I got out of jury duty simply by going down to the courthouse and asking one of the court clerks to have me excused. I don't even think they asked me why I wanted out but I had a reason just in case. | ||

Dave, that is a very interesting coffeemaker!! The glass part on the lid reminds me of the glass lids from the old Guardianware cookware. Have you tried it out yet? Terry | ||

Might as well continue here with today's finds.
I was in Woodstock to get a cheap BP Monitor at Walmart. Got a much better one at an actual Medical Supply place. Went thrifting. Sally Ann gave up this nice pair of SEARS two speed lectric scissors with lamp for $3. These are the alarmingly noisy vibrating kind and they work great. So pretty in pale green.

$5 bucks for the whole shebang on 50% Feb Madness Sale ending today. The writing is all in pencil, the same boy's name practised over and over in inventive styles. He was careful not to gouge the surface and tests show that it will mostly all come off with Magic Eraser. I just scanned all the sides to keep a record.

It pays to stoop & snoop around and under!
This caught my eye down on the floor behind a repro Coca Cola tray. A home made brass handled wood tray with picture under glass. On close inspection you can see it is amatuer (because of the needle drill holes off the line) wood fretwork like a marquetry puzzle and I think quite stylish in a 1920s sort of style - maybe from a photograph or calendar print? The individual pieces are loose under the glass yet fit together snugly. My story will be it was a love token present from a besotted swain for his sweetie on their anniversary of a magical trip to Niagara. I have a 10 " balsa wood stilleto my dad carved at the beach for my Mom when they were dating. It belongs on this tray, I think. For this I was happy to pay $12.

The true colors under flash. Lovely graining. View is the American Falls with Canadian Falls in the background. There are no buildings and I know you'd have to pan to the right to see the old 1929 Hotel that overlooks the Canadian Falls. That and the postcard-like frame matt surround design elements is why I think it was crafted well before WW2 when the Canadian side exploded into Tourism Carnival time.

Cheap but useful Chinese tools even cheaper on 50% off the s
Can never have too many of these close by the vacuum disassemble bench, says I. Particularly when one has small hands. Tools like this are usually American sized for big beefy hands like Crevictool's. :-) Up until this Ryobi - probably marketed to girls...I mean Women - my most used power screwdriver is the first generation Black & decker Charged them both overnight and they work just fine. The mini 'dremel' will be handy when the task is light detail grinding and polishing and one doesn't want to set up the 120 volt Fordham motor with long shaft drive. The nice thing is, both tool shafts are precise in their bearings aand thrust washers - they don't have that nasty slack forward and back so the tool bit contacts exactly where you aim it, know what I mean? And they are BLUE!

Obsesive Powerdriver Comparison
The shortcoming of the Ryobi is the very short bit collet, but it's good to have a torque dial. I can always snap in the extension shafts, tho. when the screw is way down there. If the Black & Deckers are 'WallE' the Ryobi is 'Eva'. All time Favorite is the early short light B&D with the long collet and tapered head for getting into tight confines. I have replaced its NiCads 3 times to keep it running. What I do is snag a few B&D multi-cell PowerPaks from the recycler, take 'em apart and re-spot weld the contact strips. I find that the end cells are usually flatlined but the middle ones are still viable for recharging. Next favorite is the compact packable orange portable B&D because is uses 4 AA alkalines when you forgot to charge the others. The handle is oval in shape so fits the hand well. Least favorite is the next & current generation B&D - it's heavy and badly balanced. The fluted handle hurts my fingers. Of course sometimes only a long shaft manual screwdriver will do the trick so I have several tool boxes full of reclaimed screwdrivers. Now that I have the full Torx line of tips the one I really need to get in these modern times is the one with the triangular tip - more and more toys and appliances use these screw heads for 'security'. Yeah, like that's gonna stop me from getting something apart. LOL
