daninpd Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 The caption on that picture of Africa didn't come through. Those are areas of roughly equal population. TKOBBQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daninpd Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Why do you mostly see raptors flying with prey that is already dead and not struggling? A picture worth 1000 words. CentralTexBBQ, TKOBBQ, Boater and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daninpd Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 This little guy showed up on one of my hummer feeders. During summer we go through 3 quarts of sugar water a day (10 lbs of sugar a week), so we have hundreds of hummingbirds a year. I have never seen a white one like this.

jtemple Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 My son followed in my shoes and took up the saxophone. My dad is a musician, as was my grandmother (a Holocaust survivor). The crown jewel Christmas gift this year was my grandmother's old wind-up metronome, given to my son by my dad. It still works, but has a bit of a hitch to it, so it's not totally symmetrical with the beat it keeps. I may look into getting it tuned up somewhere, if I can find the right place. Very cool gift.

daninpd Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 The few and far between: "Metronome Tuners". No disrespect, but I bet that's a lost art. And my greatest respect to your Grandmother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtemple Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Thanks! I think it's a Seth Thomas metronome. The wood on the outside is mahogany. Here's a shot of the inside of the cover. I can't make out the signature at the bottom, and haven't found another example online of one with a handwritten signature on the inside, or with the same instructions written on the inside. I'm going off the shape of the metronome and the shape of the badge that used to be on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul in AZ Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Apparently metronomes have gears and springs very much like those in old clocks. Check with a local clock repair shop to see about getting it working. A quick look on line produced a few people that repair them One such: https://wittnermetronomerepair.weebly.com TKOBBQ and Boater 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
