Soz, just realised how poorly focused that is
This photo reminded me of the clock my Grandparents had, which my uncle inherited after they passed on and to be honest, I had forgotten about it for years. Until today, when I spotted it on a shelf while visiting my uncle for Christmas, excuse the cards and baby photo's -

Im not sure, it still ran when my Grandparents had it, I actually haven't seen it in over a decade. I should asked but my visit was full on with toddlers running around my feet at the time. Sometimes their is a benefit to being childless, I get leave the madness behind!

I have a Sessions clock that belonged to my grandparents . They were married in 1920 and it was a wedding present . I guess it's about 100 years old.. Cannot locate the winder key and the mechanism only ran for a few minutes . One day I'd love to get it fixed . It'd be awesome ..

Not surprised and deservingly will be convicted but she is taking the fall for misdeeds from some other people. Will be interesting to see what develops when all the victims come forward for retribution.

Well I finally gave my 2012 XLT Ranger a good clean and detail today something I have neglected for the last few months, geez the old girl looks new again.
Now I'm off to do the wife's 2000 KN laser, this is a great little car which is worth looking after as this presents quite well for its age, Mazda knows how to build good quality cars.

Technically, you are correct, in as much as you chose to ignore the warnings you were given but then I chose to issue you with a ban.

Yes Russell, I was letting members here know that you dident just cut me off for 7 days, that you gave me a choice, I chose the holiday!

What I said was favourable to you, just in case some members here may of thought otherwise!

Giving a 5 yr old boy an early birthday present, 3 toy trucks and a 5 dollar note, cost 20 bucks all up, it made his day, mum and dad split up, both dopers, he is shoved from pillar to post weekly, my nice neighbour is minding him for 2 days, has a little sister too, she minds her occasionally too, but his face lit up like a Christmas tree when you plug the fairy lights in.

It made my day and his!...too cool.

My air con in my car was fixed today! I thought for sure the compressor was stuffed but as it turned out they replaced some seals and re-gassed it and good to go better than before. It was just low on gas so wouldn't turn on.

I was expecting a stupid bill but only $350 and done really quick. It may or may not have another a leak but see what happens in a couple of weeks

The possibility Biden could be impeached if the republicans regain congress and even the senate later in the year. Some Democrats may even join in due to his complete lack of leadership regarding the Southern border and the financial mismanagement of the economy. Just to name a few.

Democrats might just reap what they've sown.

That makes me feel good. For today.

Just reading in my morning paper about 2 Perth runaways, man this is such a cool story, but a condensed version.

As reported by Shannon Hampton and Ben Downie.

An elderly Perth Man aged 80 years old, bought a ute and a dozen 20 litre jerry cans of fuel as he hatched a plot to kidnap his frail partner from a nursing home.
His plan was to travel home to Queensland through the outback?
She had told him " I just want to get out of here"

Ralph Robert Terrance Gibbs, aged 80 faced Perth Magistrates Court over the alleged snatching of his long time partner, 84 year old Carol Lisle, she has Parkinsons disease and dementia, needs a wheelchair and 24 hour care.
Mr Gibbs was arrested and charged with deprivation of liberty and endangering life, health and safety.
He was granted bail and ordered not to contact Ms Lisle for 2 years.

The couple were found at Warakurna, 90klm from the NT border, after an urgent Statewide search.


That is so bloody crazy but I love it, it did make my day, think about where they travelled?
I would have to think twice before I tried that trip, and I was an experienced prospector, I take my hat off to him!

It's 3:30am, cannot sleep, so what to do, well watch American Football, it amazes me that the commentators always get a yellow pen and amazingly circle the bad moves during play, oh he should of done this, and he could of gone here to block that play?.....I just have to laugh, it's in hindsight, not before the play but after it's concluded.
And the commentary is just so bad, but it makes me feel better than I am, it's just Yank bull****, but better than the news on Ch 24
