There was some discussion recently about writing.  In his speech "The
Immortality of the Book", Sir Anthony Kenny recounted Plato's dialogue
Phaedrus.

The Egyptian god Theuth invented writing and presented it to the Egyptian
king Thamus, telling him that it would improve  their memories.  But Thamus
replied "You have declared the very opposite of its true effect.  If men
learn this, it will plant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to
exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to
remembrance no longer from within themselves,but by means of external marks.
What you have discovered a recipe not for memory, but for memoranda."

Well.

Flew 22 hours from Sydney, leaving behind three weeks
of wonderful midwinter sunshine (clear blue skies).
Arrived in London dreading the grey skies I'd been
warned about ... and found clear blue skies and a
beautiful mild summer day - with temperatures a few
degrees warmer than Sydney.

I'm going to be here for a couple of weeks - so if
anybody is slipping through on the way to warmer parts
of Europe, drop me a line and let's see if we can
catch up!

Cheers

david,

If I were you, I wouldn;t have told anybody about this.  The weather can only
get worse.  London is the only place I've ever been where it's possible to
feel cold and damp while sweating, or maybe it's vice versa.

On the bright side, go to Liberty and see what they have-- It's a FABULOUS
store, and they may be having their summer sale about now.

This is the only or one of the only preservation mid-career grants and I know
a lot of pinheads (inexplicably) would qualify.

grant to mid-career professionals who have an advanced or professional degree
and at least 10 years' experience in historic preservation or related fields,
including architecture, landscape architecture, architectural conservation,
urban design, environmental planning, archaeology, architectural history, and
the decorative arts. Other smaller grants are made at the discretion of the
Trustees. This year's deadline is September 3, 2002. For information, please
see our web site at <A HREF="http://www.fitchfoundation.org/">www.fitchfoundation.org</A>.

My grandparents brought a cooking stove with them to Los Angeles from The

it wouldn;t work with US gas.  There was also some sort of

places that didn't have municipal gas supplies.

I was reading "Afterimages,"
a book of dance criticism by Arlene Croce,
and I got to page 427 (paperback edition),
at the end of the piece entitled
"Balanchine's girls,"
and the last line of the piece is,

"Darling, all I want is that you should be a pinhead."

I'm not sure but I'll bet there are some not far from there at any rate.  I
fell in love with Baker Library the moment I set eyes on the place 40+
years ago.  I had a friend who worked there.

What's with the duck thing all of a sudden.  Merrill's aunt just died and
she was crazy to have ducks but couldn't as she lived in town.  Her kids
put rubber duckies in the casket with her so she'd have her ducks.  The
science teacher at school wants to hatch ducks next year instead of chicks.
I'll have to see if their quack echos when they swim on the pond.  Ruth

I am going to try the RETURN thing.  My Dad is elderly, why wouldn't he
be--I am myself, but he is beginning to lose it mentally.  So, we--husband,
son and I, are moving into my ancestral home to live with Dad.  It is an
interesting experience.  My great grandfather and great great grandfather
built this house in 1870 and the family has lived there continually since.
Before that the family lived in another house on the same property which
was moved and joined to the "new" house.  That was torn down in 1960s
because it was in such sorry condition.  I hated to see it go and knowing
what I do now would have probably insisted on trying to save it.

As I go about the house cleaning and getting things moved around to make
way for 3 more packrats I am finding mementos of my childhood and wonder if
I think I can go back.  I tell my 14 yo son of all the wonderful things to
do there--he is less than impressed.  All he is concerned about is what's
on cable and his computer access.

So, wish me luck.   If things go as I hope they will we will be meeting
Ralph this weekend and he may get to see this wonder of Vermont
architecture.  Ruth

You have great courage, Ruth. I hope it goes well. What an amazing thing to
go back to home that your family has occupied for so long!! Such a rare
opportunity. I know your son will (eventually) come to appreciate it.

chance under a raging sun.

No petite fors and pink lemonade here; this is hard hat UsA ,New York
dressed in a terrifying collection of saftey harness; muscle shirts, tatoos
, utility belts and alot of neck gold coming from every nationality
imaginable.

Black jamacian masons mix it up with tough well muscled chineese riggers,
there are second generation Irish steel workers from hells kitchen who have
mason gangs of Italians and greeks .Heck there is even a muslim mason from
Afganistan.

So my french crew ; a hearty group of bad boy romeos  fit like an old shoe,
in as  well they work hard and are not afraid of anybody or anything..

There are 3 grills going with bare chested brawny youth in American flag do
rags and bandolier utility belts  turning mountains of chicken ,"brats" and
"burglers" as Mick Jager belts out
"You can't always get what you want"

The men laugh like pirates and dance with one another cradeling cold

Lost is the geenteel conversation of the conservator and architect.The air
is now peppered with bravado and the colorfull lexicon of tough guys , dead

The temperature climbs again to 97 deg ; and the view is a spectacular
sweep of all of lower Manhattan .Boats and ferrys ply the East ad Huson
rivers.
Our massive steel out-riggers bristle the sides of the building like so
many cannon on a galleon;which create pockets of welcomed shade.
Suddenly an an inpromtu game of football erupts with a rolled shirt as the
ball and everyone joined in .

With so many bare chested  tatooed men in head scarfs  dodging and running
about the deck as   grills smoking "brats" in full blast  attracted the
instant attention of police and military heliocopters who came in to
closely monitor the situation  with their sniper crews .
Our men ;patriotic to the core ; promptly unveiled a large american flag
they had brought for the occaison..
As they stood revertly waving  with their flag ; the copters waved back
and then smartly peeled off to the cheers of the men.
Happy fourth Michael

Since I am on the maintenance end of this business I guess I should chime
in here.  The school where I do the bulk of my work is not an old place but
there is one rather historic building which they chose not to keep in very
good repair I can't seem to interest them in doing so.  Money mostly, it is
faculty housing, not student related so the parents don't see it.

