August 2013 – Type OH! The manual typewriter experience…

On Safari… more time on it… better it gets!

1963 Royal Safari.... an amazing journey. — 1963 Royal Safari…. an amazing journey.

I take a Royal Safari for $1.79

I thought for sure that my max bid of $5.00 would be beaten.

1963 Royal Safari worth ever cent I paid.

A giving mood…

I recall “Labor Day” and staying up to all hours to watch Jerry Lewis and the MDA fund raiser… they have gone seperate ways. The show is down to 3 hours (I miss the longer version). Still it good that I have linked this time of year to giving and supporting of others.

I lift a woodstock… it lifts my spirits…

There are moments when I go for a portable instead of my standard typewriters. Then I force myself to lift that load… and it’s always a good time and a good thing when I do.

Its alive… my Frankenbike.

I must have become a bicycle geek at some point. 15 years ago… my bike was matched. Tires/colors/compoents/ etc. Now it is a mixture of things (all quality I hope). But then I looked at the picture and doubt if most would notice or care. Yesterday it seem such a big deal all the different parts… finding a new front fender… they sell them in pairs and to get matching yellow more than I want to spend and I want to keep the yellow… so what goes with yellow but would cost less… leaving me with a spare rear… wow… its just about the ride anyway. Or should be.
