Loungers , i have been gone for a while, the whole family thing, my oldest child almost died from a tumour , my wife ended up losing her mind and then dying , the problem is being a tradesman . you must work and provide but the shop starts getting cluttered, the house starts being dumping ground. You use the kitchen table for doing invoices. You become like that old widower down the road as a child who wore cardigans with holes and had a car engine in the kitchen rebuilding it. You lose a good friend or two , old men tradesman and then one day you meet a woman who changes all that, a blind lady who appreciates a old fashioned man. Now the tradesman is changing , we for a year have a etsy shop selling antique sewing related items world wide, mostly USA, that side line is doing well, its a larger world. So this oct i am getting married for the last time, new fedora on the order Black, 59 studebaker getting panted osasis green, factory colour , new suit , custom fitted. The store was cleaned out and a new floor installed by amish, today they are coming to install new solid oak fixture in the store . No sawdust board for me, solid oak . The market for restored sewing machines and parts is there, the shame is that tradesman are dying out and the next generation isnts training to replace them, i taught my eldest but she would rather be a researcher of ancient studies, her class at UN TORONTO actually was at the vactian during the smoke from the chimmey thing, field trip booked for a year talk about timing. i am so happy to be getting back to living and doing my trade better . i will try to glance on her and post my new suit and black fedora from Magill. oh my wedding cake is being custom made, with a custom fondit scuplture of my 59 lark in the new colour on a black top with just married heart and cans . The reall one for the lark is being made as well, with cans. 59lark on the road again.
