Just a dab of paint and it improves the looks and the value of the machine seems to grow and its use more joy.

$2.95 Remington Model 17 Standard: a machine of character.
For less than three bucks you expect issues… this Remington Rand Model 17 defines the word “Well used” but in its own way it is still a working typewriter.
Went for 30 decided to settle at 28… couldn’t… 31 miles in all.
I want to not feel bad if I can’t meet my goals. I’m just not there yet. I guess I just set my goals to low; since I can meet them if I try hard enough. Perhaps if I had unrealistic expectations then it would not matter if I reach them. One day I will be mature enough to look at things that way… just not there yet.
Another day in the sunshine of life…
Just out and about in the sun on a bike at a typewriter….
The third life of a Olympia Robust
Things change… repurposed with Polish keys… repainted … creating words that are nice.
I’ll call my Rooy “Mickey”.
I came across this about the time Mickey Rooney died… (hard to believe his estate was worth $18,000.00) so in sort of a tribute I call this typewriter Mickey. It’s small but don’t let that fool you it can do a lot.
1903 Underwood 4… pressing keys… random thoughts…
Just passing time on a One Hundred And Eleven year old typewriter… leaves one feeling mellow and at peace.
The miles add up and the easier they become (on a bicycle)!
Takes awhile for me to start enjoying my bike rides. Now that I’ve reached 250 miles for the year… I feel better and the rides are better as well.
Sometimes you forget the lyrics…
The theme from the movie “Mash” has lyrics… lyrics that are silly and sad. Love the melody but try having a conversation about its lyrics and not have it be weird.
