It's the M82-101, but the Valjoux 7733 inside.
I love "liking" what I like in WRUW, but it's a chore catching up "likes" after being offline for a spell.
Aged parents constantly require care and tending, especially doctors' visits. Some days were spent afield for turkey and wild hogs on two different hunts. On Saturday morning April 6th we suffered a direct hit lightning strike. Only got back online yesterday after the ordeal. Computer was partially damaged and modem, cordless phone base, clothes dryer, and IPhone charger all were fried. Worse and worse, from a personal point of view, the Kenwood receiver/amp of ancient lineage gasped for a few moments afterward then completely died away.
No stereophonic sound, no tunes!!! Gotta have tunes! The old Bose office CD player is just isn't cuttin' the mustard.
No watches were harmed in the over-current electric discharge event. My grandmother's 1952 Western Electric 500 phone, which is kept as a bit of whimsy on a phone shelf in the hall, shrugged it off, shook its receiver at the sky and disdainfully harrumphed: "That all ya' got?" So, once service was restored we have a telephone. Strange how readily an old geezer and geezette can re-adapt to a rotary dial.
Welcome back....I wondered where you had gotten off to.
Caring for the previous generation is a gift. My mother-in-law was not the "easiest person". After my father-in-law died, my wife shared with me that her mom would like to be "closer to family". Before she finished her sentence I volunteered that her mom could come live with us....I was willing to bury the hatchet. I thought my wife was going to faint from my offer. My mother-in-law lived with my wife and I and our three sons (and a continuous house full of their friends) for nearly three years. It was truly a blessing to all....it was an enriched life...it was family. She passed away two days before her ninety-fourth birthday (Christmas Eve). We are all richer from sharing those years together.
Get yourself a new stereo...or a good set of headphones...though it is better to share your tunes with those you love.
What have you got on your wrist?
Wishing you good health and spirit,
W
