new addition

There will be a typecast tomorrow.  For now, I'm wondering about the year, given the model 5 and SN 810544 /5.
Thanks to my yard-saling friend for finding this and texting me.

friday bikecast with a guest

She did eventually decide to try it out.  she hit a couple of y's and then typed her name.  She told us she will be 7 in October and will get a bigger bike.  She was a very chatty kid and quite cute keeping us company.

friday bikecast

salmon are running

what the heck is this thing?

catching up

Switched to the QDL at the end there. Ribbon advance (spool fit) issue.

fragments from a busy weekend

at the banquet, one of the visiting pro players from Japan played the Shamisen

correction:  2003 was my last rated play.

 This game was passed along the tables, everyone alternating B & W moves.  Somehow it missed our row

My last game, I played white, giving 2 stones.

From Bulgaria in metal

pretty nice case

that blob to the right is a magnet holding on that nameplate until I can get the right kind of glue.

I remembered Robert's excellent treatment of the Bulgarian lines, and this is definitely a rebadged Maritsa (which I mistyped above).  Looks like a match for the Maritsa 11.  I gave away my 1300F, so I didn't have those spools to raid for this.  Time to go through the box upstairs.

Quiet is relative

On my way home (to return later), I stopped by my main Goodwill and at the bins. The bins were a bust, but the main goodwill had a space saver Model M from 1987.  I intend to sell it, as I like the number pad that it lacks.

obviously the space saver is the upper one...

It had no cable, but my other one fit it.  Should I sell it without, telling the buyer to find a cord online?  Or should I find one myself and increase the reserve?  I've never sold on ebay so I'll take advice.
