Words can't describe the feeling of having a thunderstorm raging just over the mountains while you are hiking, with thunder rolling through the valleys. It was simply awe inspiring. Quick upload from Lightroom mobile (ie may be replaced when I get home).

This abandoned electronics hut was for the old IC (now CN) and CB&Q (now Illinois Railway) Buckbee diamond at CN milepost 85.6 west on the Freeport Subdivision. The diamond has been replaced by a pair of switches at what is now the East Rockford interlocking and control point. In the distant past the old diamond was controlled by a manned interlocking tower at this location. The 436 Buckbee lettering on the eave of the building appears to be a reference to the street address of the building which is at 436 Buckbee Street..
A photo by Bob Oloffson. The tower went through a few paint schemes. In the late 1800's it was a barn red color up to the 1950's when it was painted all white. Some time in the 1970's up to 1980 it was painted with green trim.

One of my rewards on my hike today was watching these two young bulls spar. It wasn't like a real fight, they would munch on grass side by side, then hook up rather carefully, their horns clacking together with the sound of hard wood. The intensity though always shows in their eyes. The one on the right has an open wound on his forehead about the size of the palm of my hand, but he seemed eager for more always. When I first met Scarface, he came right up behind me and just to the side. One of the exciting moments of the hike. Then there was the cow and calf that had bedded down between me and my pack while I photographed the bulls. Another bit of excitement as I almost stepped into their nest.
3.6 miles of varied terrain, from easy to difficult, a moving average of only 2.0mph including some stalking over the course of 1 hr 45 minutes. Packing about 25 pounds of gear. Total ascent 684 feet. Frozen ground in the shade, thawing in the sun. There were the low willows to displace my feet at every step, the tall grass to wade through, and the alder passages, the 2 inch thick, spring loaded stalks that grow helter skelter forcing us mere humans to contort, bend and weave through expending great energy. These alder patches I mostly avoid except to take short cuts. A wonderful day to be out and about here in Alaska.
BE Tower in Berea, Ohio, closed before Conrail was split between CSX and Norfolk Southern although the tower building itself still stands. Shown is a portion of the tower's interlocking machine, which is now in the collection of Marion Union Station in Marion, Ohio.
One of my old models, now interlocked. This is the most closely packed form of this cube and no more cubes can be added. I wished I could make a sturdy long structure.
Test materials in the offices of Paul McAneary Architects.
This project is the result of recession economics – as young architects, survival required creative thinking beyond the drawing board – applying business to architecture – by looking at every angle, this project was conceived. PMA had outgrown its first office but were forced out due to the landlord raising the rent by 50 per cent. Paul negotiated a substantial rent free period with a new landlord in lieu of substantial transformation of his dilapidated listed warehouse building. Economically, traditional procurement would not have been feasible for PMA. The creative solution, from both design and economic perspectives was for this young architects practice to setup a design and build company – which has since went on to build 2 further small projects. On top of this the procurement of construction materials was a further economic issue. As architects we wanted the highest spec for our office but were economically challenged. Recycling was employed on a massive scale. Off cuts of reconstituted stone became the kitchen and bathroom tops. The 3.2m high glass facade of the office was even recycled from another project – making the project feasible. It has to be said that over the 2 years we have spent slowly building the office – we have probably learned more from our experiments than through any previous education by experimental building our own office. Two days after the completion of our new basement we suffered a massive flood from the building above us. The office was 200mm deep in water – we lost much research – but this was actually an opportunity for us to redesign some of the destroyed built details that we had thought of better solutions since completion – the greatest test of all. Indeed the experiments have become very important to us as a practice and they continue – as we have built, what we call our 'laboratory' – a workshop in our new basement where we constantly run tests, make mockups and explore detail before construction as well as make architectural models. A sky light has been introduced into the ground floor ceiling to the rear of the office, bringing light to the full extent of the plan. It is placed above a design room, directly above a glass box down into the basement level laboratory. This connects all the levels of the project, and providing a second shaft for architectural models to be dramatically raised through. To make the basement level functional, it was imperative to increase the height of the room and bring natural light. PMA used a special fibre reinforced concrete floor, that could be cast as a tiny 70mm thick slab – that avoided underpinning costs. The open space is designed for exhibitions and presentations, with clean light walls and completely adaptable lightng – 4 light wells and a structural glass and structural metal mesh floor will bring the maximum amount of natural light possible down, whilst connecting the two areas of the office. The ground floor facade has been developed following secure by design consultations with the Police as the passageway outside the office suffered drug dealing, prostitution, and urination due to its location on a dark back alley in London's West End. The facade is made from solid oak beams that respect its neighbours, finished entirely flush, removing many nooks that facilitated crime and the glass being full height, gives a sense of overlooking that has reduced crime level significantly. The light natural coloured facade that has oak and unpainted render has not suffered typical graffiti (it would appear graffiti artists respect the integrity of natural elements). The results of the facade, that has been installed for a few months now, is that it has changed the atmosphere of this medieval narrow pedestrian passage way and countless passers have made the effort to come and tell us of their delight and how they feel safer whilst applauding the design.

www.greatmats.com/products/interlocking-carpet.php Interlocking and waterproof carpet tiles are excellent for trade show flooring or basements.
Anti-fatigue mats are also great for retail areas where employees need to stand for significant lengths of time. These foam mats are tough and look fantastic.

Interlocking Salt and Pepper Set. Sterling silver and nickel silver. 1982
This was my first piece from graduate school at Indiana University. In 1985, it was purchased from the Drawing and Small Sculpture show at Ball State University for the collection of the Ball State University Art Museum, now the David Owsley Museum of Art. I never got a good photograph of the underside, showing the key catch mechanism, and was unable to borrow it back until just recently. It only took 24 years.
An 8 car set of the new 5000 series cars on the Howard Red line pass through Howard interlocking and proceed to the loop track that will take them back South.
The rest of the weekend was spent putting in pavers that are whole (i.e. don't need cutting) into the 3 areas of the patio.
Also, completely tore out the lower patio and redid the pavers after adjusting the height of the HPB. Now the lower level is 7.5" lower than the rest, which is a good compromise.
Compare with the previous stage.
