Traveling

 Google is adding some new search features - so that may throw me off my game when I'm trying to write up a post. Going along with that, I've got a new computer. Windows 10 will no longer be supported after the 14th, and my current computer decided to add a new feature all on its own. When I log in now, the initial screen comes up, when I click to go to the log in screen nothing happens unless I do the control, alternate & delete procedure, which is why I ordered a new computer. Might take me a bit to get everything transferred over.

My welding student is making progress. He started with E-7018 electrodes on the second section of his paddlewheel. The first section with the E-6011 looked pretty rough, mostly because he hadn't mastered overlapping his beads. You can see in the photo he's still having a bit of the same trouble, but he's getting there.

Cuzzin Ricky and I are boomin' out on the Southwest Chief for a trip to the Grand Canyon. Amtrak doesn't run there directly, but it can be done, or so they tell us. We'll be gone for a week, so blogging will be light. I've never tried writing a post using my phone, but I imagine it can be done, maybe not with photos but we'll find out soon enough.

Amtrak runs the Texas Eagle directly to Dallas, which would be nice if I wanted to take the train to see the Haas Moto Museum. Also, Cuzzin Ricky wants to take another trip out west to ride a couple of tourist trains - steam powered I believe. We can talk about that one on our way to the Grand Canyon.
