Early this morning Steve and Gary rented a truck and loaded all of Steve’s woodworking equipment to take to David in North Canton, Ohio. Steve has been using the Shopsmith less and less through the years and now is actively engaged in silversmithing. Dave is earnestly interested in learning wordworking. Hopefully he has enough space for all of this equipment! Although there really was enough room on the truck, the term “Ramming Speed!” was heard at least once during the loading process.

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation.

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
