The July issue of MRH and Running Extra are on track for an almost-on-time release.

MRH should be going out for final text-only staff review by the morning of the 14th.

Ad placement should begin later that day, and MRH should show up very late on the 15th or on the wee hours of the 16th.

Running Extra will be about two days behind MRH this time, likely showing up the evening of Saturday, July 17th.

I will keep you posted because things do come up, including an unexpected family emergency that takes time away from the office.

Since the very beginning, I've kept every issue of MRH on my network drive for easy reference from any device the house.  I upgraded to a NAS (Network Attached Storage) this weekend and was migrating everything over from the network drive when I discovered that all the folders exist for each MRH edition, however, the folders were empty.  Every. Single. One.  I don't know how this happened as I've referenced different issues regularly over the years.  I just read June's issue a couple weeks ago, but its gone, too.

MRH:

The June MRH is done now and ads are being placed, then the media and comment pages are being generated, and all links tested. We're running about two days behind at this point, so the June issue should be out later this week.

We’ve all seen it ... “the hobby magazines don’t cover enough small layouts.”

Well, if we’re to be on the lookout for these smaller layouts, how would you define small? Doesn't it make sense that if we’re supposed to be covering this size of layout, we know what we’re after?

My one request is that you keep the definition broad enough we have a fighting chance. Make the definition too narrow and we’re sunk before we start.

My one sense is that it’s not so much “small” per se but more what I would call “achievable” layouts. If that’s so, then what’s an achievable layout, then?
