Apparently the long walk down the tracks from the S curves to Cresco was a good way to get tired. I slept nine and a half hours last night. I went to the yard all excited, but not so much for the crew, even though everything worked like it was supposed to. When I heard the air hiss like a glad hand separating I held on and we stopped immediately. If all of the trips were the same, they wouldn't be as much fun.
Gotta go. Gotta train to catch. I'm Osier bound. :toys:

Sharon, you use Bandicam, don't you?
Is it "relatively" easy to learn for a "very" senior male?
I bought the package, with Bandicut, but haven't had the time to experiment with it.
Thanks,

Bandicam is about as simple as one can get. Basically you have to press the second to left button at the top which brings up the frame. Adjust the frame around what you want to record and then use the hot keys to do the video start/stop and grab images. The menu on the left lets you adjust various items like the hot keys, where it sends both video and stills when done. For my videos I end up using Bandicam twice, once when I record then to get them set for processing since I record both tipple cams at the same time.
