After my daughter was born I cut way back on time consuming hobbies to be a better dad.<br /><br />Cameron, If you think that's cool, check out some of these collectors machines online. The many multi colored machines are a revelation.Tom Furrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474840038948422845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-84181708966871166082011-01-31T00:31:10.273-08:002011-01-31T00:31:10.273-08:00That is one cool typewriter.

I only ask because I have an old Hamilton pocket watch (from my grandfather) that needs repair or maybe just a cleaning, either of which, I am not skilled enough to do.deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140131381076720375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-17072665373111798062011-01-30T14:37:31.041-08:002011-01-30T14:37:31.041-08:00Richard, I look forward to your comments.

If you read Matt's last blog entry you'll see he's taking care of a personal problem and should be back in a week or two. Everyone misses his enthusiasm.Tom Furrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474840038948422845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-90424131887619146292011-01-30T12:33:37.778-08:002011-01-30T12:33:37.778-08:00Tom, I look forward to your posts every week, so k...Tom, I look forward to your posts every week, so keep them coming. Our attitudes match pretty well, so maybe I'm reading so avidly in order to confirm myself. Watches, photography gear, bicycles, typewriters, pens... check, check, check, etc. Almost anything human-scale and not dependent on electricity ('cept maybe selenium light meters). Well, steam is OK, too. And that's funny because I like electricity; I think it's the idea of being tied down (batteries included) that I don't like. <br /><br />I wouldn't have made this comment so long, except that I notice similar overlapping interests in very many of the other commenters. Maybe the community is bigger and stronger than we realize.<br /><br />BTW, have you heard anything from our friend Matt? It's been 3 weeks now.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324098741441811269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-46287602965569371842011-01-30T10:58:07.572-08:002011-01-30T10:58:07.572-08:00As always, wonderful stories and insights.