Whenever any work is done, for instance this summer a new floor was put in
dining room, I always ask those who install what the proper cleaning and
maintenance should be.  Most times they don't know but can usually get me
some pamphlet from the mfgr.  We try but if the ones doing the work have no
clue how can we maintain?  Ruth

Now that Michael mentions it, you might be wise to bring all your own food.
The Brits are big on boiled cardboard. At least that's what it used to taste

Do I hear foreshadowing of the Rev. Thomas Bowers (formerly of St. Bart's)?
Or perhaps the charming former Bishop Rev. Spong of the Archdiocese of
Newark, who sold off all the REAL Tiffany windows from a Jersey City church,
which is now falling into ruin,  since the diocese pocketed the proceeds and
left the parish (or whatever the Episcopalians call it) high and dry?  Leaky
and wet would be a more accurate description.

I took out the Tiffany's. They were sold to a dealer in Japan thru a broker
in NY, Alistar Duncan of stolen Tiffany's from masoleums in Brooknyn fame who
is now doing time in a fed pen for the crimes - I don't think he's out yet.
I thought the church was sold to a Korean cong. that didn't want to pay for
the Tiffany windows. I haven't been back so I dont know the condition of the
church now.

O boy Ralph, that means when you come to VT we can go jackin' deer wit them
thar maglites.  Are they the big 9 cell one or the itty bitty ones?  Sure
hope they are at least 9 cell but I guess if they were more than that you
wouldn't be able to hold your head up.  Sorry we missed each other this
weekend, let's try for when you come to fetch the chilins home.  Ruth

...and what about maintenance for  a leather floor? I came across one the
other day. The flooring was installed in a 1920s colonial revival home as
part of a high-end 1960s Modern style interior renovation. The leather is
3/8" thick sole leather, in 3"x9" "tiles" (the owner managed a shoe
factory), and is in good condition with the "top grain" still mostly intact.
The past maintenance routine for the flooring is unknown (probably a lot of
loving care from the owner who obviously knew his leathers and loved his
floors). Dispite knowing a little about leather (apprenticed to an old-time
harnessmaker for a year and a half when I was a kid in Nebraska) I'm at a
loss to make a solid recommendation for the maintenance of leather flooring.
Are there any standards or experiences out there?

I have a feeling you da man, John.  Just be sure to tell the rest of us what
you're telling the owner, so we can be da man, too.

Michael

The summer swimming sounds good.

I won't have time this trip to get over to Paris, but
I'll try and call Jean anyway.

We're actually running a one day masonry cleaning
seminar in Sydney on 5 August - and the boys from FG
in Melbourne are supposedly coming up to do a
demonstration.

Don't know whether I'll get down to the Royal
Guardsmen, but Ralph can remain assured that I'm
avoiding the boiled cardboard. IMHO the majority of
that stuff comes from the fastfood chains (didn't they
originate in the US of A?).

Thus far I've had some good Indian, some very average
pasta, some great (Australian) home cooking, and
hopefully tomorrow night some good Thai.

Most importantly, I've made it to the first three
nights of the BBC Prom concerts ... thus partially
fulfilling a long-held dream (the other part is the
Last Night of course).  It has been great to stand in
the Arena at the Royal Albert Hall amongst all these
other people and listen to fantastic music from
orchestras and conductors that previously had just
been oft-heard names on the radio or recordings.  Sir
Charles Mackerras, Orchestra of the Age of
Enlightenment, BBC Symphony, BBC Philharmonic ...

Would love to get up to the ceiling of the RAH to see
the repair works they're doing to the roof at the
moment ... maybe I should make some phonecalls!
They've got an amazing mobile scaffold supported from
two permanent monorails they've put in place ...
really impressive.

Oh, and it has been great weather.  I left Sydney
after three weeks of clear blue skies ... and the past
eight days here in London have been much the same.
Rain is forecast tomorrow, but it has been pretty
wonderful.

Sat in the park yesterday afternoon watching a
colleague's one year old son running around ... then
played Aussie Rules with a gridiron ball and scared
all those round ball enthusiasts away!!

Cheers

david

David, I recall the Royal Albert Hall as round in plan.  What kind of
monorail setup
handles a round ceiling?   I'm thinking of sewage aerators.  Christopher Gray
in Martha's Vineyard

PS  That damn paraffin that some idiot said to put on my porch screens (to
permit the surface tension of the water to block rain blow-through) not only
did not work, it is still there, gumming up the view!  Someone send me a
flamethrower - or wax-eating bugs.

david,

You are entirely correct about the fast-food chains, but I have a feeling the
English have been eating boiled cardboard since long before fast food chains
came into being.

stainless steel gizmo that gives decimal equivalents of fractions of an
inch.

I will try to get up there to see you again.   Meanwhile, it's your turn to
come down South. You don't even have to buy screwdrivers.

Ralph



Ralph,  I sure woulda wet my pants laughing.  If you'd just come visit me I
coulda give you a whole bunch of old screwdrivers and other useless tools.
Then I wouldn't have had to bother to move them.

IF I should ever come to your area I'll bring my own screwdrivers thanks.
I'll bet they cost more down there where everybody is rich and famous.

Let me know when you are coming this way again and I'll give you a private
showing of old tools you never knew existed and certainly didn't know you
needed.  Ruth

Ruth,

You REALLY know how to hurt a guy.

Maybe I should move in with your son, husband and father, and send you down
to Joisey to hone Mrs. Ralph's torture skills.  Not that she needs it.

I already have plenty of tools that I didn't know existed, or that I needed
them, until I saw them.   Not that I couldn't use a few more, though.  Among
my oddities, possession-wise, are a pair of fencing pliers which as I think
about it, I actually used recently to take apart a chain link fence.

Ralph

PS-- No screen dewaxers, though.

You buy the fire sticks, and sign my name to the card.  We can use all the
dues we've collected for the postage.  Plus the $6.99 Ruth thinks I overpaid
for the $7 genuine antique Vermont screwdriver.

NOW I understand why everybody hates it when I say "I told you so."

