Hello All! This is a new to me typewriter. A Royal Quiet De Luxe. But that is not all, It is a, lo es une máchina de escribir; Y mes, tiene ¿ ¡ ñ , y los, lo siento, las teclas son en español. Busca a la foto.
It is new to me and I am excited. It did take some work from Mett and it requires some tyning to get it lubed up.
Now if I could get Matt to charge a reasonable amount for his work. It just does not seem like it is enough. Perhaps just mailing him an anonymous bit of cash?
There was one big snd I mean BIG problem on the day we received the typewriter. As I was getting out my Royal KMM I set it down on the table and noticed I had no wedding ring. My finger was bare. We have been married for 22 years. With the exception of the one time I had my ring resized, I never removed the ring. Suddenly it is gone,
Now it is time for a confession. My wife’s family has a history of losing wedding rings. My mother-in-law’s engagement ring end wedding ring are someplace on Waikiki Beach. We think my wife’s (first) ring is in the garden somewhere. That is not the confession. My confession is feeling a bit smug. I did not lose my ring. No siree bobcat. I DID NOT lose the ring. Until Friday. So much for my smugness.
We looked in the couch cushions, in the car, in all of my pockets, and every other place we could think of. Have you ever looked everywhere including the packing materials for a typewriter? We did. Filled with crumpled newspapers I did not want to recycle it. The box is 22x22x18 inches, That is a whole bunch of stuff to shift through. I am very fortunate that my wife’s hearing is great. “Would you listen while I dump this stuff on the floor?” I upended the boxy and she heard something like a bell. I looked some more and found it. Whew. Perhaps it is time to get it resized again.
