We’re starting to prep the cab for paint inside and out, then the bed. We’re going to put the motor and tranny together and in the frame and run the exhaust and wiring and all the rest of it.
We may be burning rubber this coming summer. It’s going to be a work truck, none of that show stuff for us.

Poets: New issue of ” mgversion2.0>datura” online

wruhlmannHello dear ones

I am writing to let you know the new issue is on line. It is a very special one as you know – it is a tribute to one of our late friends and most talented poet and short story writer, Ludovic Kaspar. I haven’t translated his poems and stories but you are most welcome to come and have a look at this issue.

As you all know by know, the two sides have merged and the next issue mgv2_65 will gather both French and English speaking writers, poets and artists.

This forthcoming issue is scheduled for April, so it is from now on open for submissions: poems, stories, artwork…

Those of you who have already sent their work don’t have to worry – I’ll consider it as soon as possible and let you know when that is done.

Regards

Wednesday I was in the City and met a former resident of Half Moon Bay who knew Galen Wolf and his brothers very well. I am hoping to hear from her and I will share with you everything she tells me.

This sounds good

Did you know that Congressman Ron Paul stayed overnight at  our home in El Granada in the 1990s? Yes, in our guest bedroom! Nobody knew.

Tom Andersen Says Julie’s Cantina & Dance Hall Kits Ready to Ship

Hi Everybody,

We’ve been hard at it getting our new kit to market, first one is going to Paris France, ordered sight unseen, pre-paid, by a fellow who bought one of our adobe chapel kits. He said this kit will be the “masterpiece of my layout”.

Julie’s Cantina & Dance Hall is our newest kit, just released! Available in HO, S & O scales, it is our most realistic adobe kit yet! It features about 20% of the adobe surface eroded away to reveal the adobe bricks.

Construction involves a plywood substrate, then fracturing our Hydrocal casting of 400 square feet of adobe brick into shards, gluing the shards to the substrate, then finishing the rest of the wall surface to a grade above the adobe brick.

Also included are the outhouse (bano), Indian bread oven (horno) and an 18′ bar & bar stools.
