no can haz - not yours

First, I have been outbid on the Classic 12 Greek 1-bank, so you won't be reading about it here.  I hope whoever gets it posts to the yahoo groups what they find, with pics of they type basket.

note the snazzy cover I made out of construction paper.

I forgot Hamilton Sea Scout and, no doubt, am ignorant of many others.

Classic

Speaking of classics, Grandma's watch is on its way to get a new crystal.   The jewelers gushed over it and told me the bracelet was not original.  They showed me a classy black ribbony one that I think will look well.        It's still kept good time all week. The crown is not original either, so I wonder about the works inside (no I never opened it).

Swiss Pride

I don't suppose I've ever mentioned it before, but I was always told my grandmother was Swiss.  I never found out where her family was from.  So I'm entitled to some Swiss Pride of my own.



Post script news flash:  THIS just showed up on shopgoodwill!  I have a small bid in but would not mind seeing it go to a friend, so let me know if you're bidding.

more biking, shops and watches


I wound it up last night and kept pretty good time for half a day.  Tests are ongoing.
Budd Inlet

the tree is below

 In the shops:
An "Ediphone" dictating machine.

carriage didn't move, and see all the mold in the case lid?

Did not know Graybar made sewing machines.

Futura for about 30 bucks.  not one of my grails

I saw this image online.  It's an unusual and particularly fetching design.  How much would you pay?


bike & traincast

something going on with the ribbon, I must have a look at that.
before typing, parked my bike

Mariachi?  Sure, why not?  They were very good.
update: the watch is still keeping good time and seems to be self-winding properly
