In June of every year the Corps of Engineers holds an open house at the Soo Locks, and thousands of fans show up to explore the grounds, view the passing ships from an unusual perspective, and look over the exhibits. Yesterday was that day, and Joan and I were among the crowd. Here we see some of the visitors crossing the massive gate which holds back Lake Superior at the the downriver end of the 105 foot wide Poe Lock.
While Sault Ste. Marie is an ancient city by North American standards--the first white settlers arrived in the 1500s, and there's been a city at this location since 1638--the event which defines the modern Sault occurred on June 18, 1855, when a ship named the Illinois traversed the then-new Soo Locks and opened traffic between Lake Superior and the rest of the Great Lakes--thus connecting the Lake Superior iron and copper mines to the eastern United States. The locks have been rebuilt and expanded since then, but the traffic's been constant, and constitute an important part of the American economy.
They're celebrating the sesquicentennial this summer, and the celebration began yesterday. We missed the opening ceremony, but had a fine time wandering the grounds and watching as St. Clair and Herbert C. Jackson passed through the locks yesterday.

Soldiers from the 173rd Brigade Engineer Battalion, part of the Wisconsin Army National Guard’s 32nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, depart the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Madison, Wis., Monday morning (Sept. 11) as part of a convoy en route to Florida to assist with Hurricane Irma response efforts there. Gov. Scott Walker issued Executive Order 254 Sept. 8, which authorized Wisconsin’s adjutant general to call Wisconsin National Guard troops to state active duty to assist Florida through an Emergency Management Assistance Compact request made by Florida Gov. Rick Scott. More than 2,500 Wisconsin National Guard troops have been activated for this mission. The Wisconsin National Guard’s mission set will be determined upon arrival in Florida, but could include rescuing Floridians trapped by floodwaters, preventing injuries and protecting property.

Located just north of the Bluewater Bridge, at Port Huron Michigan.
Fort Gratiot, named after General Charles Gratiot, the engineer in charge of its construction, was established in 1814 to guard the juncture of Lake Huron and the St. Clair River.
The Fort Gratiot Lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse in Michigan and the second oldest on the Great Lakes. The first lighthouse in this area was built in 1825 and was located approximately where the first Blue Water Bridge stands. Due to poor construction and a storm, it collapsed in 1828. In 1829, a new lighthouse was built north of the military fort by Lucius Lyon, who later became one of Michigan's first U.S. Senators. The new location made it easier for ships to spot as they entered the rapids at the head of the St. Clair River.
The storm which followed this shot was furious, wet, windy, cold. Then, the sun came back out.
LARGE is better.

Here are a few pics of an engine casualty we had a while back. We spun a couple of main bearings (which then fried and melted to the crank and rods) and broke the oil pump. One of the pistons overheated and caused the liner o-rings to fail, which then flooded the crankcase with coolant.

