Wow… I’m riding my bike to stay fit. I’m typing on my typewriter to have fun. Who would have thought I would have picked up so many good habits…
Picking up some good habits…

Old movies and bicycle benifits
Moving forward… and up toward mellow.
No time to be sad or blue or mad. One small step toward mellow makes a better day than sitting in the mud of despair. So… once more we push the boulder toward happiness and if it falls we will push again tomorrow.
Another day with the Super G
Day two… was okay.
Ode to an old underwood…
On a Woodstock… this day I typed….
The most amazing thing about this Woodstock is that it keeps working… over a year now and it still responds when I thought it would only last a few rounds of typing and then would just stop. In some ways its an inspiration.
The Underwood should be enough…
When you have one great typewriter…. why get another. I hate to say it but I cheat on my Underwood.
K2 day 2.
Second day… and this Everest is starting to climb in my appreciation. With time our approach seems to lead to a summit of joy. With each passing day… we are acclimating together to become use to climate and its a go. All good and well on this K2. GEE
Remie Scout… best toy ever!
It’s small, well made, fun… cheap… durable… 80 years old… does it thing still… makes it about the best toy I’ve ever had.
Typewriter adaption…
I find that I enjoy having to re-think…. adapt and process differently just to create a decent looking page of print on a given typewriter. If each machine were refurbished or brought up to standard then I would not be having this much fun. I like having to make the mental adjustments more than fixing the mechanical parts that would make each machine work as designed. I replaced parts on this 1923 Underwood and it worked better over all but the feel of the machine changed. Where before I felt that if I could just get the mechanical part to function then I can write books on this thing… the well the keys moved and functioned just felt wonderful. The adjustments changed the action and feel and movement of the machine… it is a much better and functional typewriter…. but my fingers find less joy when using it. A “Catch 22″…
