I have a grandmother clock from Germany my parents gave me. I haven't had it hung for years. I know it must need some work. Maybe another project?

I can give you Junior's mailing/shipping address and he can get it fixed for you. I think he told me that there are a couple of old Cuban watchmakers in his town.

We did the Alaska cruise. It is SO worth it! If you do it make sure you get a cabin on the port side with a balcony. The ships (at the time) cruised Glacier Bay clockwise. My husband woke me with breakfast and we watched the glacier calving from the balcony.

I also want to go to Antarctica. It's the reason I started training. I have read there are smaller research vessels that take passengers. They can choose to participate or not in the research. Smaller vessels can land passengers while the large cruise ships cannot. I've been trying to talk my niece, a marine biologist, to go with me. So far, not having any luck. I'd like to go before I get too old.

I don't need to land. I need to experience the place, breathe the air, that sort of thing.


And what is this "too old" shit of which you speak???
 
Our trip has gone off course a bit - which is the way I like it. The original idea was to to follow US Route 6 across Pennsylvania. Turns out Route 6 is actually a pretty busy road so we’ve been using finding these little roads that basically go parallel. But there’s no such thing as parallel bcz of all of the mountains. It’s been great.

We got to our destination last night by meandering our way thru mountain passes, farm fields, and tiny little towns.

We did find Route 6 in Towanda NY (which we renamed LaFawnda - from Napoleon Dynamite) And found this super throwback diner. So cute. Had a great lunch (and a milkshake) and chatted with locals.

Then we got back on the back roads and meandered to the Grand Canyon of PA which is much larger than I thought it would be. Lots of good hiking. We got out 10k steps in yesterday for sure!

Can’t really see it but the trees are really starting to change.

Today we’re exploring the Grand Canyon some more, then driving about 100 miles west to do some more hiking.

And yeah- I’m going to the PA Lumber museum. 😂 I’ve got wood.
 
Awake at the scrotel. I used to say Scrotel13 previously/formerly. No matter. It's okay. Doesn't cost any more. They have a breakfast bar, most of which is crap. The yogurt and bagels are okay. Lousy cream cheese but edible. And the coffee is okay, too. Hey, as long as the car doesn't get broken in to, we'll be adequate.

I went to Kane (kinda south/southeast of Erie) back a couple/three years ago to pick up a free (yes, free, my favorite price) rust bucket anvil because it has Teh Big Motuh in it. It was the last day of September when I went and the scenery was magnificent. No time to visit anything because I was on a mission, so the mountains and the changing colors more than made up for that. It's a damned fine piece of dirt we have for a nation.

Yes! Thank you L2!😘.

I’ve decided to get one of these oils and do a deep dive on how to tear down the clock and do a total deep cleaning. Been studying up on vids off the Oracle of all Knowledge today. Pivot holes and new bushings for them may be in order.

The clock is between 30-50 yrs old. I inherited it from an Aunt and I seem to remember it in their house in VA when I was a kid. I know when they moved back down south it was in every house they had…my eccentric aunt would insist on moving every 3-5 yrs.

I’m going to remove the face plate as MissK’s article talks about both side of the movement need to be oiled. If I’m going to do this, may as well do it right!

Man - I wish I had time for projects like this. 😂

I have posted on this forum before how SWMBO tried to kill my clock! I’ll have to post that story at a later date…in case all this really does kill my clock! 😂

You have to also hope she doesn’t clean your clock! 😂

My mentor in aviation maintenance built two Grandfather Clocks. He ordered the clock mechanisms from Germany, but built the cabinets from various different exotic woods, with beautiful scarf splices, etc... in excess of 240 pieces of wood in each. That man could do ANYTHING with his hands.

Sounds like he was quite a person!!

Glad he made a great mentor for you.

Made supper tonight. It’s a quickie I pulled off some internet site. Claimed to Mexican but more a mishmash of Cuban/Caribbean. So I adjusted. 😉

- 1 lb ground Turkey
-1 poblano (i have used that but opt for Anaheim or Jalapeño)
-15 oz can black beans ( don’t use this). if you want authentic Mex, use Pinto…if however yer from S FLa…use the black!
-8oz can of tomato sauce
-1/2 cup O salsa…I use a tad more
-1 Tsp of chili powder
-1/2Tsp ground Cumin
-the recipe calls for taco shells but I just use tortilla chips
-1/4 cup green onions
-1 cup shredded Mex/mix cheese.
-shredded lettuce
-fresh tomato’s.
——My Changes——

no self respecting Mexican recipe leaves out onion and avocado. I use about 1/3 Vidalia give or take, add in a 10-15 oz can of fire roasted tomatoes, some cilantro, and sweet red pepper

——brown turkey on med/high with peppers and sweet onion
——when brown add in beans/salsa/tomato sauce/spices/red pepper/mix then reduce to med/low or slow simmer…cover for 5 mins…I go 10 just because…
——add in your shells/chips/green onions/cilantro/cheese…

——MY SECOND CHANGE——

SWMBO, doesn’t like to add shells and or chips or cheese at this point…so I place chips on plate, spoon mixture on top, cover with the cheese another small layer of chips and fresh avocado slices on the side. Oh…you can add lettuce but I forgot it tonight….

Did no one ever tell you the WI State Sport is drinking?
Why else would they have 2 bars on every city block? 🍻

I think it has the highest alcoholism rate in the country.

I had to back out of our boys weekend in WI this year. My liver is already thanking me. I may go up for snow mobiling this winter.