I'm not sure but I know that the Diocese sold the Tiffanys. Maybe what
happened is that the Koreans weren't able to come up with the cash. I met
some of them when I was taking out the Tiffs.
I don't think I met  Dennis but I forget the name of the man who was

I'm sorry to hear that the Koreans didn't take over. Sometimes that is a

Ralph,  We don't have no screen dewaxers, we're not such hot
housekeepers--don't wax our screens.  So we don't need to dewax them.  But
I'll bet a blowtorch would do the job, and I might just have one of those
kicking around either here or at Dad's.  Ruth

Ralph,  Merrill had an old fencing tool, some years back, that had set out
in the weather a mite too long and got froze up.  Danged thing was plumb
worthless.  Well, we got this assistant head at the school where we do a
lot of work, thinks he's quite a tool aficionado.  One day he found the
fencing tool in a heap of junk we were going to throw in the dumpster and
next thing we knew it was hanging on the wall in the workshop.  Don't think
he ever did find out what it was used for though.  Ruth

Ruth,

If only I'd knew ye then.  Took me awhile to figure out the fence tool, too.
The miraculous part is that there came a time when I actually used it for
its' intended purpose!

Send your dues and we'll tell you.  But first you gotta tell us what material
the screens are.  Copper?  Aluminum? Fiberglass?   White bronze?  If they're
titanium screens, I bet you could send them direct to Steve Jobs, with the
wax still on them.  Whyn'cha try that, for starters?

Which reminds me:  Do you know what comes from Johnson's ears?  Johnson's
wax.

Have a bitchen summer.

Jim,

Having left there 18 years ago, and remembering only fragments of whatever
Dennis told me about the "death" of the church, what I assume happened is
that Spong decided to raise revenue by selling the Tiffany windows, cut back
diocesan expenses by shutting dowan a church that was probably quite poorly
attended at best, and in the bargain, get rid of my friend Dennis (a former
Catholic, a former newspaper reporter who  makes his living as a landlord in
the area around St. John's, and who can be quite a maneuverer and operator)
and his friends (perhaps a few old-time Episcopalians and some more former
Catholics, for the most part) who didn't care for Spong's redirection of
funds to broad social welfare schemes at the expense of Church buildings,
notably the church building in their neighborhood.  I don't remember Dennis
(who lives just down the street from St. John's) mentioning the Koreans, but
I can see where he wouldn't have wanted them to take over.  On the other
hand, is the church better off being used and screwed up, or remaining on the
list of most endangered sites in Joisey?

Enough of boring the rest of the Pinheads with these parochial matters.

RAH is indeed circular in plan, and the roof is
basically a shallow dome.  The monorail is also
circular - it runs around the perimeter of the Hall

Bob,

Consider yourself exempted from paying dues.  There is, however, a backcharge
for misspelling, but under the circumstances, I think we will suspend it.

One of the neatest things about getting older is that I have had the
opportunity to learn from more of my mistakes. It still surprises me that
people listen to what I have to say, but I like it when they get back to me
with their failures because I can learn from their mistakes as well--sort of
a "compounding of the errors." I'm sorry you have a problem with your
screens, but I do thank you for teaching me one more thing about water
repellants.

Bob,

It would appear that your sight and calling are just fine, but I don' know
that our revenue stream can afford to let you off the hook for a lifetime of
spelling fines.

Steve,

Lucky for that we know you're a loyal Southern Republican redneck.  God knows
what some Commie liberal pinko fag might have to say about Ridge, Ashcroft &
Co.

Lucky for Missy Julep and me that New Jersey's full of just plain ol' toxic
waste already, and we don't have room for that radioactive shit.

All right here we go again! I demand that someone in this group start
teaching the rest of us illiterates how to speak all of these Pinhead
languages. When I joined this group I never remember reading anything
pertaining to language requirements. I want my money back.

Life is funny;late the other night there was a smokey haze from a Quebec
forrest fire ;the following was just after work

Grand Central

Like an 800 lb elephant,a low smokey haze settles over the duece(42 street)
plunging the Great White Way into a garish half light of another time.

Empty cabs ;like fireflys in a dirty fog;  jitterbug over pot holes and
nibbling at shadows that scurry east to West near the famous cross roads.
Their tired tire treads pull  at the sticky asphalt delivering a cadence of
guttural "clicks" to the tires movement as they cruise Park and Madison
Its hot; at 1 am on a weekday ;most people drift over to the west side where
the resturants ; diners and clubs tend to stay open longer; as do the hookers
, grifters and street people who follow like floatsum off a barge.
   Not me;     I head for a little bistro off Grand Central where the
bartender suffers from the gift of sports gab and a case of the heavy pour.
We worked hard on our stone tonight and got alot done .
The card game at 11 pm  break went well too ;
 I took a "Grant and  a "jefferson " with three "old men" in seven card draw
;We played atop the Old Pan Am by the lights of our rigs
"Read and weep " ....  I answered ; when I was called on my cards   .
The union steward who held 3 tens was taciturn; ...a lighting storm reflected
from far off  on Brooklyns breezy point; I could see it in his eyes.

The cash felt good in the pocket ; the two notes giggled like kissing cousins
under blankets as I steer clear the taxis towards the bistro.
The bartender is a friend of mine; we talk British Open and the demise of the
Sox (red sox ) by the Yankees.
I order a  Ceaser; and he pours me a large glass of chilled Graves.
The Graves cuts the nights heat  like a knife.
Like a rouge wave  the second taste crashes the dust of the gates  at the
back of the palate and sets them  ardrift in a bite of freshness.
We contemplate Elles victory at Muirfield in The Open ; and the tragic
performance of Sox pitching up in the Bronx.The wine is heady; and sooths the
beast of frustration of a Sox fan in New York

The only other patron on this gloomy night  is an old Roue' who tottered in
with an ancient overnight bag wearing a Red Book suit with matching hat from
the salvation army.
She sits at a table facing the street and staring to the night. Her skin is
parchment white and is drawn tight over  cracked lips ; slashed broadly with
cosmetic red.
 Pancake rouge  settles round and  clownlike on  her cheeks as she orders
her a  glass through watery blue eyes.

Its odd to see the old at this hour in this city . They wander the streets as
if in a time warp; the vibrantcy of the city dismisses them like so much
passing litter.You wonder where they go ; and who cares for them.
I pay for her glass;  and she smiles at us with parched lips and stained
teeth as she raises it to our health. Her watery blue eyes clearly thankfull
for some  small communal  kindness from strangers.
We resume our dialouge as the smokey fog closes in; she stares off into it as
a distant mirror  to some by gone age when her blood was young and the only
stares she got were for her stylish poise and good looks
With memory and body fading ; they hold on to the physical in bizzare ways
appearing like wreckage with bows tied atop them. Broadway bijous (Jewles)
waiting for trains that never come; talking to people long gone.
The weather outside is cruel; the distant storm opens up a cloud
burst;pouring hard ; I turn towards the lady and discover she has gone . Only
her empty glass suggesting her presnce.
The porter mops up as its time to close..I stare vacantly into the empty
streets   and pouring gloom..not a cab to be seen ....I stare way up to Grand
Central and see a lone shadow with suit case hobbling unsteady to  its golden
 light.

