A Day Out


I met a friend at "Aunt Sues," and the musical entertainment on the porch was this talented fellow.


Then we went up the road to some vineyards - these are new vines they are starting on a hillside - ahhhhh


A staircase in the winery - down, down to a banquet room, where on select Friday evenings they serve five course meals (with a different wine for each course of course) for $72 a head -- A-hem................

Guess the Baby Food



We had a tasting/guessing game at a baby shower at church. No one got all 6 correct!

Transformers, More than Meets The Eye


This transformer is 1/2 inch wide. The 42 gauge wire (to the right) is like hair. My husband makes these - by hand. Of course a precision high speed winder turns that fine wire 266 times around the bobbin. Electronic testing equipment will let us know if it is even one turn off.



This is a Completed transformer, with the core stacked, and the leads (22 gauge gold plated copper) bent just so. The unit is soaked in epoxy in a vacuum chamber.