Mt Judah Hike, 26 September 2017
My daughter Elizabeth and I have climbed Mt. Judah around 10 times in her 25 years. The first time she was 1 and in a baby backpack most of the way, although she did walk part of it herself. After that, we did not go again until she and younger daughter Caroline were in elementary school and we did the hike several times with several different friends and their families. Then everyone got busy again and it wasn't until Elizabeth was in college the we went for the hike again. We last did it in 2014, and now, as the season is getting late, we decided it was time before snow closed the trail for the winter.
Elizabeth's boyfriend Jesse and our dog Skittles went along. Skittles has been on our last several hikes. We took chi-wiener Lupe a couple of times, but on her last hike, she had to be carried down the mountain and that was the end of that! Skittles still is full of energy and had no problem leading the way.
Mt. Judah, named for Theodore Judah, the engineer who plotted the Central Pacific's route across the Sierra, is pierced by Summit Tunnel 41, the 2 mile long tunnel that has the 7000' crest of the grade just inside its west portal. The original route, ow abandoned, goes through Tunnel 6 to the north of Mt Judah, then curves along the mountain's east slope and is joined by the 1920s alignment at Eder about a half mile east of the east portal of Tunnel 41.
To the west can be seen Summit Valley, Lake Mary and the snowsheds at Norden, as well as the Sugar Bowl ski resort that has a chair lift to the summit of Mt. Judah. Rain and snow that fall on the mountain's west slope wind up in the Yuba River and, eventually, in the Pacific Ocean. Rain and snow that fall a few feet away to the east of the summit flow down to Donner Lake and then to the Truckee River, emptying into Pyramid Lake in Nevada. Pyramid Lake has no outlet and water eventually evaporates from it. It is part of the Great Basin drainage system that also includes the Great Salt Lake in Utah and the Humboldt River that the railroad and I-80 follow across much of Nevada.
Both Elzabeth and Jesse graduated from CSU Sacramento in May with degrees in geology and going for a hike up an extinct volcano with a couple of geologists gave me some new insights into the mountain that I'd never known before. There are layers of ash and pyroclastic flow interspersed, and at the summit, lava that solidified in volcanic vents. In other areas, there is granite, also igneous rock, but shot out of a volcano.
On the drive up, we passed an empty grain train climbing the line at Emigrant Gap. It arrived at the summit as we arrived at a gap in the trees and I got a few photos as it passed. As the climb progressed, we zig zagged up the north side of the mountain at the start, then traversed the west side o the mountain to a spot above the west portal to T-41 where the Mt Judah trail splits from the Pacific Crest Train and climbs back up the north side of the mountain, curving around to the east side. In that area, we saw some snow from the week before's early snowstorm.
As we climbed the east face traverse of the mountains, a late running westbound California Zephyr came into view above Donner Lake between Shed 47 and Eder. I paused for a few photos, then continued to the summit, where we ate and rested for a while.
Mt. Judah's summit is a long ridge with a couple of higher peaks. One of the peaks is at the south end and we walked there to admire the view. You can see down into Coldstream Canyon where Stanford is on the railroad and as we looked around I saw something moving, which turned out to be a westbound stack train.
From the top of Mt. Judah, you can see to the Highway 263 bridge over the tracks and Truckee River east of downtown Truckee and some areas of Truckee. The tracks pass through Truckee, then start the final climb to the summit up the southeast side of Coldstream Canyon, go around Stanford Curve and continue up Schallenberger Ridge on the other side of the canyon, climbing all the while. At the east end of Schallenberger Ridge, the tracks take another horseshoed curve, this on in tunnels at Andover, and emerge on the ridge over Donner Lake which is visible most of the way to Eder before the tracks curve away from the lake and then into Tunnel 41.
The tracks on the south side of Schallenberger Ridge are not visible from Mt. Judah, but shortly after the Andover Tunnels, the stack train became visible again and we watched it snake above the lake, then negotiate the curves that pointed it, eventually, to the east portal of Tunnel 41. As the DPU vanished into the Big Hole we got into position and watched it emerge from the west portal and head to Norden. On and off, the train was visible for over 20 minutes from the summit.
As the stacker passed through the Norden sheds, we started making our way down the mountain. We hiked to the ski lift and side stepped our way down the steel skiing slope until we hit a Jeep trail that led us back to the Pacific Crest Trail. As we descended down the ski run called Tunnel 41, UP was kind enough to send another no grainer east and I got a couple shots of it as it entered the Big Hole.
Then it was time to get back to the car as the sun headed for the mountains that form the western horizon here. We made it before the light faded and then went east to get a couple shots of Donner Lake, Donner Peak and the old railroad grade from the road before heading home.

Maryland Army National Guard Soldiers from the 253rd Engineer Company (Sapper) hitched a ride with the New Hampshire Air Guard to Puerto Rico this year for annual training. Nearly 50 Citizen Soldiers from the La Plata, Md., based unit along with eight soldiers from Bosnia and Herzegovina flew to Camp Santiago Joint Maneuver Training Center July 13-27. While there, they trained side-by-side with the 1013th Engineer Company (Sapper) and the 232nd Dive Team from Puerto Rico. The Maryland and Puerto Rican Citizen Soldiers shared best practices, experiences, and lessons learned with each other during the two-week AT.

Really hope to return for these next week, weather depending. Great thanks must go to 'LowdhamGPR' for giving for me advice on these workings!
My advice to a future engineer is to dive deeply into your values. Figure out what they are and then find a place to work that aligns with those values. If you don’t align, there is plenty of time for you to go out and find your place in the world. You have a uniqueness and it is important that you find the place where that uniqueness is welcome and can thrive. If that isn’t happening, then I would suggest you search for that place. It may not exist, and you may need to build what you want most. If so, please build that. Our world will be better for it.
Your career is up to you. It is up to you to advocate for what you want, for the development opportunities, for the training, for the projects you want to work on. You need to make sure you are clear with your work about what you want and need out of them.

The VW Beetle is said to be developed by Ferdinand Porsche.
In fact it was conceived and developed by the jewish engineer Joseph Ganz. He was the one who promoted the ideas for a people's car (volkswagen), that was streamligned, low weight, having an aircooled motor at the back and independent suspension.
He developed not only the concept but even some prototypes.
The Rumpler Tropfenwagen from 1921, and modern Tatra technology were a basic inspiration. Prototypes were built by Standard, Zündapp, NSU, Tatra, Daimler-Benz, Bungartz, Ardie, and Steyr. Ganz built his own prototype for Adler with the name 'Maikäfer' , which means 'beetle'.
Most prototypes led to some series production, and the influence on car design was tremendous, considering the amount of Ganz derivates on the Berlin IAMA motorcar show in 1934.
The concepts and inventions were stolen from Ganz by some criminals, and Tatra tried to claim the beetle-concept. In the meantime Adolf Hitler himself agreed to Ferdinand Porsche's proposal to redevelop Ganz's beetle concept. The development of a military version for the upcoming worldwar was included in this agreement.
At the same time Joseph Ganz got a 'Berufsverbot' because he was a jew.
In fact Porsche did a redevelopment of Ganz's ideas in favor of the traditional car-industry, that had always seen the Ganz-types as a commercial and technological threat, and was now keen to bring them now in maasproductions on the wings of nazi-expansion..
The first prototypes had, based on Ganz's concepts, a motor between the rear wheels and had a perfect stability. The Tatra and Standard prototypes were also true to this concept.
It was Porsche who placed the motor far behind the rear wheels, creating more space for a back seat on the same chassis, but also created the infamous instability of the Beetle.
Ferdinand Porsche was a nazi collaborator who could put aside the jew Joseph Ganz. Both survived the war, and for Joseph Ganz, the holocaust. Joseph Ganz is now almost forgotten. Ferdinand Porsche, the jerk, got famous.
Louwman Museum showed the importance and influences of Joseph Ganz and gave him back his important status in motorcar history. Paul Schilperoort wrote a tremendous book about the true story of the origins of the VW Beetle.

