Crankin' It Up: A Pity To Waste It and March From The Fortune Teller

Today we wind up the seven inch discs we have been sharing.  A Pity To Waste It sounds a bit too fast at 78 RPM, and I may work with that one and see if the sound quality improves.  The March sounds about right, and is pretty good for being more than a century old.

Hudson, 1954 Hornet...

...The things I see when I am out in the timber.... It's why I always carry a camera.

One Show Ends, And Another Begins

 The basswood is just about done blooming, and the heavenly fragrance is gone.  The honeybees just about carried it off this year, but now they are moving on to other flowers.  Bumblebees and other insects are still feeding on the last nectar and pollen.

The day lilies are blooming now, and this show will last for a while.  This view is constantly changing, with each flower lasting only one day.  You have to carry a camera every time you go for a garden walk.

What To Post?

So many photos, so many video segments, so many thoughts.  Sometimes I feel like a..

There aren't enough hours in the day.  Lots of projects are kicking around in my head, but work and lawnmowing interfere.  We have more chainsaw vids and photos, lots of engine photos, and important historical things on our minds.  TBS doesn't have the time or inclination to be wordy, but we do enjoy posting for our small band of readers.  I went to the Brunswick tonight, and before I had the camera on the tripod, before I turned on the lights, Brat was on the phonograph purring.  Fans make it all worthwhile.

Ruger's Auction To Benefite The Light Foundation

Ruger's offering this week is very popular, and I can't even get a bid in edgewise.  If you are really determined to have this rare .32 H & R Magnum Single-Six Bisley revolver, take a deep breath and check your bank balance before you bid.  Skeeter Skelton had kind words for the .32 H & R Mag when it was introduced, but popularity never took off the way it should have.  You can't buy a new one like this today, so if you want one, Click Over to Ruger's GunBroker page and knuckle down.  100% of the proceeds from this auction will go to benefit the Light Foundation.
