Silo just dropped the biggest bomb in the series thus far. Cards on the table! Next week should be a fun one, and then it’s a race to the finish in the final season. Still don’t love some of the adaptation choices, but some of them are starting to make sense…

I'm slowly closing in on a completist collection of Royal standard typewriters.
Here's most of my collection so far. Only a few major must haves left, but also still a few to finish refurbishing. Seven are fully refurbished, though two still need some small tweaks; all type but two need some reasonable work, and the rest need a full clean/oil/adjust.
From bottom to top, left to right: 1935 H (with 5 key decimal tabulator), 1935 KH, 1936 KHM; 1945 KMM, 1946 KMM-18 (with a 10-key decimal tabulator), 1950 KMG-P; 1950 KMG-E, 1955 HHE, 1954 HHS (pica double gothic); 1957 FPP (cameo pink smooth), 1961 FPE (sandstone), 1959 FPP (sea blue smooth); 1960 FPE (light green smooth), 1961 FPS-18 (clarion double gothic, pearl light gray smooth).
Anyone with a nice Royal 10, please inquire within.
Two new additions to the Royal FP collection this year give me most of the major colors. Anyone want to join me for a type in?

1971 was a year of change. It brought out boxier typewriter designs like the dense plastic body shells of this French manufactured Hermes 3000 and a very similar, but rarer Sears Newport, which was manufactured by Messa in Portugal.

We took the Rivian to Carmax and got a super low offer. After some research I stumbled on BidBus.com and took a chance on selling via their auction platform. It was a phenomenal experience. I uploaded photos and information about the car, they had it in an auction two days later, and it sold for nearly four grand more than Carmax’s offer. 👍🏻

Finally unloaded our Rivian. We bought a BMW iX instead a few months ago and have been waiting for the Rivian to be repaired as it was in an accident. It took fully three months because it’s a PITA to source parts from Rivian. Happy to be rid of it!
