I still haven’t tried to sew with the Two Spool. It looks like it will fit in the base of that Minnesota K I bought. The hinge pins match up and fit in the Two Spool. I am still looking for the screws to the hinge pins, so can’t try it out yet. That base will need drawers at some point, but I think it will be a good match for the machine.
I am thinking about going to the PNW TOGA in Auburn in June. I really need to thin the herd a bit, especially if we do move cross country. I just picked up a Singer hand crank for the little 28, so I guess I’m keeping it. I’d like to get it all put back together. It’s actually my oldest machine. I have this mental inventory of the machines I really want to keep and I would like to rehome a few electric machines. I think I will be using those less in the future.
Mostly I am bummed out as we had folks over this weekend working on the house. Our friend did a great job in the living room and painted about half of it. And he cleaned the dirt and grime off things as he went. We have to match two more colors of paint, so we can finish the front part of the house. There’s talk of a garage sale this weekend, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen. I just get drained when I’m around other people all day. I just don’t feel like I had any time off. Oh, and I replaced the keyboard in my ThinkPad and worked on the Two Spool. Lon was impressed that I could span those technologies. I love these ThinkPads. They are so easy to work on and I am used to the little pointer mid keyboard. It’s much faster than the trackpad, which I disabled. I picked up an amazing electronics tool kit from Amazon, that should have all the tools I need if I decide to start taking cell phones apart.
And, I don’t have a copy of the pictures, but this marks the first day that Jake and Gary have played together without any issues! It was wonderful to see.
