There are still great wonderful values out there. Full size, working; even a useable ribbon and only $7.99… At a higher price I would have skipped this model; but now I  say it’s a quality machine.

1924 Remington Noiseless 5 Standard (The curved one with metal platen)
I could not resist this beauty. It was so nice looking I had fears… which turned out to be true… the frame had broken in the interior that prevented proper placement of the platen but after some effort I got some impressions… not to mention great joy and internal smiles!
Just typing…
Woke up this morning laughing… even if the dream was not that funny. So I decided to just fill the day in a mellow mood… setting a tone as they say.
Types on a torpedo…
Power went out… got out my manual typewriter and just typed some thoughts!
A “Hoover Hog” in my yard…
I was walking to my car and saw movement… it was small and ugly. It was a living armadillo…. I’ve only seen them laying flat and in the middle of a road.
I was just about to go and ride my bike… but I turned around and got my camera.
Mother’s day is everyday…
If mother’s day brings out our best… it should be extended to cover every day. We exist because of a mother…. and every day we breath and think is a day blessed because of what they gave to us and taught us… “love”
Stars in my eyes…
The good news/bad news… local news reports over 50 folks received IRS final notice calls in my area…
Better news, I went out side and watch the stars come out… in the low light nothing at first; then as the sky’s darken a spot appears… then another “stars”… free fun and wonder…
Bottom feeders… IRS phone scams!
I have spent most of the day contacting the IRS, FTC and Inspector General’s Office reporting on what I believe to be an attempt by someone claiming to be from the IRS to get me to pay money I do not owe.
If you receive a recording claiming “Final IRS notice” and you can get to a real person right away (red flag!!!)… I called various Government services and if it takes over an hour to get to a real person… then you are dealing with an actual government entity.
I also doubt the real IRS will hang-up on you when you ask for the correct spelling/contact number of the person you are talking to….
Double digit days…
Its the month of May… which is the month I move into bicycle rides that get longer and longer and over 200 for the month.
Views from a 1951 Sears Tower…
All kinds of words appear when you sit down to type…
