More Pictures Found

Checking many Zip disk in my inventory while converting them over to the Mac format;  I found a few more ship pictures I would like to share with you.  These were taken in 1998 while I was on the Diamond Jack Cruise Boat. The Diamond Cruise Line offers 2 hour cruises all summer long.  These cruise can be up river or down river.  The Down river cruise is picked up on the river front in Wyandotte.  While the up river cruise was at downtown.  It may have moved to a new location and you should check with the cruise company first.  The First Picture is the Detroit Fire Boat in front of Cobo Hall, while the second photo is a Huron Cement Freighter docked at the Medusa Cement Company just East of the GM.

Switched from PC to Mac

It was a long hard process to decide if I should leave the World of Microsoft and the dreaded Windows operating system.  As it turned out, I love my iPhone and what a better pair then to mate the iPhone with a Mac.  Two days ago, I was up at the crack of dawn as usual, turned on the PC and went about getting my morning cup of coffee.  When I returned to my computer horror of horror's, my computer refused to boot.  After checking all sorts of things to get up and running it became plainly simple my computer was not going to submit.  It did not take long to figure out the time had come to say good bye to the PC and hello to a Mac.

For those who still work, I'm sure you have had those days when you clock watched and the minutes seem to pass like hours.  This is what I had thought I left behind after I retired, only to find myself clock watching while waiting for the magic hour when the local Apple Store would open.  It's amassing how four hours can somehow turn into an eternity.  Well, now I have my Mac and even though it is a lot like windows, I still have the learning curve to conquer.

A Mixed Bag

Today I have several items to add. First I have been building a 1/800 scale model of a Nuclear Power Plant with Pressurized Water Reactor. So far, I have finished the base, the Reactor Building and the Turbine Building see photos.

I have been working on up-dating my site to improve the looks. I have added a few links and will be adding more soon.

Next, I've added some photos that I took back in the late 1950's and 1960's. This was when the Detroit Harbor Facility was in full swing.

Small Bridge

Today I am posting a couple of pictures of a small bridge built using the Anker Kleine Genegross Set. This is a small mini-set with 30 small stones. As with all small toys, this set is not designed to be used by children under three years of age. The set was designed for young children to play with and to introduce them to the art of building with stone blocks and to up-grade to the larger sets.

The picture at the top is the Mini-set. The box measures approximately 4 x 5 inches so you have and idea of how small these stones are.

It's been a while

Wow! How time passes when your having fun. This is my first post in several months. I have been busy building Plastic kits mainly Tamiya 1/48 armor kits. We have a new puppy her name is Schula and she is now 19 months old and a holy terror. Schula came from Mexico and loves heat, although related to the Pit Bull family Schula is a Stratfordshire Terrier who would rather play with people over other dogs. Her color is Brindle meaning she is brown with black strips all over her body. She loves to go the dog park and has a few friends she plays with. Rocket, Champ, LuShun, Bella, Shadow and Carli our her favorites. We take her to a local Dog Park in Mt. Clemens, Michigan.

Other then that, I have always loved building things with the Anker Stone Blocks. These blocks date back to the 18th Century and were manufactured in Germany. After many many years, the company was re-opened and the blocks once again are being manufactured. I had several sets in the pass but was forced to sell almost all my sets when we went through some hard times. Now I have slowly started to re-supply myself with stones and sets.

This about brings things current or at least close to current for now.
