Sewing machines

Yesterday Dave took me out shopping. Saw a sewing machine store so we stopped in.
Its so fun to see new tools. Stuff I didnt know anything about.
I asked as I always do about new machines. And took home a brochure of the latest dream. Its only 16 thousand dollars.
Lol!
Thats more than my first brand new car in 1970.
Dave wants to know what kind of mileage it gets.

Double lol. Its more than my first car by 10 times. Dave corrects my math.

I always ask about sewing machines that hook up to the computer. The idea being that someday you could design it there, then stitch it out. The problem is “digitizing” the pattern. A line drawing such as quilted lines is not so bad, but the fill- stitch density, length etc. Its mostly tedious work. And worth it only if you ‘re going into production of multiples. I want the software to simplify the process
That said, the sewing world isn’t there yet.

Tocabe in Denver

Lunch! At Tocabe. It was great. Dave had bison.tocabeIt was a take on native American food. Kinda like Chipotles. Stand in line, choose the base- we had fry bread, add meat – Daves was bison, I was chicken, (hah) then add all sorts of things. Dave had posole, I got a jicama salsa… it was way good and different.

stopped

Stopped on the side of the road with fuel line problem. Yes we were in a place clearly marked no parking. But we had no option.

People honking at us, yelling and shaking their fist. Upset because we were inconvenient, and because of their assumptions.

So.
Moral of the story.
Assume people are doing the best they can. And not being “stupid” on purpose.

fixed

Dave fix. Less than an hour. Replaced a low pressure line.
A case could be made for not driving an older coach that might break down. But where’s the fun in that?

As Dave says: the adventure begins when the plans fall apart
