MAGnificent Bldg.

Might still be usable. Looks like the cover is down.

So I've been mis-spelling ' toilet ' all this time??! Actually, I spell it the alternative ' fancy ' way.

I used to have a ' friend ' who had a friend who had a PADLOCK on the OUTSIDE of his apt. room. One day my ' friend ' padlocked the other guy in his room after the guy had been drinking, and he left. He said the guy was " hanging out his window calling for me to come back; and there's no bathroom in that room "

By the way, pictured is a " barrel-bolt "

Those hemostats(if thats' what they are) don't have any tracking teeth either.

I have one pair in my tackle box for certain types of hook removal, and I have one pair at home for..........................


They sure must have been in a hurry. Careless, too.
Maybe they thought they were coming back, and when they didn't, didn't care...

ouch

. . . .And there they are . . .

In the mid-70's my brother had moved into a house on the street I was born because the house was ' as they had been, before people changed them '
An old couple had died there , and he said you could still see the impression on the bed where one of them had died. The house came with all its' furnishings.
He had photo portraits he had found framed in the house, and he was using them ornamentally. They where of young women from the turn of(the last)century, and they were tinted blue and another color.(red?)
When I asked him who these people were, he just shrugged his shoulders.
There was also an old, wood, console short-wave radio in there that still worked, Boy!,do I regret not taking it.

A must for films with Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney Jr., shadowy and in black and white; now crackly, grainy, and hard to hear.
But thank goodness for them.
....what do you think, Igor...............

SINGER : once the premier name in sewing machines.

A canister of sugar tarts.

Dunno, just felt silly.

" I am looking for Sarah Connor "

At first glance I thought; ' twisted wreckage '.
Then i thought it was a pair of heels with straps.

I threw all my broken shoulder slings and stuff away during the great house cleaning purge of last autumn, but I may still have a tortuous canvas with metal slat and rivet leg brace designed for me ages ago. Only wore it a couple of times. Hurt. Rivets left green oxidized patina marks on my leg(washed off)
I was trying to avoid being drafted at the time.Sort of regret not having been in the service, but, of course we had Vietnam back then and that changed everything.
The brace was for a dislocated knee that hadn't set right.DR> also said there is a one centimeter ball of bone in that knee that is probably congenital and of no consequence.
Subsequent injuries seemed to have " cured " that knee and I have no pain.

And I thought ; ' So homey; institutional kitchen equipment " But no.


I used to perform surgeries.
Of course it was on worms and such. I'm a bug docktor : I do my best to save the lives and health of insects.

Very hard to get my perspective on this; tight shot. But I look to the lower right-hand of the frame and I see a ' cup '. I can't see, but if it is in someway attached to the machine then it probably is oil fill. Looking at the structure of this unit, that might lead me conclude that it is a vacuum pump. (resembles fish-tank compressor of yesteryear-that would, of course, be the reverse)
