Good morning everyone, let's hope your weekend is going well and you have lots of time for fun things, like running some trains or building something for your layout. As for me, my modeling activities are in limbo, most everything is packed away in storage and my old layout is still in the local landfill, never to be seen again except in the photos that I took. I still use them as wallpaper on my computers, so it will never go away completely.
Weather-wise, the Arizona Republic newspaper's front page has a story about how our heat wave and monsoon season are finally gone, yet I see by the Weather Channel, that we are once again creeping up to well over the 110 mark and will be there by mid-week....
oh, and most everyone shows that there is rain in the forecast, they're just not in agreement as to how much and when... 
I wonder if a clock that has a quartz movement will ever be collectible. Unfortunately, we've never had antiques, including clocks, passed down to us from anyone, but we do have a unique wall clock made from old barn wood and has a cowboy-themed etched copper sketch behind the pendulum and an etched copper face. We also have several copper pictures made by the same artisan, all were made around 30 years ago. I know they have value, but will they ever be considered "collectible" because of their use of modern techniques? I'm sure if the clock had a wind-up movement, there would be no question as to it being collectible.
