60+ year old thread.

Back is feeling better tonight but it has hurt since mid day Sunday. I think the lower muscles just tightened up on me.

 

Feel better soon.

 

Morning All,, Up to go fishing..Have not got up a this Hr. in years..

 

Hope you catch dinner Jim, good luck.
Morning all. ..feels like the winter has finally arived..going to be cold all week. Stay warm..

 

Evening all!!

Where's the dinner invite, Jim????!!!!

Carl - wish we could find a good clock guy up here. We've got a grandfather clock that hasn't worked since we moved here 8 years ago. Called the one guy around here who fixes them and he said-don't bother me, I'll call you. Never heard from him again. We'd love to get it fixed.

Temp isdown to 9 and headed south. No complaints, though. This looks like the coldest week for this winter and then we start to climb back towards spring.

 

Still hurts a little.

Spent a few hours this morning fine tuning the picture on our larger TV using a Disney WOW disc. Very easy to use and the picture is great. I only tweaked it a little when all is said and done.

Did you get dinner for you and Mrs. River Rat?

 

Afternoon all:
Seems strange that there aren't more than one in that area, and that's another thing "GOOD". If you would see this guys shop you would fall over, but through my prior dealing with him I know that he can get the job done.
I would say the coo-coo is well over 100 yrs. old and of decent size, so I don't want anyone to mess it up.
I just hope he don't DROP IT! That would be bad!!!!!
Just ask around, I'm sure you can locate someone to fix it, but they are getting few and far between.
I was just told of a guy between Weatherly and Beaver Meadows on Rt.93 that fixes old clocks, but that's also a haul for you. I don't know anything about him except that he fixed a grandfathers clock for the gentleman that I talked to.

Fishing was a bust 3 small bass so we put them back.Sixty beans for gas and shiners to sit on the lake in 40 temps with the wind blowing..Got the chapped lips from 75 MPH in the bass boat.Jeff's boat but I always end up driving it best part of the day today for me..We could find them on the fish finder but the only thing feeding was the gar's...Jeff got a 4 footer was the hi light of the morning killed the thing and fed it to the turtles..Have to BUY some fish for the grill to make the Mrs. happy..Oh well

 

Ha! And I thought I was the only one!
As long as you had FUN!! Hope you didn't tell the wife that you caught the fish that were on the grill.

 

Gee, Jim, if you lived up here you could go ice fishing. Fun, huh?? I drove by the State Park lake next to our home and saw a guy out on the lake maybe 5 feet from an area that had been unfrozen the day before. Darwin at work.

Thanks for the contacts, Carl. I've tried to avoid hauling this thing somewhere...but if I'm going to get it fixed I guess I'd better have a different planthen I've been using.

Just a bit chilly here today. It was 2 last time I looked and still going down. It's going to be fun heading out to the spa this morning!!

 

And I bet it beats the best day you ever had working.

 

Morning all:
Mark: I'm not sure, (going back 56-60 yrs.) but I think when my grandmother had a bunch of grandfathers clocks; the guy that fixed them would take the movement out, take it to the shop, repair it, and reinstall it in the clock at the house. I don't think he took the whole clock. Maby on some that can't be done, but I'm sure the movement would have to be removed to work on at the shop. The case is only a housing, and I don't think it has anything to do with the actual workings of the clock.

 

First breeding of our 4 year old bitch just happened, She has only been in heat for 6 days so she is a real lil slut!!!

 

I don't think there are any tradesmen left that would do that Carl, remember doctors making house calls for $25.oo, milk, bread and eggs delivered right to your door. What happened to the good old days???

Morning Grandpop

 

Morning all:
Or is that; Morning Granpoop! Gonna be lots of poop!
The guy that has my clock does have house calls listed on his business card, but like you posted, they're getting few and far between. I think we're lucky to still have someone like him in the area. All the local Old Timers, that could repair this type of clock, are long gone.

 

you're not very nice!!!!
