Philco 46-480 Electronic Restoration

Hi Richard,

It is starting to get nice on LI also.  However, this week is a total wipeout.  I am in a really good Catholic Church choir (one would figure that after 62 years singing in church, I would get good at it, but it hasn't happened) and work in the parish food pantry, so I have been in church all week.  With the "Triduum" (Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter) coming up, I will be in church every night including Sunday for 2 Masses. (I am in the handbell choir also.)

Starting next week, I have to clean up, seed and fertilize the lawn, fix various leaks on Ms. Fixr's 2000 Explorer and replace the rear strut / spring assemblies on my 03 Taurus before something important falls off the car.  Throw in anything else that my landscaper neighbor breaks (like a front wheel bearing on his truck 2 weeks ago) and I may see an antique radio in about 2 months.  Problem is that at 70 (next week), having arthritis and being "fluffy", this all takes time.

"Do Justly, love Mercy and walk humbly with your God"- Micah 6:8
"Let us begin to do good"- St. Francis

Best Regards, 

MrFixr55