<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT  SIZE=2>Life is funny;late the other night there was a smokey haze from a Quebec forrest fire ;the following was just after work

<BR>Like an 800 lb elephant,a low smokey haze settles over the duece(42 street) plunging the Great White Way into a garish half light of another time.

TO: The PRESIDENT / MD of the Company.

Dear Sir,

I have been instructed by my colleague to look for a foreign
partner who can assist us to execute an urgent business
involving huge profit and international cooperation.

We are interested in the importation of Solar Panels,
Agricultural equipment and Computer accessories from overseas
and we need a foreign partner who can assist us with a bank
account for the transfer of ($15 million US dollars). We have
resolved that 20% will be your commission for nominating a new
bank account and a company that will receive this fund on our
behalf and any other assistance you may give in this deal. 10%
of the entire sum has been mapped out to settle any outstanding
expenses we may incur. In the cause on this funds transfer,
while 70% of our share will be used for the importation.

My colleagues and I are civil servants and as members of the
contract review panel. It is against the (code of conduct
bureau) for us to operate a foreign account; hence we are
soliciting your firm support. We can finalize the transaction
in ten working days.

If this deal is accepted please respond to us via e-mail to
enable us provide you with the detailed modalities for the
successful completion of the project. There is no risk
involved, we just need international contact.

I hope to here from you through this e-mail address so that I
can give more information and updates. PLEASE contact me as
soon as possible. GOD BLESSES.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr. David West

Mary,

I somehow think this is another David West, as opposed to our david west.
Besides which, 20% of $15 million is nothing to sneeze at in MY book,
especially for something as eco-friendly as solar panels, but then I'm not
one of you rich people in Montclair.  I was pretty excited to find $1.74 in
change down at the Mall today, which I'm pretty sure fell out of a dryer
somebody had thrown out.  But YOU probably would've just walked away.

I am shocked that you have so little faith in humanity, and think we may have
to convene a special meeting of the non-officers at the Pignic to consider
your heartless and fiscally imprudent actions in this matter.  You would be
wise to provide refreshments at this meeting.

Tsk, tsk.

Ralph

 Missy,

I was going to try to schedule my open heart surgery around the Pignic, but
if you're serving Gatorade, forget it.  I'd rather eat jello.

Ladies and gentlemen

If we were talking about ethical investments, then
solar panels would seem a great way to go,
particularly in a poor nation that has no other way to
provide energy to the masses for watching of American
soap operas, international sporting extravaganzas and
all manner of other claptrap that gets served up by
the networks as entertainment.

However, history has shown us thus far that solar
panels are not great investments, and hence my alter
ego (of which there are many, I hasten to assure you)
has clearly failed to appreciate the most important
aspect of business.

I wish him the best of luck, because he will probably
need it, and I wish you all the best of fortune, which
will probably be achieved by avoiding opportunities
which come uncanvassed via the mass media.

Nonetheless, should any of you doubt the identity of
anybody calling themselves david west, just ask them
for the BP sign ... and all will be revealed!

Good morning from grey London
david

Mmmm. Michael, I love your writing.

The smoke reminds me of the bushfires in Sydney 18
months ago. Horrendous hazes over the harbour;
container ships disappearing from view as they slid
under the bridge; the city buildings gone as if the
world had suddenly split in two; everything takes on a
new perspective in that mysterious light.

The great English writers really knew how to weave
spells with the London fogs ... now we have to wait
for fires to bring some of that magic into our lives.

Cheers

david

Subject: Re: Grand Central


Life is funny;late the other night there was a smokey haze from a Quebec
forrest fire ;the following was just after work

Grand Central

Like an 800 lb elephant,a low smokey haze settles over the duece(42
street) plunging the Great White Way into a garish half light of another
time.

Empty cabs ;like fireflys in a dirty fog;  jitterbug over pot holes and
nibbling at shadows that scurry east to West near the famous cross
roads.
Their tired tire treads pull  at the sticky asphalt delivering a cadence
of guttural "clicks" to the tires movement as they cruise Park and
Madison
Its hot; at 1 am on a weekday ;most people drift over to the west side
where the resturants ; diners and clubs tend to stay open longer; as do
the hookers , grifters and street people who follow like floatsum off a
barge.
  Not me;     I head for a little bistro off Grand Central where the
bartender suffers from the gift of sports gab and a case of the heavy
pour.
We worked hard on our stone tonight and got alot done .
The card game at 11 pm  break went well too ;
I took a "Grant and  a "jefferson " with three "old men" in seven card
draw  ;We played atop the Old Pan Am by the lights of our rigs
"Read and weep " ....  I answered ; when I was called on my cards   .
The union steward who held 3 tens was taciturn; ...a lighting storm
reflected from far off  on Brooklyns breezy point; I could see it in his
eyes.

The cash felt good in the pocket ; the two notes giggled like kissing
cousins under blankets as I steer clear the taxis towards the bistro.
The bartender is a friend of mine; we talk British Open and the demise
of the Sox (red sox ) by the Yankees.
I order a  Ceaser; and he pours me a large glass of chilled Graves.
The Graves cuts the nights heat  like a knife.
Like a rouge wave  the second taste crashes the dust of the gates  at
the back of the palate and sets them  ardrift in a bite of freshness.
We contemplate Elles victory at Muirfield in The Open ; and the tragic
performance of Sox pitching up in the Bronx.The wine is heady; and
sooths the beast of frustration of a Sox fan in New York

The only other patron on this gloomy night  is an old Roue' who tottered
in with an ancient overnight bag wearing a Red Book suit with matching
hat from the salvation army.
She sits at a table facing the street and staring to the night. Her skin
is parchment white and is drawn tight over  cracked lips ; slashed
broadly with cosmetic red.
Pancake rouge  settles round and  clownlike on  her cheeks as she orders
her a  glass through watery blue eyes.

