More Words From a 104 Year Old Typewriter

I still can't type very good on this typewriter.  Then it is a new method which must be learned, and I am not taking time to properly learn it. 

Typing outside after finishing touch-up painting.

I've not been that much of a Halloween person since probably my teens.  I decided to beat the soon to be cold Michigan weather and finish touching up paint on the outside of the house so I hopefully do not have more to do when Spring of 2027 arrives.

I had enough time for a quick typecast. 

We've been having an unusually warm October with day time temperatures in the upper 70°sF and 50° F or warmer mornings after an overly wet September.  

Autumn leaves are mostly gone so I may not get to do any very colorful images with the next CotM. 

I hope to finally make a mistake free typecast in November.
 

Typewriters are Getting Older: A 104 Year Old Typewriter and CotM

 

 

After the car wash I have a short drive on a city street before I get to this first road on my way home.

This is the second turn onto the road to my house at the end of the video.

 

104 year old Corona 3

My videos are not edited and are as bad as my typing.

Using this typewriter reminds me of driving trucks that needed double clutched and triple clutched.  I'm sure I can still do that as well as drift shifting, but I cannot get the hang of pressing CAP and FIG while one finger typing with my right hand.

 I've tried touch typing on my Corona 3 typewriters.  Not very successful.

 I have not done any Durometer readings on this platen. It is hard.  I'm sure it will peg my Durometers at 100.  Neither go above 100 Shore A.

 

A note on taking photos while driving.  It is much easier with a 35mm SLR.  Set the camera for 1/125 sec. at f16 and use a 100 to 200 speed film.  Digital cameras are much more involved, especially when the autofocus focuses off the glass. 

Photographing while driving is like shooting a shotgun, aim without much looking, press the shutter release, and you get what you get because you cannot take your eyes off the road. 

Blogger Security ALERT. If you keep old blogs on your blog list .....

 If you keep old blogs on your blog list beware that many are now links to malicious  sites.  I just noted and update on some inactive blogs, across Google and WP that are linked to risky sites.

 

My list may get quite short in a few minutes. 

 

Looks like most links have gotten hi-jacked.  At least on my blog. Not sure how much Blogger code I can see to even guess what is going on. 

 

If I have blocked or removed your blog from my bloglist, please leave a comment or send an email and I will re-add it.  I did not take time to trace each malicious.

 

I will miss revisiting even the inactive blogs as they do contain great information.
