    My mixer is from the Kitchen Aid Division of Hobart and I've used it for about 30 years. I remember that I paid $300 for it all those years ago. I have a friend who does a lot of baking and she's told me that the new ones just arent built like the older ones.

    A few years ago I was talking to a Hobart repairman when he was in our bakery working on one of the huge mixers and he said that the company constantly told them to 'Buy American' but when he'd get a replacement part they usually said 'Made in China'

    As far as the 'Pattern' I posted, yes that's one of the old 'test patterns' from the days gone by way before there was 'cable TV' and people only had antennas or were hooked up to a network that distributed from their antenna.

    I remember the day we got our first TV what a joy! I can't remember which way it went but either my Granny paid for the TV and my Grandparents paid for the cable or vice versa. No you didn't 'rent' the cable back then you bought and owned it.

    We got 3 channels but Granny got 6. We received the major stations out of Lewiston ID but Granny's antenna was higher and could get the Spokane stations/even though they were the same ones as Lewiston's.

    Anyway I posted about what I made with the grain mill here:

    Dad used to talk about a family that lived out on the same ridge out in the country as he did and they wouldn't spend the money to run wires up out of the area they lived in and install an antenna and just used the 'ears' on the TV and they got one station and they were happy with that.

    I haven't had TV here at the Boars Nest in years and really don't miss it. When I go to my friends that have a zillion and one stations I find there really isn't anything I'm interested in watching. Most times when I visit my buddy Ski in the morning he's watching old Bonanza or Gunsmoke reruns.

    I have a couple neat things in the mail, hopefully already waiting for me at home.

    1 is a boatload (for me anyways) of washers and rod from our very own ajkenne.

    The other is a few slabs of horn and a set of bone for scales and a DE handle. My only DE is a Gillette travel safety that I found mint in pouch with the blades still sealed, I love it but even my smaller hands hate the short length.

    Nice batch has arrived yesterday: CVH MK133, Stenton from before 1830, and an old French (I think) L&W from the very beginning of 1800's:

    Really was not in the mood for buying. Recently moved to NC so my funds have been busy with other things. I saw this for 150 though and thought it would be silly to not pick it up. dimensions are 4 7/8" long x 2 1/2" wide and 3/4" thick. Does not come with original rubber but I have one I can use for it

    Someone said they are seriously not in the mood to double their money on a $150 labeled Escher? That's rich.
