Reviving POTPOURRI

BuckeyeDennis · Post by **BuckeyeDennis** » Thu May 15, 2014 1:12 am

Glad you guys enjoyed the fawn photos. Just thank your lucky stars that there were no pics of me, sans bathrobe, chasing the fawn up the muddy stream bed in flip-flops!

If history is any guide, that adorable little fawn will very soon start eating my hostas and impatiens.

Dennis, this is the "Community" section. Doesn't have to always to be about woodworking.

But, I digress.

THANK YOU for the story! Made my day!

And, if the little one eats more of your flowers, can you think of a better use? Me neither! If you want, I'll buy and send you more seeds. (If I can find them here in Ari(d)zona.)

As well as the purpose of potpourri. Anything* is appropriate.

* Well not XXX.

Rambling thinking? out loud here, but as is often the case with e-bay and cl links, they eventually expire.

Can a 'copied' html file be attached instead so later it would be 'available'? I realize any links within them would not work 'post mortem'.

Gonna try with a random e-bay listing.

Nope, invalid file type.

So a screen shot instead.

Maybe too much trouble!

Here is one from ebay.

Copy and paste works for me but this might go away when the listing expires.

I don't know exactly why we would want to post someone else's CL or eBay pictures for historical purposes but it seems it can be done.

This is a Speed Reducer currently listed on eBay.

I used the snipping tool to capture the image which is now a permanent file on my computer. Well, it is permanent until I go erase it. I believe that it is now also a permanent image on Shopsmith's website server.

Because often a thread becomes a discussion of listed items after a link has been posted. Folks reading later cannot see what the hubbub is all about.

I got to meet up with Gene Howe today. Great guy, and I had a good time even if I didn't talk much. Gene, it was a real pleasure meeting meeting you! If you're ever this way again, let's do it again.
