Good Morning All: This is definately (SP) my last post 'til I get on the road. I am really feeling good about this trip and getting to meet some of the guys that I've had the fortune to meet on this forum. Everyone has extended a wealth of hospitality and I can't believe how much help I've had. Fregie: We will arrive in Halifax on Oct 3 rd so it looks like we'll meet you that afternoon. I'm bringing: 1) BLI ATSF (what else?) 4-8-4; 2) Spectrum SP 2-8-4 light; 3) Proto ATSF 2-8-8-2; and 4) whatever she'll let me pack. I'm picking Mom up tonight so we can get an early start tomorrow. John: We'll be at your place as soon as Fergie gets though with the Halifax tour and we can get to your house on Oct 4th. We're going to stay in Sheets Harbour if I can find that e-mail that had the name of the Inn. See you didn't know that Fergie moonlighted as a tour guide did you? Tom: Bill has done a good job of wetting my appitate (SP) to see your layout, I'm looking forward to meeting you and Bill. I can't bring my United PS-4 as it's still at the LHS. You might appriciate the paint job. Bill: I have an around the wall supported with knee braces so the legs aren't in the way for sweeping (who cares?) and one of my shelfs is 36" with about a 15" cantilever. I can pull myself off the floor and I weighed 207.5 this morning. My youngest son, 39 years, was suprised that I could get off the floor like that, he thought the layout would collapse. I spaced the knee's far enough apart (about 42") that I can roll the tool box under the layout. I also bought some ready-made cabinets at Lowes and put casters on the bottom and pu***hem under the layout. From the floor to the bottom of the "L" girder is 39" I think, I'll measure when I go home tonight. I finally found that book, "...benchwork... " by Lynn Westcott. Lynn over designed a lot of the benchwork, but I guess you have to do that in print to CYA. I'll bring it with me. (Am I leaving anything at home?) Jim: I'll call you about lunch time and get instructions as to where we are going to meet Sat. I drink a lot of milk (no ulcer, I just like it) and like Ed says it's still good many days after the "sell by" date. As he says just smell it - you'll know if it's bad. I can drink it if it's just a little blinky, but then I drink from a quart to a half a gallon a day. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
