Morning , don't know if the weekend was good or not , I'm a sports fan , Max won the Austrian Grand Prix , Mathieu vd Poel won the stage and is in the yellow jersey in the Tour de France , but the Dutch National Team is out of the European Football Championships , so mixed feelings.

Spending the Sunday watching those sports with the entire family , my parents , brothers and spouses and all the grand-children is worth so much more that I conclude the weekend was great.

Good Morning;

We made it to Ohio and have seen both kids and all the grandkids. The Tampa Bay Lighting are in the Stanley Cup Finals (again!), baseball team firing on all cylinders, life is good. Mostly because we are seeing the kids.

Today Deb seeing some friends and I am in charge of dog. Hope everyone is well.

PS: I thought I would add a link to an incredible resource for building supply information, over 10,000 company catalogs prior to 1964. I am getting specifications and part ideas from this resource.

Remember the old cliché about bad luck comes in three's?
Ten days before our trip "down shore" the AC AND the refrigerator went out. Refrigerator was "fixed" prior to our departure. Had to order a new central air unit. Contractor said "when parts come in, we'll drop everything else and get you fixed up". Parts were in last week, but now he says ductwork is holding him up.
Yesterday while working through copious amounts of vacation laundry, the dryer drum bearings went south.
Welcome home.
Stay cool all.

Happy Monday!


Nothing to report on my end. Life has been busy with work until we get our system in the cloud.


I have a stack of train magazines I've not taken out of the plastic bag the mail delivers them in....


Later gang.

Best of luck to Raymo as he gets ready, and to Mrs Marty, hoping for good results.   Jan, Euro Cup this year has been full of surprises.  The few things I've read have had included complaints about refereeing. 

Off to Bahstun to day for an impromptu college class reunion.  A couple guys from out of state will be here, so we canvassed everyone else and got a great response.

Afternoon all,

Back at work.  :(  :(  :(  Caught up on most of the e-mails that came in and now deciding what needs to be attacked first.

Good evening! Long day of driving today, but I'm back home from a long weekend trip to attend my nephews High School Graduation Party, in Delaware. Waiting for me in the mail was invitation from Michigan Tech. to attend my 40th college Graduation reunion. Feeling a bit old this evening. I hope everyone had a great day. Maybe some modeling tomorrow. ;D

Good evening, all.  Today I spent 5 hours in another modeler's basement trying to resolve a number of electrical problems.  Maybe 80% success but I have to go back if his layout is to be showable this fall.  No power districts, everything put together with suitcase connectors of 'fairly good' quality and no gaps anywhere they weren't absolutely required.  Add condensation showering down last winter from an outdoor-temp slab above and you'll guess why I needed a new voltmeter battery about 3PM. At least it was cool there (outdoors was not), and there were enough unsoldered rail joiners that I could usually make a gap without a Dremel.
