Stay home!

Doing a supply run to Alpine tomorrow to stock up for 6 weeks of sequestering at TFL.  I suggest you all do the same and plan on hunkering down where you are.  This is only going to get worse.  If you have vacation plans - cancel them for the good of us all.  Don't be a Covid-19 denier.   72, 84,47,0,B

so pretty...

I see a lot of people asking for prayers to bless all the people of the earth during this pandemic.  The problem is - God does not answer the prayers on the behalf of those that have rejected Him.  For believers - you must ask for guidance in helping to lead those who deny Him.  Ask not for blessings, but for the ability to lead the unbelievers to Christ and to turn away from Satan before it is too late for them.  Isaiah 30:9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

Be a watchman...

Ezekiel 33:7 “Now, son of man, I am making you a watchman for the people of Israel. Therefore, listen to what I say and warn them for me. ⁸ If I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to tell them to change their ways, then they will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. ⁹ But if you warn them to repent and they don’t repent, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself.  

Tesla Watch

Definitely a novelty item but somewhat collectable now as they were only made for a few years.  They originally sold for 50 - 75 bucks and mint condition ones are going for 150 - 250 now.  Got this one off ebay for $40.  Cosmetically it is in great condition but it needs fresh batteries and a new switch lever for the lights.  Hoping to repair it and at least double my money.  60,67,51,0,B

clock cleaned

After getting the musical clock running by giving it a healthy dose of WD40, I removed all that with some brake cleaner from Autozone.  While it was running fine, I had to degrease all the surfaces and gears - otherwise dust would end up sticking to everything and gum up the works.  Applied just a dab of clock oil to all the shaft bearings and added a touch of grease to the barrel gears and it purring along again.  76,83,59,0,B

cute as a button...

just a thought...

2 Chronicles 7:13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

not my clock...

Got an ebay delivery today...they sent the wrong clock.  This one is the battery operated version.  I ordered the wind up mechanical one which is much more interesting.  Now I have to wait for the replacement.  80,91,56,0,C

my stuff

A rehash of my hour a day cleaning method.  And no...I don't dwell very long over stuff that I "might" need someday.  1.  Identify immediate trash and throw it away.  2.  Identify stuff I want to keep.  3.  Identify stuff worth selling or giving away.  3.  If I can't sell it or give it quickly, it becomes trash.  In order to organize the stuff I want to keep, I am trying to store most of it in identical Sterilite 64 quart clear latching boxes (just ordered 12 more from Walmart).  Looks much better than piles of haphazard containers and boxes.  59,70,33,0,B
