After getting in a couple of typers I couldn’t fix, I’m happy to say I have another one that is in good condition. Once I install a fresh ribbon, it will be ready to go into my classroom rotation. It’s a Royal Eldorado Deluxe portable manual #typewriter, made in the early 1960s in Holland.
Another #Typewriter serviced, worked well even despite. 1970-80s German Olympia Traveller Deluxe. Loads of these come in surfer contrasting colours. My project is to make it wedgewood!

“… I drove and I listened …”
6+hrs in a car with two VERY excited 16yo girls, driving back and forth from San Diego to LA for a concert. Lots of time stuck in traffic on the way up, and then the excited retelling of the concert on the way home.
You hear a lot when you listen.
I recently purchased a 1980s thermal typewriter on a whim as me and a coworker were discussing if people still use them for work and apparently they do! There's even a repair shop in Rhode Island that still services them!

Typing Had Consequences Rick remembers when fixing a typo meant correction tape, careful alignment, and luck instead of tapping backspace until the evidence disappeared. #GenX #BackInMyDay #RickHarlan #Typewriter #GenXMemories #GettingOlder #GenXHumor

Wrote this while I was sick 2 weeks ago. Something different: I contemplated the fork? 🤷🏻♀️
Loveeeeeeee using this Brother Charger 11!!!!! 🥰
I have been thinking about how it would be neat to find a “bridge” electronic #typewriter — one that is part word processor, part typewriter—to show students how these machines evolved from manual to computer. And what did I find at the thrift store for $11.50 in perfect working order tonight?
Drivers park in fire zones and simply wait for a resident to vacate street parking, others loop around endlessly. Honking and shouting incidents are not uncommon, when clashes occur over who saw the spot first. All to avoid expensive meters, garages, or parking tickets.

A bit “under the weather” this morning, so had to skip the track and my usual Sunday morning “church.” Just a slight cold, but enough that it negated any and all sleep. So today is a rest day, almost like a “sabbath.”
“… like sausages …”
