Sunday sock update.

By -
Hi folks, while Harriet is playing with henna at Tina's
I was tasked with going to the bank, and then a
trip east to the super secret road side spring.















Well, it's an open secret, as I first heard of this
spring when I was living in Schenectady.

In fact one winter we saw it briefly, when Harriet and
I were out driving. It took us an additional 7 years
to find it again. We KNEW it was east of Troy
some where but could not find it until earlier
this spring (pardon the pun).

Since then, to save money on bottled water
we will refill our own bottles.

All I will say is that the spring is roadside on a
north-south road between NY 2 and US 20

There are your clues, go forth and find it.

Meanwhile, those socks are progressing.

Socks at work.

Get ready for your close-up










I am digging these socks.

    That is some of the best tasting water I've had. And the socks are even more spectacular in person

    Please leave me some in July. And, I'll look forward to seeing the socks; the color(s) look great in the daylight shot.

For what it's worth, there ain't much unless you drink. Even then, most of those places are hardcore dives. Yet, there is one place that can be counted on time and time again..... Yeah, I am a sucker for the "Upstate Soft cone" the $2.00 treat that kept us going and driving from one stand to another when were utterly broke when we arrived here.

Mystery Wheel

Over the weekend, My wife Harriet and I hit an estate sale because we saw "LARGE ESTATE SALE (GLENMONT)" in the local edition of Craigslist. What really intrigued us was this snippet from the ad "NEW SMALL SPINNING WHEEL" To us, small means an Ashford not a great wheel What we found was Marked at $125.00 This made me want to pass.. Except this was day TWO of the sale and everything was...... HALF-PRICE...... This was worth $62.50 even if it did not work just for parts... I does not have a makers mark however BTW it does spin... See this image .. I added that purple leader and I spun that last night. Oh yeah it's a double drive that seems to have leather bearings and a solid flyer / whorl combo. Detail here.... Maddening I say, he who is used to the Ashford set up. I think it's from the mid-sixties as a kit-decorative wheel as the mains are affixed to the platen via square head 1/4" 20's nuts. And the legs have thread heads for screwing into the p
