This weekend I am continuing the demolition of the master bathroom. I finished ripping out the sheet rock from the closet. I finished up day two by clearing out the shower door and the tile on the shower entry. I was not surprised to find the first signs of dry rot on the wood near the floor. Pictures and video of the work are below.
Exposed wall in master bathroom closet. These electrical circuits are in the powder room. I will make them hot by connecting them to the new fuse I installed.

Massive header in the closet door. Not supporting anything but the doorway. No roof support is on this wall. Not sure why this header is here. Maybe it was scrap and the carpenter decided to use it.
Shower rubber linker in the closet wall.

Texas was not deep enough in the south for me so I relocated to Albany, Georgia. I have been her almost a month and the adventure of living in a new city and working at a new institution are still fresh. This week week as I walked across the campus with my paper notebook in hand I was whistling as I passed through groups of students go to classes. I noticed how everyone of them was either talking on a mobile device or listening to music on them. I marveled at how odd I must seem to them as I walked without having any electronic device turned on and instead i was making the music with my lips. Albany Georgia is a lot like Portland, only smaller and really flat. Albany has the Flint River running through the middle of the downtown area and lots of pine and pecan trees all over.
I finally have a way to wear my hats again. My daughter Kalia Wormley gave me this really cool cap that she got at Disneyland. I was not able to wear it because my hair was too long and fluffy. I have started pulling it back into two Afro Puffs and now I can wear the cap. The cap has a cool design. It features Chernabog a character from the animated Disney Feature Fantasia . The demon Chernabog was used with the music Night on Bald Mountain which I like very much.
View Larger Map I was looking on YouTube at train video and I found this very nice video of the Tehachapi Loop. The Tehachapi Loop helps get trains into the central California valley from the Mojave desert. I have a link to a Google map of the loop so that you can see where it is located. this will give you an appreciation of the engineering of the railroad. I have driven through this area, but I have never taken the time to get off the highway to inspect the loop.
