Anyway, to get replacement spools (without ink) on them for this typewriter will be twice the cost of this typewriter was, shipped. 😬

Will think about that one. Apparently, very difficult to come by. Maybe someone has these 3D printable. 🤔

Oh, crumb, another one of these.

(owl box taken over by bees).

No idea how to get these things down... hundreds of pounds of bees, honey, wax and all 20 feet up.

Okay, I need to sew foam cushions for my new-to-me (free!) aluminum patio set. 2 inch cushions look to be pretty standard for these kind of chairs. Will have to figure out the best sizing... about 20x20. I wonder what color... Hmmm... Should have bought the extreme bargain priced roll of Sunbrella some lady had stashed in her fabric pile a couple of months ago, lol. Box cushions are easy! #random #sewing #

From Chaffee County Search and Rescue - South

"At around 21:00 hours on the night of Friday August 23, Chaffee County SAR South was activated for a report of an overdue hiker, wearing all black, on the Mt. Shavano standard route. Initial reports from our communications center indicated a group of 15 hikers on an office work retreat had left the Blanks Cabin Trailhead at sunrise that morning, with a group completing summit attempts and a separate group ascending to the saddle and returning from there. In what might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks, one member of their party was left to complete his final summit push alone. "
