A Jazzy Saturday

End of August out and about with Trish

Return to The Antique Mall

A real piece of telephone history

If you 50 or older you remember this? This is a vintage Ratory dial phone of the late 60 and early 60s. When I was little it seemed like the receiver weighed a ton and I often got my little fingers caught between the phone and the rotary dialer..Ouch! Right after I got it down to a science the touch tone phones came in. A new thing to learn but easier on my little fingers!

shots and stories of the day

I woke up today about 10am.Thats early for a day off but there was a list of things I wanted to do
1 Get a stack of pancakes at the Dunegrass Cafe

Done.They were good and filling! Afterwards I got my paycheck ,put some money in the bank and some for me and then went to the library to pick up some CDs I had on hold!
afterwors I headed to downtown Point Beach. I wanted to get more CDrs and jewel cases.
in my travel I saw this outside an antique shop

Its an oldie but goody and looks to be in good shape too!
I got my CDrs and cases and stopped at Hoffmans on the way home. There were other stops I wanted to make but the sky was looking grey to the north so I went home afterwords!

All aboard

mid January Random Blog

Already folks
This blog has no them, its just random stuff on my mind.
When I go into a local shop to film I usually ask if its OK. Sometime I get a no. Some folks get this look on there face like I'm going to do oral surgery on them.
Perhaps I should just explain its just for my youtube channel.
One of the latest no's sadly came at a cool antique store I went to
Canvas house antiques had some cool stuff in there including this very colorful vase.

 They let me take stills though. They can a small room filled with cloths and albums on the floor. I did sneak in a few seconds filming there! the albums were all under $5.00 each and the price sticker were on the inside of the record and not smack dab on the middle of the album cover! I didn't get albums for me because I have do CDs but I went to get some for a record collector who I will not mention because she night read this.

My creative motor started again and this is what it is

Its seems my level of creativity is the highest in January and February when it comes to making CD mixes probably because those are the months I'm stuck inside! This year has started off OK in that respect but I think old man winter will stick around longer now.

Today the wind out of the north was brutal and when I got home from work the inside of the house was 52 degrees which means the draft from the wind brew out thepilot light on my furnace! Dan got it going again though. Yay Dan!

photos of the day

Today I put in a few hours at the school. they are cleaning ,rearranging and renovating. I say an old tape recorder in the hallway.

This thing must be 30 years old! Califone was the supplier of tape recorders and record players for many schools! I wonder in they are still in business?

I stopped at my favorite antique mall to find a few gifts for one of my music loving friends on youtube.
here are two cool pictures I took there

these are two cool figurines but out of my price range but I took shots of them anyway!
