The Invasion is over

Since late December or early January (I really cant remember) our house has been invaded by the grandparents. first it was the in-laws who left at the end of February only to be replaced the next day by my parents.  So it has been a long time of having house guests.  The upside is that my father is also a model railroader and enjoys research so we spent some time digging through archives while he was here.  The Arizona Historical Societies archives are split between multiple locations and as previously mentioned we visited the Tucson portion of the archives.  On a whim we decided to revisit the Yuma archives and discovered that they had just gotten a bunch of their photos back from being cataloged.  These photos  yielded much information but as is always the case for every question answered at least two new ones were formed.  So now I just have to find time to go look through the non-rail pictures to see what they yield.  As far as projects go I am in the process of reorganizing my garage so that I can use my tools but with the temperatures already climbing into the 90's it will likely be next fall until I can start building phase 1(more on that later).

Another attack of life

Well not much too much has gone on hobby wise in the last few weeks.  Once again my work schedule changed and I have had a couple family members with health issues. So consider it another severe attack of life.  I did however find a short window to visit the Arizona State Historical Society archive in Tucson. While this did yield some information some of the areas I was most hopeful about finding information about turned out to be a dead end.  I am also currently  in the process of trying to better organize my garage so that I not only can find all of my tools but have the space to work on possible layout sections. So heres hoping that the coming weeks offer more progress than the last few weeks.
