Today, I went to a yard sale that was quite interesting. The man was 70 if
he was a day, yet very sharp. I needed a pulley for my cement mixer, and he
had some, but not the one I needed.
"Wait, wait, I've got a drawer full back here." So we went back there to a
shop with at least a 75 square foot perfectly level Rockwell table saw and
all the goodies one can imagine an old cabinetmaker would have. He opened a
drawer, and selected a pulley that was right for the task. $2. Cast steel,
probably at least $20 in town 25 miles distant. So now my mixer is ready
for cement.
Out front, was a belt sander the likes of which I have never seen before.
It had been altered, and was six feet long. Mounted to a tabletop with a
fence so he could belt sand six foot lengths. Just amazing.
He had lots of other goodies, and I managed to spend $30, picking up some
actually modern usable tools, and a shifting spanner, and a Stillson wrench
in incredibly good shape with the pivotal pinned jaw.
It's nice to meet people like Cliff, and spend a little time.

Well, Your Accuracyship, the metal part was about three by four, but with
the white wings that surrounded it perfectly level, it was as large as a
very good sized bed. It could have easily held two full sheets of plywood.
Sorry I missed a nit there, Your Worship!

I remember Goddard doing the weather in Cleveland in 1960 before he
went to Philadelphia for a couple of years when Westinghouse bought
WTAM and changed the call letters to WKYC.
BTW, what is the wooly bear weather forecast for the winter?

Yeah, a month of 75-degree June Gloom beats half a year of ice, I bet.

Actually had a snowfall in the high desert a few years ago that
allowed the kids to make snow men, but usually "Snow Days" in SoCal
means you put on the chains, drive up into the mountains and go
skiing.
This past year, they were still skiing in June.
Fire is not something to screw around with here in the West.
Fire season has almost become a year around event.
