Good to hear that things are running great. I need to put Roy's and
your layouts on my bucket list! It's also good to have a day off before
the next group rings the bell. I remember more than once having to be
up half the night replacing one of those twin coil switch motors or
trying to figure out why a boxcar that's been on the layout for years
starts derailing.
I don't know if I've offended the 'gods' but this summer my wife and
kids are up in cool South Dakota visiting whats left of family, while I
am dealing with my sons two young, but not small dogs and temps above
100. I only have a window AC unit in the trainroom, so it takes several
hours before it cools down so working up their is for weekends.
I hope everybody is enjoying the convention--I certainly enjoyed
Scranton the last time.

Everything went well today at my home with the layout tours.
Mary and I were very pleased and everyone was so nice and complimentary.
The weather was rather cool and that sure did help with the basement
humidity.
Actually, I was pleased as the trains ran without fault and I could
stand round and have conversation with everyone.
I received a very nice email from Gale Hall today and he was regretful
of not being able to make the convention. (Me too, Gale, we'll miss you!)
(Gale has a new home complications.)
We're now shut down for Wednesday visitations, but are looking for all
of you that called are coming down tomorrow. [Thursday]
Mary and I will join you all Friday at the Radisson.
One other thing I wanted to mention was that I lucked out and Larry
Shughart collected up all my magazines for his home library in
Jacksonville, Florida. The collection is was all S Gaugian's and NASG
Dispatches' from the beginning and also the 3/16th Rail Magazines. I
feel fortunate as Larry has a very large train room and I know he
keeps everything safe and neat.
This came about as I went to reference something a visitor mentioned
today and all was gone! Tsk! Tsk!
Boy, I'll surely miss them.