Its odd to see the old at this hour in this city . They wander the
streets as if in a time warp; the vibrantcy of the city dismisses them
like so much passing litter.You wonder where they go ; and who cares for
them.
I pay for her glass;  and she smiles at us with parched lips and stained
teeth as she raises it to our health. Her watery blue eyes clearly
thankfull for some  small communal  kindness from strangers.
We resume our dialouge as the smokey fog closes in; she stares off into
it as a distant mirror  to some by gone age when her blood was young and
the only stares she got were for her stylish poise and good looks
With memory and body fading ; they hold on to the physical in bizzare
ways appearing like wreckage with bows tied atop them. Broadway bijous
(Jewles) waiting for trains that never come; talking to people long
gone.
The weather outside is cruel; the distant storm opens up a cloud
burst;pouring hard ; I turn towards the lady and discover she has gone .
Only her empty glass suggesting her presnce.
The porter mops up as its time to close..I stare vacantly into the empty
streets   and pouring gloom..not a cab to be seen ....I stare way up to
Grand Central and see a lone shadow with suit case hobbling unsteady to
its golden  light.

     Michael july/o2

Awww come on Ralf. These companies just had a slight problem with their
capital. Heck before you know they will be up and running at full steam
again. They had no idea what they were doing was illegal. They have been
doing it for so long they began to think that it really was OK. Oh, by the
way if anyone is interested I still have plenty of Rolex watches and plenty
of Enron, Adelphia, and WorldCom stock that I will sell real cheap. Please
call me as soon as possible these stocks and watches are going fast. When you
call, you will get my message "Due to high call volume your call will be
taken in the order that it was received in." Please stay on the line and I
will take your call as soon as I can. Please be patient. Thank you for your
support. Just for a little reassurance I have three incredibly knowledgeable,
honest, and straight forward men working for me. Let me introduce to all of
my Pinhead counterparts, Mr. Kenneth Lay, Scott Sullivan, and Bernard
(Bernie) Ebbers. If anyone is interested in my financial disclosures please
contact my accounting firm, Arthur Andersen. I'm currently trying to
negotiate a sentence.... I mean contract for a couple of other knowledgeable,
honest, and straight forward men, John and Timothy Rigas. I'm currently
having problems contacting them at their Manhattan condos. Ralf can you
possibly assist me in trying to locate the Rigas family. I would greatly
appreciate that.

Steve,

Good, rock solid Republican businessmen, the pillars of salt of the earth.

Actually there was a story in the NY Times, just about the time the Adelphia
story broke (which was NOT broken by our intrepid reported, Chrif of the
Waxed Fcreenf, I might add) that reported having found another member of the
Rigas family right in the heart of Minhattin: a new species of 82-legged
centipede found in the leaf mold in Central Park.

My wizard son Case (who's working in my office this summer) sez:

Use a converter plug with a transformer attached, which should adjust the
power it needs. If you just use a converter plug, you won't get enough power
from the 110.

But I'm just the mom.

All of the paint will be removed. The front north facing wall has already had
the paint removed. Unfortunately the company that removed the paint did so
with chemical, pressure washer, and I'm sure wire brushes. Although I did not
see them using wire brushes I have watched them on several occasions use wire
brushes to remove excess mortar from the brick as they repoint a building.
They are also quite fond of Portland cement mortars. And of course they call
themselves a masonry restoration company. This particular clay brick was used
quite extensively here and I see it deteriorating everywhere it has been
used. But what is somewhat amusing to me is, some people seem to think that
if they slap paint on the brick it will stop the deterioration. I'm also
finding bits and pieces of coal in the mortar, anyone ever seen this before.
I've seen burnt and unburned pieces of wood but never coal.

Others on this list and on BP can provide you with detailed information on testing and identifying the brick and the paint, and the history of brick technology.&nbsp; I'm afraid I am a "concept" guy, rather than one who remembers details. Thinking of odd concepts, I wonder what a building would look like if you removed all the brick and left the voids in a brick wall.&nbsp; Sort of a modern web-like look I suppose.&nbsp; Hmmm.&nbsp; (Not all concepts are created equal.) <BR>

The front north facing wall has already had the paint removed. Unfortunately the company that removed the paint did so with chemical, pressure washer, and I'm sure wire brushes. Although I did not see them using wire brushes I have watched them on several occasions use wire brushes to remove excess mortar from the brick as they repoint a building. They are also quite fond of Portland cement mortars. And of course they call themselves a masonry restoration company. This particular clay brick was used quite extensively here and I see it deteriorating everywhere it has been used. But what is somewhat amusing to me is, some people seem to think that if they slap paint on the brick it will stop the deterioration. I'm also finding bits and pieces of coal in the mortar, anyone ever seen this before. I've seen burnt and unburned pieces of wood but never coal.<BR>

>I have a 220 pump from Spain.  I have forgotten: do you burn out the pum=

if
its 110 and you plug it into a 220 outlet, or do you burn it out if you

a 220 pump and you plug it into 110?  Or both?

Sign me,  Third Rail<

Depending on the nature of the device, 220 devices run on 110 will either=

run at 1/2 speed or not at all. You may try out the pump and see if it
works well enough to use. Electronic devices which convert the AC input t=
o
DC with an internal transformer probably won't do anything, but if they
work at all, they are probably OK. =


The danger is in plugging 110 devices into 220 where the higher voltage
will cause damage. Voltage converters cut the higher voltage to lower. Mo=
st
of them are too wimpy to use with anything that takes a lot of power. I
don't know how well it works turning 110 into 220. It would I think doubl=
e
the amperage demand (Ohm's law). Computers now usually have dual voltage
capability built in and only need the appropriate cord with plug for the
country you are in. As they all use one of two kinds of attachment to the=

power supply, any electronics store could sell you one. 12 years ago, I h=
ad
an old laptop which did not have a dual voltage power supply, and my trav=
el
converter failed while in Egypt, passing 220 volts back to the computer.
Its power supply burned out but I didn't know that until the battery died=
.
Even then I did not attribute it to the travel converter. I had assumed
that a properly designed converter would stop passing current if it faile=
d.
If you use a converter which is not up to the demand, however, it may jus=
t
give up and let all the juice go through. The dual voltage supplies used =
in
most computers now (saving the manufacturers from having to make differen=
t
models for us than for most of the world) simply block voltage greater th=
an
110 from going through, then convert the 110 to their operating DC voltag=
e
(usually 12). Consumer electronics such as radios, TVs, stereos, are
usually not dual voltage although these are available. Since there are
usually other regional differences as well (radio frquencies, TV scanning=

systems) presumably the mfgrs don't find it cost-effective. =

OK crew, there have been a lot of posts in the past about masonry =
consolidants of various types, but I've never seen anything about =
wood....

