Too late on the kids college fund. It's sitting on the layout, in the gun safe, and the wine cellar!!! :lol: :lol:

But I did transfer my GI Bill to him. :D

I was thinking in terms of making sure the dust bag was new. air filter in place, proper belt tension, and a decent beater bar.

Tomorrow may be a good day to tackle the carpeting.

Had a little non train photo fun today.

San Xavier del Bac Mission, Tucson, AZ, constructed between 1783 and 1797.

Edit 1. Pulled the highlights out to make dome look on my screen like it does in person (bright white.)

Wayne,

That is one of several places I missed when I was able to visit Arizona some years ago.

Many regrets.

It is hard to decide what to see on a short visit. I lived in Los Angeles area for 30 years and did not get to see or experience everything. At least the earthquakes came to me. That was exciting.

I regret not climbing those steps Laurel and Hardy had so much trouble on with that piano. They are still there if I ever go back.

Wayne;

Absolutely one of the top films they ever did, and I'm truly glad they are still there (as apparently is the house to the right).

Are they under some sort of historical registry? They should be.

Not that I know of Sarge. The music box steps are just one of 500 or so public staircases found in Los Angeles.

Did they also do one delivering a block of ice up the stairs and it would be melted down to ice cube size when they reached the top?

Maybe that was the Three Stooges?
