I just had to take a photo of my Big Ben.

I can see Lois and I in the background.

My main clock is just slightly newer than that - and has a round dial.

My "backups" are all very old - have about 4 or 5 from the '30s. Only one still works, though, and I haven't had a chance to get some parts and fix them.

Love the old stuff. Older the better. I have an old 1/2" Black and Decker drill with 'D' handle. Body is hexagonal shaped. I found picture of it in old 1920 and 1921 B & D catalog. Gear reduction drive. Still works well with cord getting a little frayed. I guess I would be frayed if I were 90, too.

Oh, wait, I am frayed. And no where near 90 yet!!

Grrr, unmentionable cow farmer who didn't pull my baby out of a puddle, tire underwater, can't put air in it--no bus before WEDS and I'm steaming

As in TOMORROW!!!

I got fed up and told my tow truck driver to pull her out of the darn puddle and bring her home.

I just hope ye olde cow farmer got his irrigation pipe out of her--I don't need it here and he'd have to come get it.

Ok, after this, I will try hard to behave myself and not pull the thread off into the ether...

Upon further review, my clock isn't that much different. Maybe will need to start an old clock thread?
And Jones is still there! I just couldn't resist.

Wow! Bang! Here we go again. Not sure I have mentioned it but this home (trailer) is in a ragged-ass part of Oklahoma City - southeast corner - da' Hood. Nice little RV park surrounded by slums. Anyway, we occasionally get to go to sleep to the sound of gunfire in the distance. Last week a couple nights. And just a minute ago, it started up again. It's not drive-bys, it's idiots target practicing in their back yard.

I am! Congrats Lois! I'm just catching up on threads here and read yours. How exciting! Make sure you take some photos if you can to show us when she is delivered â™¥

Most of us here are visually stimulated, if we don't see some pics....we go crazy!

So even though we are interested, we don't get real excited until we see the photos of the pit stop in your yard. But don't park it on the flat spot...thats Bob's spot.

Chuck...You have a good memory! Although I do remember I get the only shady spot

Lois, thank you for thinking about my sun burn challenged body...you can tell a true red hair'd girl; they don't tan. Their skin just ends up matching their hair.

Thats how you can tell?...crap, I've been doing it wrong this whole time?

lol...well, I didn't say it was the "only" way

Your way would be the more fun way. Hmm, kind of like opening a present, huh, but you might be disappointed if it wasn't what you're expecting