Remembrance Sunday, 8 November 2015
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by Queen Elizabeth II, principal members of the Royal Family normally including the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of York, the Princess Royal, the Earl of Wessex and the Duke of Kent, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
The parade consists mainly of an extensive march past by veterans, with military bands playing music following the list of the Traditional Music of Remembrance.
Other members of the British Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:
Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne
Heart of Oak by William Boyce
The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore
Men of Harlech
The Skye Boat Song
Isle of Beauty by Thomas Haynes Bayly
David of the White Rock
Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson
Flowers of the Forest
Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar
Dido's lament by Henry Purcell
O Valiant Hearts by Charles Harris
Solemn Melody by Walford Davies
Last Post – a bugle call
Beethoven's Funeral March No. 1, by Johann Heinrich Walch
O God, Our Help in Ages Past – words by Isaac Watts, music by William Croft
Reveille – a bugle call
God Save The Queen
Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.
The following is complied from press reports on 8 November 2015:
"The nation paid silent respect to the country's war dead today in a Remembrance Sunday service. Leading the nation in remembrance, as ever, was the Queen, who first laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in 1945 and has done so every year since, except on the four occasions when she was overseas.
Dressed in her customary all-black ensemble with a clutch of scarlet poppies pinned against her left shoulder, she stepped forward following the end of the two-minute silence marked by the sounding of Last Post by 10 Royal Marine buglers.
The Queen laid her wreath at the foot of the Sir Edwin Lutyens Portland stone monument to the Glorious Dead, then stood with her head momentarily bowed.
She was joined by King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, who was invited to the Cenotaph for the first time to lay a wreath marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands by British troops.
Watched by his wife Queen Maxima, who stood next to the Duchess of Cambridge in the Royal Box, the King laid a wreath marked with the simple message, 'In remembrance of the British men and women who gave their lives for our future.'
Wreaths were then laid by members of the Royal Family, all wearing military uniform: Prince Philip; then Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Prince William at the same time ; then Prince Edward, Princess Anne and the Duke of Kent at the same time.
Three members of the Royal Family laying wreaths at the same time was an innovation in 2015 designed to slightly reduce the amount of time of the ceremony and thereby reduce the time that the Queen had to be standing.
Prince Charles attended a remembrance service in New Zealand.
The Prime Minister then laid a wreath. The Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, appeared at the Cenotaph for the first time. He wore both a suit and a red poppy for the occasion.
His bow as he laid a wreath marked with the words 'let us resolve to create a world of peace' was imperceptible – and not enough for some critics. Yet unlike the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Battle service earlier this year, Mr Corbyn did join in with the singing of the national anthem.
Following the end of the official service at the Cenotaph, a mammoth column more than 10,000-strong (some 9,000 of whom were veterans) began marching along Whitehall, saluting the Cenotaph as they passed, Parliament Street, Great George Street, Horse Guards Road and back to Horse Guard Parade. The Duke of Cambridge took the salute from the column on Horse Guards Parade.
Time takes its inevitable toll on even the most stoic among us, and this year only a dozen World War Two veterans marched with the Spirit of Normandy Trust, a year after the Normandy Veterans' Association disbanded.
Within their ranks was 95-year-old former Sapper Don Sheppard of the Royal Engineers. Sheppard was of the eldest on parade and was pushed in his wheelchair by his 19-year-old grandson, Sam who, in between studying at Queen Mary University, volunteers with the Normandy veterans.
'It is because of my admiration for them,' he says. 'I see them as role models and just have the utmost respect for what they did.'
While some had blankets covering their legs against the grey November day, other veterans of more recent wars had only stumps to show for their service to this country during 13 long years of war in Afghanistan.
As well as that terrible toll of personal sacrifice, the collective losses – and triumphs - of some of the country’s most historic regiments were also honoured yesterday.
The Gurkha Brigade Association - marking 200 years of service in the British Army – marched to warm ripples of applause. The King’s Royal Hussars, represented yesterday by 126 veterans, this year also celebrate 300 years since the regiment was raised.
They were led by General Sir Richard Shirreff, former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of Nato and Colonel of the regiment who himself was marching for the first time.
'We are joined by a golden thread to all those generations who have gone before us,” he said. “We are who we are, because of those that have gone before us.' "
