I'm a regular
It looks like I am getting to be a regular, posting roughly every 3 years. How about that?
I'm writing this while sitting in my recliner chair, and as I look outside, it looks like it might start raining in the next 30 minutes, here in Northern Arizona.
The day after Christmas, I fell early in the morning and fractured the two bones in my lower right leg, where they join the ankle. So it has been a slow winter and spring for me. The bones have healed, but now I am going to physical therapy to gain the strength back in my leg. I'm anxious to get back driving so that I can have my independence back.
In the meantime I spend a lot of time on the internet, mostly watching youtube. It is surprising what you can learn by watching videos. Railroads, construction equipment, milling logs. I even learn something from eBay.
That's it for now.

Update March 2018
It's been a long time, but I will try again. Some day I would like to start regular postings, but not yet. Too many things on my plate. Maybe in six months. I don't travel, so it will have to be mostly about hobbies.

Another attempt
Let's see what happens. I am trying to write a new post, so that this blog doesn't die from lack of use.
Recently, in the past year or two, I have acquired 4 Brother Daisy Wheel Word Processors. They were popular in the 80's, but have been replaced by computers. My interest really began when I bought a Friden Flexowriter from the surplus division of General Electric Computers in 1971. The Flexowriter was basically and IBM 01 electric typewriter, to which Friden added a paper tape punch and reader. You could make a tape which, when fed into the reader, would reproduce the document exactly.
The next time I post, I will explain why I have 5 Brother word processors, 4 are daisy wheel, and one is inkjet.
