I got a load of empty boxes from under the layout today and took up a bit more track. I set down a 90 degree curve to see about where the new track will be in relation to the park. Looks like I'll be making the park a bit bigger to support a length of track across the front of it.
I went to my fathers place for beans and cornbread this afternoon. While I was there I looked at my step mothers life alert system. You know, one of those things you press the button on in an emergency. She wanted me to hook it up to the phone line. Well my father has phone service through Suddenlink. So all the phones in the house connect to one modem. The person I was talking to with Life Alert said the thing had to be connected to the modem and then all the other lines would be connected to the Alert box. I did that. All I got was 'unable to detect phone line'. I hooked it up every way I could think of. 'Unable to detect phone line'. After about an hour of this I'm ready to set the darn thing on the railroad tracks! Then they tell me it needs a converter box to work with a modem. Well dang! They could have told me that an hour earlier! The beans and cornbread were good though.
