>Bosch tools calendar from Woodcraft. It is published by Bosch with the Woodcraft letterhead printed on it. Oddly, the local Woodcraft store doesn't sell Bosch tools.
>I have a friend in Perth Western Australia that sends me a Xmas present of scenic pictures of Perth. Some years I buy an additional calender of Arabian Horses and Standard Schnauzer.
>I went to order a Lee Valley Calendar on-line this past Friday night and was informed that "these products are no longer available". What a royal bummer!
>Fella name o' George Boutwell, a Texas artist, puts out a calendar every year with a different theme. This year it's a compendium of old cars and old service station buildings he's painted. (Remember when 2 guys would come out - rain or shine - and pump your gas, check your oil and tire pressure; and gas was $.35 a gallon?).
Check out the link and explore his website.
No connection other than being a satisfied customer with about 10 or 15 of his prints either hanging or in storage.
>I guess that means the LV calenders sold well this season. I didn't around to ordering them for this year but I had always intended to order both of them. Had the tool one in the shop for last year.
This year I have a calendar with pictures of eagles in the shop.
>Life member . .. all those " mushy ", patriotic shots of Arlington, Statue of Liberty, The Flag etc. Fits in with the whole "work for yourself" American Dream "thing".
>Lee Valley tools calendar and one from my main wood supplier, Johnson's Lumber. The latter is composed of old pictures of their sawmill operations from the '20's and '30's. The LV is prettier, but the Johnson's has more local interest.
My #1 son and his wife gave SWMBO and I a calendar which has pix of their kids on every month's leaf. I like it best. The other one was supplied by Air Force Association, and shows airplanes. Grandkids are better. I trash most of the others.
>Doug is right about being retired and time racing, but I just can't get this watch off my arm! Without it I feel like I'm walking around with my fly open -- or worse. I've worn a watch on my wrist of one kind or another, except when I was in the shower or swimming, since I was 7 years old when I got a 1949 version of Mickey Mouse for Christmas (still got it somewhere but it is awfully scratched up).
