Well, with probate & bunch of other stuff it took til this December to get my greedy li'l mitts on it &, sure enuf, abou 5 days ago I ended up having an ischemic stroke. fvk. Now in rehab, good chance of a full recovery, but the irony of it all is simply precious

Any recommendations on a mini sewing machine?

 written () ago

I'm looking at buying one of those cheapish miniature sewing machines, living the nomadic lifestyle in a camper so no room for a full sized model, & looking for recommendations since there are a lot of them being sold on Amazon. Hand sewing is too damned tedious & looking to speed things up. Problem is, I have NO experience with anything but the full sized units & don't wanna be stuck with crap.

How can I post a picture in a message/post?

I live in Canada (camped on the mountain overlooking Osoyoos) &, lately, have been seeing many of my posts being deleted as spam or contravening Facebook 'rules': We removed your content

Alternative lubricants for a ZF manual gearbox?

 written () ago

First I'll give a little back-story about my experiences with an old VW van transaxle. Used to be, many moons ago when I was young, that I'd buy a beater VW van, fix it up, then sell it when I wanted something else. Often, the transaxle would have a pronounced whine & be hard to shift. I'd basically cure 'cure' that by adding by adding a can of Molyslip (molybdenum disulfide & engine oil) to the transaxle. This would often work in rear diffs & manual gearboxes that started to howl.

Oh yes, I want one of those treadle machines, too!

I was talking to a cobbler a number of years ago & he claimed that the old treadle style sewing machine was preferred in his trade because of the control it gave & it could easily punch through the thickest leather.

That's why I generally stay out in rural areas since, percentages being equivalent to the city, there just isn't as high a concentration of idiots per square mile.

Sorry about your mom.

.
It was a really sad affair all around. She suffered from early onset dementia & watching it progress was pretty traumatic for all involved. More so for my sisters & especially so for my youngest 1. I live hundreds of miles away, while they were local, though it was jarring every time I visited. It basically ended up killing my father cuz she was basically what he lived for & as she slipped away.. so did he.

Yeah; as an amateur artist I do know all too well how difficult it can be to get hands and fingers right.

Yes; garbage, garbage out. Exactly...and if it keeps re-consuming the same garbage it previously put out, it will be useless in ten years.

Traffic...well...most websites depend on traffic to survive, whether to sell ads or products. I do agree click bait and deceptive pages are a terrible curse, but I don't see AI making it better any time soon. Rather, I see the day when NOTHING on the internet can be trusted to be real. Worse, many of the other sources of information and news are beginning to rely more and more on AI...thus leading us into a world where the only genuine, real-life experiences are those that are unplugged and off-grid.

Sounds like what Youtube has become.

But yeah I was hearing voices in my head, for real. I mean I imagined people had microphones and speakers in my house and I was talking to the voices, and they talked back. I'm kinda sad it quit... it was fun always having someone to talk to and they were a smart ***ass just like me. Hmmmm

I don't overtly use it, though it seems to be 'embedded' to an increasing extent & thus utilized anyway.
