Quality is Quality:

Quality is quality! As you know I fix and maintain vintage clocks, its become a small business and hobby. Recently I baught a Waterybury 20s Office clock with a damaged face but was running and a non running clock of the same type with an intact face. Bored I pulled it apart, the seller had attempted to fix it before and used machine oil to lube the wheels (Gears and Cogs). Anyway, it was jammed soild.

The oil did not help nor did the spring being wound so tight it had become kinked. I had buy a replacement; big mistake! I housed the main sping, and fitted the workings back together and begain my tests. I wound the clock up, and ping!

The main spring snapped, and flew at me, slashing my arm open. I had to go to hospital and get a couple of stitches. In my time working with vintage clocks, short of doing something stupid a main spring shouldn't break, I've worked with forging from the 1800s, to mid to late 1900s. Then I read the package, made in india!

Looks like I need to get myself a costume...

Cat people are some of the most boring people. Cat profile pics. Cat this, cat that. Yeah, cats can be cool. Whatever. I've come across some nice cats. But let's see how well you can train your cat. I hardly ever see well trained cats. They mostly just destroy everything.

One time this cat obsessed guy lectured me about how cats are better than dogs. He obviously didn't understand dogs. He seemed to think dogs are intellectually inferior and just follow anyone around. Nope. They actually follow who treats them the best, and leads the best, just as they would if they were in a pack. That's smart. It's why they're so successful in the wild, even domesticated stray dogs. They'll form large groups or packs when humans aren't present, with their own hierarchy. Do domesticated cats travel in packs?
