A good day yesterday. The keyboard is back together but doesnt work. The light for the wireless connection comes on but none of the keys work. I'll have to check the connections today. While reassembling it I could see a factory in China, where it was made, assembling all the tiny parts all day. It doesn't sound like a fun job.
The clock is ticking again but still running fast. I may have to cheat and lengthen the pendulum rod a bit. I used to take the works apart clean and re-oil them but I don't want it to quit permanently.
The Winchester is shaped as good as I can get it and a small shim under the front of the barrel will get it pointing horizontally. I may even bend some paperclips to make a lever and trigger guard. I think I'm going overboard for a rifle that will never be aimed at a bunny or deer.
I'll have all afternoon to play with the tiny parts as the Queen is on evening shift and the granddaughter and her 2 little ones won't be home until 3.
The youngest daughter sent me a recipe for brownies. I'll have to get the Queen to take me shopping to pick up some ingredients I don't have and add brownies to the bakery menu.
I hear the Queen stirring just about time to go for the morning coffee and chat.

Not much happening here otherwise today. Going to make it a quiet day for me, perhaps read a few more chapters of the new book I started last night. TV has been so bad lately with only a few movies worth watching and as far as regular programming, with all the reality crap, there sure is nothing on there to watch. Saves on hydro...LOL
Anyway have a great day, stay warm and stay well.
Oh, those paperclips. I can't remember where it was - maybe here in Houston? - but there was a dentist who used paperclips for dental implant posts. They got him when people started showing up with infections. I guess it probably increased his profit margin, until he had to start paying all those lawyers to keep him out of the slammer. I really don't know what happened with the case - but just be warned and don't be trying really creative things with those paperclips!
Well, at least it was a thought, lol!
Stay warm!