I have a situation here with the Uncle's parlour floor that I have a =
question about.
It is some type of pine or fir, kind of orange colored, and dates to the =
1870's.
It had something over it at some point, like linoleum or something, =
and/or it was painted brown, but nothing is left but a residual bit of =
gunk, and most of that is worn away in the traffic areas, and the floor =
is splintering. The wood is all "dried out", even in this humidity.=20

I doubt I could even sand it, at this point. The surface comes up in big =
splinters when I just walk across it in socks in a lot of places. I want =
to refinish it in some way that is very low maintenance, but my only =
experience with wood floors has been with jobs where the flooring itself =
was still in real good shape and just needed sanding etc, and then we =
cleaned up stains, matched patches for old register cutouts, and put =
down multiple coats of polyurethane. Nothing complicated.

Where should I look for information to get started on deciding a course =
of action?

Steve,

Could be "impurities" in the local sand supply.  There seem to be sand-size
grains of brownstone in the "historic" (c 1880-1930) mortar where I live.
Nobody sells sand-sized crushed brownstone, though, and I haven't managed to
waddle down and inspect the banks of the Passaic River; there is a fair
amount of brownstone rubble in excavations hereabouts, though.

Deb,

Splinters happen.  (You can quote me on this, but if you sell it as a bumper
sticker, I want a piece of the inaction)

Sand and varnish (I'd go with 4 coats) the bejesus out of it.  Use one of the

Isn't that easy?

Deb,

Are you certain that what you've uncovered was intended to be a finished
floor?  Is there a water source or other explaination for the
deterioration?  Send Bryan a photo.  He knows wood real good.  I guess I
don't like urathane solutions and would just as soon replace the bad
material rather than transform it into a plastic coated something that
used to be wood floor.  But then its not my money.

Speaking of which, I can't spend all day everyday at the mail box Ralph!

As a result, depending on the method used for recovering the quick-lime
from the kiln, coal chunks and particles could have been included.

Well, whoopie-do.

I'VE (more precisely, Ralph Aia has) been proposed by the President and Board
of Directors as a full member of The National Trust for Historic
Preservation!!!!!!  AND they sent me a sticker for the window of my car.  I
am so happy.

Except for one thing:  will they still accept me as a new member if they ever
find out that I've been a member for something like 30 years already??????
Will they take back their sticker?  I am so worried.

Sign me,

Query from NPS

==============
Glacier National Park is planning to re-roof the Many Glacier Hotel
(National Historic Landmark) this fall.  The original roofing material was
a cement asbestos tile placed in a "honeycomb pattern" (basically a diamond
pattern with the bottom point cut off).  The tile was replaced with wood
shingles in the 1950s.  The only manufacturer identified with a similar
substitute material is Cembrit of Denmark.  The company will not warranty
its product for installation in this environment.

Has anyone found an appropriate substitute for cement asbestos shingles in
this pattern?

Doesn't this just piss you off? Just think of how many other current members
they send the same crap to. Just think of how much money they spend on this.

I would look into why the manufacturer won't guarantee it, and consider using
it despite the lack of guarantee, unless there's in fact some compelling
"environmental" difference. We ain't talking about using Hawaiian palm fronds
for roofing in what one would assume to be a winter-driven climate.  If they
can't use the Danish stuff, I would recommend slate (NOT Penna slate, either)
cut to match the original cement asbestos.

Glad it ain't my problem, though.

No, I think it's a wonderful thing.  Keeps all the lumberjacks and papermill
workers, printers and direct mail assholes in their high-paying jobs, instead
of working for Enron.

Mr. T,

They're very good, and we're very fortunate that they're so alert to
fundraising opportunities.  Think how much it would cost us if they weren't!

They are also better at collecting dues than the Pinheads.

The building that Vandalia Heritage Foundation, co-host of IPTW-2002, uses
for their office building is an old victorian residence. They stripped the
interior with some sort of Soy Paint Remover and were very pleased with how
it performed.   Michael Mills is now with Vandalia (he ws not there during
the re-do project) and can get information for you on what was used.

I get that too, along with ones for: increasing my PENIS size, a degree in
most anything--but not historic preservation, all sorts of NATURAL herbs,
and on and on.  As we are moving soon I have unsubbed from nearly all the
lists I was on--just staying on here and one Alzheimer's disease list till
the last minute.  I am still getting over 200 messages a day all but about
10 being junk.  I am changing internet providers when we move.  Hope it
will take the junkies a while to catch up with me.  Ruth

There are deposits of brown and red-brown sands to be found in the
Connecticut Valley. Two years ago we needed to find a specific size of
red-brown sand for a project in San Francisco. We ended up drying and
screening about 30,000 pounds of sand to get about 1000 pounds of just
what we were looking for.

If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one
year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original
$1,000.00.

With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of beer one year
ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for
the 5 cent deposit, you would have $60.00.

Based on the above, the course is clear: drink heavily and recycle.

Aha, this reminds me of the time I was in love with the Baltimore bred

In the past I've suggested a day trip to a sand mine... but got a sour
response. There is a lot to sand that people do not think about.

Sounds to me like what I have always referred to as "southern hard pine" or
"long leaf pine". It makes a beautiful wood floor and is most often found in
utilitarian rooms like kitchens and attics. I love the look but the
splinters are nasty. I suggest that you try sanding an area and see what
happens. I have always had success even when the floor looked bad.

Let us know how it works out!

Subject: wood consolidants


OK crew, there have been a lot of posts in the past about masonry
consolidants of various types, but I've never seen anything about wood....

I have a situation here with the Uncle's parlour floor that I have a
question about.
It is some type of pine or fir, kind of orange colored, and dates to the
1870's.
It had something over it at some point, like linoleum or something, and/or
it was painted brown, but nothing is left but a residual bit of gunk, and
most of that is worn away in the traffic areas, and the floor is
splintering. The wood is all "dried out", even in this humidity.

I doubt I could even sand it, at this point. The surface comes up in big
splinters when I just walk across it in socks in a lot of places. I want to
refinish it in some way that is very low maintenance, but my only experience
with wood floors has been with jobs where the flooring itself was still in
real good shape and just needed sanding etc, and then we cleaned up stains,
matched patches for old register cutouts, and put down multiple coats of
polyurethane. Nothing complicated.

Where should I look for information to get started on deciding a course of
action?

Ken,

Maybe we could introduce your dyke to mine (AKA the PenPal). Just hope you didn't spend 7 years chasing yours.  Mine didn't decide until some years later that she didn't like boys.

Talk about torquing one's shorts....

Well, one day in the rental house in Lansing, NY I was rolling a dead

up to answer the add for the spare room, the one I was vacating to move into
the barn with the barn swallows, another experiment I suppose along with a
diet of dandelion greens -- I had to climb over the frig to say hello. Sara
had to climb over the frig to see the room. The fact that one wall in the
room I had half painted black, just enough so that if I rolled over in bed I
saw a black wall, that it did not seem to phase her, that, along with her
claiming one day that my blue eyes reminded her of Samuel Becket -- well that
sort of started it. I found out early she was a metalic sculptress, a twin,
and from Baltimore. We undertook a rather stormy relationship, and a great
deal of creative misunderstandings. Eventually we wore each other out. I
ended up reading an awful lot of Carl Jung -- his Bollingen collected works
versions. My relationship following was with a color-field painter who had
spent four years in Bellevue for treatment of her heroin addiction. Jill had
a cat that had a habit of covertly shitting on all of the personal bed
pillows in the communal house.

There is "redstone" along I-91 in Greenfield, MA area.  It is quite soft
and crumbly.  Also must be some in the Champlain valley as Univ VT has/had
it's lovely Redstone Campus.  I haven't been up that way for many years so
I don't know  if they still have it or if they sold/demolished it.  What
made redstone anyway?  Ruth

Perhaps you should have suggested a trip to inspect the sand in the
Bahamas in February. You might fortify your arguments with the IRS if
you present them with receipts for toxic dust respirators.

There is a kool looking one on Long Island out near Exit 49 on the LIE. Lots
of different colored piles of sand. I'll check into if they will let us in,
there is also Scofield in NJ that, though not a mine, may be interesting as
well. There has to be a few up the Hudson as well that may be worth checking
into.

Ralph, I shoulda known that!!!!  My ex used to try to explain how
electricity works, over and over and over.  I never did get it but I would
get sick of hearing him and tell him "it's a mystery of God."  Just one of
the many reasons he's now my ex.  Ruth

Thanks Leland  that was good; as was Kens girlfriend story; this time last
year I was very close tio the Enron story

My friend Doug worked for Enron; he was the manger of the New York office,
and this time last year I was staying with him at his digs over in the
tenderloin on 44th.

The Pan Am had been rough for me ; there were alot of crass micro managers
there who didn't give a crap about restoration plus they thought they owned
you.
 I bristled up against them like a porcupine to a maundering bear...it wasn't
pretty

 Id come home at night worn out from fighting and the double dealing of
palace politics that made Machivelli look like Clara Barton..
..Doug was there; and over refreshment he would tell me about Enron;
as capo du tuti capo of the New York office... he hadn't an idea about what
was going on in Texas ; like me he had no uncles or "beards" in the Texas
office ; his communication was icy....he felt out of the loop ..and it was
getting worse..
He just didn't understand; he would say     he was delivering for them yet he
was getting iced .We both took our jobs personally

Many a late summer and early sept  night passed like this until 911 when we
saw the incoming  planes over the Pan Am; And as  the towers collapsed  the
world changed ...so did the  infrastructure of Enron begin its list to
starboard. .
Doug said he spent the nest few months literally re arranging the deck chairs
in futile attempts  of  unexplained directives from Texas.
 When the great ship finally went down .
.. Doug lost $250,000 in retirement; unlike older  employees  he is now  back
on his feet doing investment banking .
The Pan Am is finishing up this next month looking good; despite all the
blood and acrimony on the floor .. Me ; Im back home letting my 2 1/2 yr old
chase me around  the grape arbor. in constructive therapy.... see you at PTN
....best Michael

The distinguished gentleman is correct.  God made granite, and that other guy made everything else, stonewise.  Including Tuckahoe marble, but definitely brownstone.

Ruth,

If he didn't say it louder every time he tried to explain it, you probably shoulda hung onto him (that's what Mrs. Ralph accuses me of).  Norman Weiss once told me that nobody really knows how glue works.
Meanwhile, you never mentioned that there was an Ex-Mr. Ruth.  So you're used goods, huh?

Ruth,

Truth is that nobody knows how electricity works, and if they think that they
do, then they are full of crap. Ask any physicist or electrician that has
thought about it longer than you ex.

Steve,

Oh shucks! Try it. Any story will do for starters, like w/ sourdough. You
know how many years it took me to figure out how screwed up I was so's I
could talk about it now? I do intend to read/tell a few stories, though,
maybe, at the Creative Moose session.

You mean a sandbank?  We got 'em.  Gravel banks are more interesting
though.  Gotta be careful since they can cave in and bury ya.  I spent one
VERY long evening picking gravel out of the ass of a drunk guy after a
gravel bank cave in when I worked OR many years ago.  Ruth

There is a kool looking one on Long Island out near Exit 49 on the LIE.
Lots of different colored piles of sand. I'll check into if they will let
us in, there is also Scofield in NJ that, though not a mine, may be
interesting as well. There has to be a few up the Hudson as well that may
be worth checking into.

Its not THAT wide spread.  Its kind of confined to parts of NJ, NY and
PA...maybe immigrants are bringing it into southern New England.  West
of the them hills that pass for Mts in the vertically challenged little
states along the eastern seaboard, it gets pronounced with two
syllables...yous-ez.  But more common is "you guys".  The one I like is
"you guys-ez".

