Here is my cat "Lew" helping me adjust a pocket watch and adding  a hair to places one should never be.

After the loss of my wonderful girl Cookie around 10 months ago. I have taken the plunge and on Friday 6th I received my two 9 week old black and white kittens. So I welcome you to say hello to Freddi

Just stumbled upon this thread and had a read though.  I don't mind admitting I shed a tear for all your friends that have been lost over the years.  I've been there a few times, it never gets any eas

At least she looks comfortable. My daughter's cat 'Clive' regularly is bought round to us, it's sort of his second home. He manages to go to sleep in the most strange positions,

Yesterday I had to do my final duty for Lightning. She was laid to rest in the garden along side all my other departed cats. I’m sure the pain will become dull in good time but the memories will always be vivid of this intelligent and loving little creature.

How sad.  She was such a pretty girl.

Thank you for the kind compliment Mark. It’s incredible how a little cat can become such an integral part of your family. We are all missing her greatly. Time is is a healer, but we’ll never forget her.

What great names. They need a window each. How old are they? All the other cats are so lovely, you people are so lucky to have them. 

Hadley on the left is about 7 while Winston is just about 2. 

Hadley, for the writer Homer Hadley Hickam whose story of "Paco" convinced me to adopt a cat after some years without one and Winston, after Churchill.  We were asked to foster Winston for a month as the shelter was over burdened with kittens.  He exhibited some British Short hair characteristics.  Hence...

"Paco: The Cat Who Meowed In Space"  is a nice short read for Kindle users.  Heart warming and inspiring for cat lovers, it is also full of insider NASA information if one is interested in space travel.  Who could possibly not be!

Of course, no financial interest in Hickam on my part.  Just a fan.

I've been having a bad day today. Just into week 4 of loosing my puss Cookie. Its the evenings that are worse for me, here on my own. 

Hi there oldhippy , I feel for you .You still have all those great memories that you will never lose .Grief is like the ocean ,it comes on waves ebbing and flowing ,sometimes the water is calm sometimes it is overwhelming .All we can do is learn to swim .You are very fortunate to have loved Cookie as many people have not unlocked that part of their soul.Take care and keep on keeping on

Meet Joey. I collected him on Friday from an owner who has four dogs. He really was not happy at home, feeling bullied by his canine cohabitants. 48 hours into his new abode and he seems to be settling in just fine. [emoji6]

As you can see, he is a ginger long hair, so we will both need to get used to a grooming regime. He’s like a little lion!

Life is beginning to feel better again with a cat in the home.

Thanks OH. He’s still a bit twitchy when he hears odd noises, but given time he will be just fine I’m sure.

He is four years old, and spent most of his life trying to escape from 4 dogs. He will be ok living with me..... so long as he stays away from my watch parts [emoji38]

Here are a few of ours enjoying the sunshine yesterday.

This is Basil, the neediest cat on the planet.

Daisy. Passionate about being outside, we struggle to keep her in even in the winter.

Lola, Daisy's sister.

Mickey, Maisie's brother and about two and a half times her size.

Mimi, Mickey's and Maisie's mum. She has the most enormous sense of fun and chases balls out in the garden like she was a dog.

      Ball PW balance staff and hands

      By arron · Posted

      @JohnR725 that's very helpful.  I appreciate the time you took to give those instructions and post the pictures.  below is a picture of my staff, which looks identical to the ones you posted.  The approx measurements I got are: .772 on the left part of the staff; .715 on the right side of the hub; the hub is 1.107; and the overall length (minus the broken pivot) is 5.248; which seem to line up with the measurements you posted.  I didn't think to measure the pivot, which I'll do if there's enough of one left on the staff.  Thanks again.

      Incabloc Lyre Spring & Low Earth Orbit

      By DDean · Posted

      Thank you to both of you!  I've been somewhat derailed by this quandary for a couple of days now. I am guessing that the point of the wider tweezers is to support the whole spring at the same time in an effort to prevent it going under tension... I have already discovered the Zen of a clutter free space, and trying to keep my work well away from the edge, however the most terrifying of the flights wasn't so short, I had my work in the middle of the table and nothing else around.  That particular launch was towards me.  I distinctly recall feeling the spring hit my left hand as it escaped.  I only found it by dumb luck, on the floor, between the legs of my chair.  I need to order a pack of replacements just in case.  I think I recall a thread discussing where to find them, and the differences between the clones and the authentic ETA ones, pointing out that they're not interchangeable (the clones being longer IIRC).  Now I just have to find that thread again.  What I haven't mastered is the zen of the search function here.  I'm sure I"ll get that down eventually. So this is similar to, but different from one of the posts I had found in my original searches (or maybe I'm just hallucinating, I can't find the post I thought I remember).  The bits about the corner filled in a gap in what I'd read before.  At least I have a more clear picture in my head about what needs to happen now.  Yes, I've learned about how touchy these springs are.  What I'm not sure I have a good grasp on is the understanding of what causes the spring to flex, other than to say "the slightest little touch"  I think I'm going to try a small bit of Rodico to position the spring next time.

      The radial teeth are for hte seconds register, and the other (which is simple and doesn' take away significant torque from the train) for the minutes register.
