Good you have these things, particularly the clock. I have my great grandmother's skeleton clock. Sat on my grandfather's side board then my father's. Been in the family since 1870s and will next got to my daughter. I had it serviced and the dial silverd again. Keeps time to within a minute or so a week.

This is an 8-day clock that craps out on day 5. I never cared much if it ran all week. I think it belonged to his (my grandfather) grandmother. My son lives in a bigger city and has a better chance of finding a clock technician who could get it sorted.

A sound 7 hours and then up. Once awake I can not go back to sleep. I am going to bake apple crisp and some breakfast cookies. Then I am going to the cemetery to pay respects to my late wife and make sure the grounds sre in good shape.

That's wonderful B2. Please let her know that we will be praying for you and her. And thank her for sharing you with us.

Well hun time for coffee and breakfast. Remember you will always have everyone of us with you. Maybe not in person but in thoughts and prayers always.

People who know this stuff are thin on the ground. I used a very famous one here in the UK. Had to wait though

One always has to wait.


I have looked at getting a M1 rifle built for shooting matches. Then I found one for sale. The price isn't much different, but the huge difference is - waiting. There's no wait on the old rifle.

I know what you mean. I use a gunsmith outside Glasgow for all my stuff. He is a fantastic craftsman but inevitably is busy.

This is my clock. A cabinet maker friend of my father made the case after the old dome got bust decades ago.

You know…in NZ…they think YOU have a sexy accent!

OK sports fans…you know what day it is? Yes, we covered the official meaning for us Yanks, but do you know what 2 Day is? Only the greatest day of RACING ever! Formula One in Monaco (the crown jewel of that circuit), Indy 500 in…Indy, and the whatever they’re calling the NASCAR race now n Charlotte.

So your Morning Zen will be a little different today…a picture of my Yacht parked at the race…can you see me?

Good morning! ️

And happy Memorial Day to my American friends

Any damage, RJ? I looks like it has passed by now.

Just wind & a lot of rain, phew!

Mine is a boring clock-in-a-box. There is a very old cat sleeping next to it ATM.

Love the rifle although they are not my thing. I will feed some pics of my sporting guns in over time as I don’t want to bore everyone senseless all at once! LoL

I see you, HDH! I'm soooo disappointed you didn't invite me this year!

I saw a Formula One race in Monza, Italy in the 70s. 🏎

Sorry dear, but I set sail a couple of weeks ago!. You’re invited for the race next year…mark your calendar! We’ll fit right in with the beautiful people!

I’m so jealous you saw a race in Monza!. How cool. I lived in the Old Country for five years and never was able to catch one. I would love to catch Monza, Red Bull Ring, Nurburg Ring (new), or Silverstone! We have three chances here in the US now, so that’s more likely than not.

Now, your Morning Z:
