What are you doing right now?

I just finished rebuilding the post WWII era Singer sewing machine that my wife inherited from her mother. She received if from her mother probably 15 years ago, but we have left it as a hallway decoration all these years. She recently got the desire to have me refurbish it.

The insulation on the wires was decayed so bad that much of the wire was bare, so all the wiring had to be replaced. After sitting for so long, I was concerned about all the lubrication spots, so it got oiled good with Super Lube. The cabinet needed a good cleaning with Murphy's wood soap, and then I applied a coat of Goddard's furniture polish.

After I was done, I plugged it in, with the rebuilt power cord, and tested it out. It runs great. I found a source for antique Singer sewing machine parts, and ordered a new belt and a few other items.

My wife wants to find somewhere more prominent in the house to display it, now that it is all cleaned up and actually usable.

Nice job.

Can you post a photo of this Singer rebuild.

My mom had a few over the years.
 
I’m watching the snowfall once again here in Southwest Virginia. I don’t mind snow but it’s unusual in this area for them to all be so close together. It probably won’t accumulate much though as they are calling for an inch and it’s right at freezing. I’m ready for bed I’m tired today. My first stick of deodorant that my friend got me came today he said more coming this week and weekend I’m like oh boy lol.
 
With his impressive résumé, he should be able to command a much higher salary than that...

Pride and Ego can very detrimental. I accept that i will be somewhere in the middle and whether that's where I'm supposed to be or where I want to be i have to accept that I am in control of absolutely nothing. I'm just grateful to be here.
 
Sitting in the lobby getting my oil changed in the Mustang. The recent crushed by a car thread has me questioning my 13 year old Rhino ramps and the weather hasn’t cooperated either.

They will do a good job but not coming back here again. Plain Jane Mobil 1 and a Napa Gold filter were upgrades I had to fight for and were an expensive “upgrade”. 😮

Will be doing it myself again next time. Quaker State Ultimate Protection and OG Ultra for the win!
