipment you could ever want.  And if you're a Gen I-II diesel fan too you've no doubt seen my RPT posts.  Most of my steam stuff doesn't get posted.

[Krizonar]

I do think diesels are attractive and I respect their strengths, but I'm more of a steam fan so feel free to post more steam.
Got any good pictures of Heisler locos? They're so strong.

[NejinOniwa]

On the subject of diesel: Diesel cars are bloody annoying sometimes, especially since I'm raised driving a petrol driven bloody bus...

[stewartsage]

I got plenty of Heislers.  I was on the Heisler about a month or so ago.  Rough riding, but faster on level ground.

So the laws are different. What Bella was describing was closer to what it's like here
