any thoughts on the "patrick" here. looks familiar... buuuut i think i must have it at home cause i don't have it here at work...

Alissa, you should open a new thread for a new ID question.

PATRICK looks like Phenix American, but I think it's closer to Mekanik with some added stem crossing lines. See them both in the 2 pages of the Oblong fonts in the Bauhaus-style Font ID Guide.

Tiff, I think Industria would need more modification than Mekanik. Look at the K, for example, and also the leg on the R. The C is more open in Industria too.

See Mekanik

Compare with Industria

thanks guys! my insanity for today is definitely
on the decline.

from that link you sent me, Mike, i saw aldous looked like a pretty good match??? if made bold... hmmmm well their desire to match these old designs is beyond me... thanks you two