Bull SHIT!

Bryan was supposed to send his dues to ME, not the other way around.  In fact I don't see any indication in the records that YOU'VE paid, either.  The whole lot of youse are a buncha goddam deadbeats.

Ken,

Reference to the piece of stone would properly call it a sill, as one would call a piece of masonry at the bottom of a window to be a sill.  The wooden thingie at the bottom of a door is probably a sill also, but a metal (alum or bronze) strip would be a saddle.   We need John Leeke or one of our carpenter cohorts to confirm this.  As long as they agree with me, that is.

Hello, here is a new topic of discussion.
What options can be considered aside from skinning a brick building if it is
determined during an otherwise logical process of grinding and tuckpointing
, that the mortar beyond the 3/4" deep joint is dead, and actually all the
mortar of the backup masonry is quite finished (soft, powdery, no bond, nice
continuous sandy stream when tapped)?  In the areas of distress - displaced
brick at step cracks, cracked bricks, loose bricks, settled arches, the
brick is called for rebuild which will now include multi-wythe
reconstruction.  At what point do I stop - If I go until sound mortar is
found, the building will be gone.  So, the next question is if the exterior
wythe is not showing distress, the previously pointed mortar is intact, yet
I can assume everything behind it is 'dead',  - do I bother with grinding
and pointing if it is visually 'not broken,'  should I consider
consolidating the backup with something injectable, or can I just leave it
as is?

Mary,

My response to the question posed is, "I don't know."

but...as is my tendency...I have another question.  Why is the interior
mortar, "dead"?  Is it caused by water?  If the water is not coming from
the outer surface of the wall, where is it coming from and has it been
stopped?

Rudy,

For starters, I don't think anybody makes threshholds out of stone these
days.  Maybe in the days when one threshed more frequently they made 'em
outta stone, and specifically for use at the entrance to a threshing floor.
Nowadays, a threshhold would probably be made out of aluminum or bronze
probably, maybe wood.  Actually, as I think about it, on a door schedule, the
piece of wood or metal (or a strip of marble at a bathroom or kitchen door)
directly beneath the closed door leaf would be listed as a saddle.
If you went into a lumberyard and asked for a threshhold or a saddle or a
sill, they'd probably ask you whether you wanted wood or aluminum, and would
probably tell you to get hosed if you wanted a bronze one.
 But as far as I'm concerned, a big piece of stone at an exterior door
forming a sill is called a sill.

What say ye, merry Twzbil, in your capacity as a Architect?

Ralph

Ken,

Reference to the piece of stone would properly call it a sill, as one would
call a piece of masonry at the bottom of a window to be a sill.  The wooden
thingie at the bottom of a door is probably a sill also, but a metal (alum or
bronze) strip would be a saddle.   We need John Leeke or one of our carpenter
cohorts to confirm this.  As long as they agree with me, that is.

Ralph

Hugh issues here Mary, I suspect not many will respond cause you and your
firm need to consider the liability. First as usual a few questions cause I
am not sure I want to suggest anything less than rebuilding but know that
that is not what you are really looking for I will take a poke at something
less than that to start...
What type of structure is it? (brick with wood framed floors?)
How thick are the walls? (3-wythe?)
How tall? (6-stories or less?)
What kind of forces do you realistically expect on the facade?
Could you expect a dry laid back-up wall with 1-inch of the outer brick
mortared in place be expected to stand up?
What caused the deterioration?

That's enough for now........

Subject: dead mortar - what are my options?


Hello, here is a new topic of discussion.
What options can be considered aside from skinning a brick building if it is
determined during an otherwise logical process of grinding and tuckpointing
, that the mortar beyond the 3/4" deep joint is dead, and actually all the
mortar of the backup masonry is quite finished (soft, powdery, no bond, nice
continuous sandy stream when tapped)?  In the areas of distress - displaced
brick at step cracks, cracked bricks, loose bricks, settled arches, the
brick is called for rebuild which will now include multi-wythe
reconstruction.  At what point do I stop - If I go until sound mortar is
found, the building will be gone.  So, the next question is if the exterior
wythe is not showing distress, the previously pointed mortar is intact, yet
I can assume everything behind it is 'dead',  - do I bother with grinding
and pointing if it is visually 'not broken,'  should I consider
consolidating the backup with something injectable, or can I just leave it
as is?

Mary,

It is my professional opinion that your client is, as we say in the New York
Architectural, Construction, and Histo Presto Community, in deep shit.

You may be able to do some sort of cutting and grout injection on a piecemeal
basis until it's all done; you'd have to talk to a engineer and/or one of the
grout manufacturers to see whether it's even doable.

It would be wise to do sample areas using various methods, to establish
whether each option is doable, what it will cost, and whether the results are
satisfactory.  Under no circumstances should you leave your client with a
building consisting of dead mortar without making it clear in writing that
this is the situation, and that you cannot be responsible for the condition
and specifically the structural stability of the building in its current
condition.  You need to spell out the repair options and associated costs and
let (i.e., force) him to decide how to proceed.

Let us know how this works out.  Sounds like a potentially great horror
story.  Good luck.

Ralph, AIA

<BR>It is my professional opinion that your client is, as we say in the New York Architectural, Construction, and Histo Presto Community, in deep shit.
<BR>
<BR>You may be able to do some sort of cutting and grout injection on a piecemeal basis until it's all done; you'd have to talk to a engineer and/or one of the grout manufacturers to see whether it's even doable.
<BR>
<BR>It would be wise to do sample areas using various methods, to establish whether each option is doable, what it will cost, and whether the results are satisfactory. &nbsp;Under no circumstances should you leave your client with a building consisting of dead mortar without making it clear in writing that this is the situation, and that you cannot be responsible for the condition and specifically the structural stability of the building in its current condition. &nbsp;You need to spell out the repair options and associated costs and let (i.e., force) him to decide how to proceed.
<BR>
<BR>Let us know how this works out. &nbsp;Sounds like a potentially great horror story. &nbsp;Good luck.
<BR>
<BR>Ralph, AIA</FONT></HTML>

Rudy,

As we say in the New York Architectural Construction Histo Presto world,
"Hell if I know."  Half the time (the good half, no doubt) my responses to
Pinhead stuff don't get through.
