It's like an...odd haiku.

So here's the latest scoop.



Yep, they're still there... but that small black thing on the far right is not satellite; it's Moneyrolla.



Right after I took that second picture, security comes up and tells me I'm not allowed to loiter. I informed him that I wasn't loitering, and that I was just taking pictures. He then wanted to know if they were for personal use, and I said yeah (whatever). He then asked for my name, and when I refused he told me to leave. So I walked to my car, he whipped out his Nexthell. I started it up, and he positioned himself in the center of the path I needed to drive out. I inched forward, gave him the WTF look and then his ginkgo biloba kicked in and he got out of the way. Shoulda ran the pretentious old fart over, he was bitching about having to do paperwork if I happened to fall off the edge and kill myself whilst taking that closeup shot. And he mumbled something about me being parked on city property blah blah blah. Idiot.

Beautiful weather today!

It sure is satellite... Probably an active GPS antenna..

GPS doesn't count as a satellite :D Now time for a random smiley:

I think we should make the old fart busy.

Six or Eight of us go in, one after the other, each take a few pictures.

Rode the Sounder on Friday (it's quite nice), and was debarking at Auburn Station anyways, so here's Part II. If you get dizzy easily, don't watch the video.





It goes all the way down to the ground floor, but I didn't have time to trace it more. No old guys in security uniforms this time, but I did have fun dodging cars flying around the garage.

If that's the correct conduit for the antenna the coax is so long that there would be no signal by the time it got to where ever it is going with out an amplifier along the line :D

1) ST put it in just for us, knowing we'd debate it endlessly.
2) One of the suggestions by Rich or commstar

ST is a public agency, so the blueprints gotta be readily accessible...

Perhaps the next INW meeting should be held at the Auburn Park and Ride, where we may debate endlessly the purpose of all that.

A few comments.

It was hard to tell from the video if they used hangers for the conduit (where suspended along the sprinkler run) or if they tied to the pear hangers holding that sprinkler pipe up.

Code sez...


Nice "handlebars" on the runs going between boxes.

Could always cut the runs and see who comes running... (that is only a joke, have had that happen to me at least once)

Im betting the radios are actually in the boxes...


Ticket system??

Worker (ham) not allowed out of the basement and this was his compensation?? :mrgreen:

Edit: a photo of the TVMs at Westlake just got posted on STB. The ones for the Sounder are basically the same.


The process credit cards, but I'd have to assume that's via POTS or ISDN or some other flavor of broadband internet.

Looks identical to the ticket machines on the Las Vegas Monorail...

Which also look like the machines that NYC's MTA & Boston MBTA uses :)
