Old TV shows… and older typewriters

Was watching a 52 year old tv show while typing on a 98 year old typewriter… and thinking about how old I was when the cars on the street I lived on all looked liked the ones in that show.

A character type…

Who we are when no one watches… or when the rubber meets the road defines character.

A type a day… makes my day complete.

The Smith Premier 10 is fun… you just type the size that matches the top of the key. No shifting needed.

Small adjustments… big gains

I raised the height on the Demountable 1/2 inch (by adjusting the feet) and for the 1st time I used the spacebar on a entire page without issue.

Some days… take longer than others…

I typed a line… then three days later I finished.  The 106 year old LC Smith waited… without complaint.    A computer would have been asking to update something after 3 days…

Typewriters… calm the soul.

As I type on this 1927 Smith Premier 30 the world seems nicer and my mood improves.  Even as it stalls and stops… I relax and smile.  I’ve got my typewriter fix and I feel good.

Different route… new views…

I took a different bicycle route today… saw some horses, cows and land where stuff grows.

Getting down to the wire…

This time next week… I will be in Iowa ready to roll.  I tried out the camera I plan to use today as well.

Taking time to enjoy the day…

I started the morning taking pictures of flowers… then in my rush I deleted them.  I end the day taking pictures of flowers and I am reminded why it good to just take your time and relax.
