Congrats Dan. I started mine a few years back (advertising typograpghy) only going in 4 days a week, took Friday off. Then I went to a 3 day. Tues, Wed, Thurs. Last year I had decided that in Dec I would only go in to fill in. When Civid hit The Bay terminated their advertising contract with us and the business closed. I had lots of connections and they came calling for advice or special project here and there. Unexpected I ran into to a Canadian type designer who has moved to NS from TO, we hit it off right away, had a lot of common friends and lots of typography experience, he was spearheading a website to preserve Canadian Typography history. I have quite a collection of the ‘old stuff’ before computers, he was shocked I had kept this stuff . We know skype once a week, write articles and do things building this site. Nothing was further in my mind but it has kept me going and enjoying rediscovering what I had done and how much I can leave to the generations to come. I was a teacher in my workplaces. Good luck on your future endeavours. My guy was also in the same boat as you and he sent his clients to his mechanic friend and gave us their number but he would be going in to chat and offer advice.

Another new additon to my cooking/smoking
ketchenany replied to misfish's topic in Non-Outdoors Open Discussion
i have less wires on two 27-inch Macs! Lol. All you need now is one of those things that goes beep beep like the hospital beds have! !! Just kidding. So I bought a meat thermometer for my BBQ, I stick it in and while holding it my hand burns!!! BUT it works. Wrist is rare! One year we BBQed lamb for New Year's day in front of the garage, charcoal . . . We kept tasting to make sure it was cooked! Almost didn’t make it in the house! And yes wine was involved! -
Another new additon to my cooking/smoking

You are the smoker dude! just saw the news and a few propane tanks went up in smoke. -
It worked, the valves are out of the rim and tires fully inflated after a week. Lots of good suggestions, the hammer one is ok but it could bend things.
-
If the tree had fallen on its own (act of god) yes, but the cowboy did it, no! Happened to is many years ago lost a garage, FINNALY his insurance paid for it, they put it down as wind damage, dead tree. . .
-
Those babies aren’t coming off, I did manage to twist the tire until the valve popped out and now will inflate them. Probably the only way is a torch.

All solutions are welcome, I’ll start tomorrow with the lube thing over night soak, ‘rubber’ hammer. I have until the snow comes. This thing is 32 years old (Craftsman) start great and runs the same. Only used it once last year. But want to keep it looking good.

Smoke away my friend! So you went ‘big’ but going to drill a ‘small’ hole! I just purchased this for my BBQ, has the long cord that you may be able put the wire in the door and still close it. -

Cliff, got nothing from both shots. I have had a flue shot for the last 30+ years and they NEVER said what brand it is. NOW we have this idea that one is better than the other. Which is probably the reason why some people are not getting it. Yes some people do get reactions and some have lost their lives. The lives saves outnumber those situations. Hopefully clinical studies show that we only have to get it done once. Our leaders should prepare and learn that this may not be the last. canada should build our own facilities to manufacture PPEs and vaccines and not depend on other suppliers. Like saving for a rainy day which always comes. keep well.

Irish had all of those, and the wife for back up just in case . BTW people collect “tubes’ I have about 5 or 6, never used in package.. And if you have the drugstore tester consul model you have small fortune. collect my friends, I collect anything coins, cameras and type stuff. Lots of advertising I built in the 80s . . . Keeps the grands interested on what I did with my life. I look back at history in my office. Here is one the grands love on our walk. just like Lew I like getting out with nature close by

I never attended but I did donate prizes to the cause. Lew was so impressed with ice fishing he never did it again.

And you are the KING of helping.

JD, I was forced to leave work because of the virus, company declared bankruptcy. After almost 50 years in the advertising industry, I was at home! Made the best of it, no more driving to work . . . built a home office, my passion with typography connected with my old friends and got some leads, not that I needed them, but after all of those years I wanted to keep my feet in. My feet are in, nothing to write home about, but it still lights up my email with prospects. I have devoted my knowledge on the past, I’m working on a website to preserve Canadian Typography History. To me now, this is my goal, and it will happen soon. To all of us who have had long careers, we are fortunate and hopefully our young ones, will follow us. Lew, Irish, Cliff and many others that I have contacted, you know what i mean. keep well my friends. Lets pass it on. Our kids need our guidance. A

You can’t miss it. pm me the photos if you get any. Happy shopping Albert
