Well I've started the day by making a batch of meringues, they'll come in handy later today when I feel the need for a sugar hit.

Save some and make a batch of Eton Mess :D

I'm just away to do that and eat it in the sun. I've been re-bushing a grandfather clock today so I think I deserve it!

Or Cranachan :)

 

Edit:

oops - no meringue in Cranachan, but it looks similar :D

Re-Bushing a grandfather clock !!  Is that even legal - and then you talk about meringues so presumably whipped cream is involved - what on earth have I got into - hope my hard drive isn't compromised. (:-))

Whipped cream and bush - sounds like a bad political drama (or good - depending on your point if view)

If you like Wild Turkey you may like Costco "Kirkland" Bourbon.  My son told me about it, He likes Makers Mark from JD and came across the Costco one whilst shopping.  It is a 7 year aged bourbon weighing in at 51.5% by vol or 103% proof. Reputed to come from the Buffalo Trace Distillery (Kentucky) and tastes a bit like Jim Beam.  I will be refreshing my stock on the next Costco visit as I am getting low (;-)) post-197-0-82593800-1402122598_thumb.jpg

Pity about no Costco, its good stuff and my stock not low its gone !  Slight edit to above, Makers Mark is not from JD its a different distillery - B Samuels, Kentucky. - should have put "and" instead of "from" apologies to Samuels.  Wonder if it knacks up your grey cells. (rhetorical)

Geo,

 

There is a pattern developing here, I take it that like me you have what is normally referred to as a sweet tooth !

 

Try the Tennessee Honey half and half with 94% proof Makers Mark but don't plan on any watch repairing, in fact I wouldnt even breathe near one, also stay away from naked flames (unless its an old one of course).

 

Cheers

Well I suppose it might be a good degreaser?

 

On the subject of sweet drinks - I have a real taste for Southern Comfort. And I picked up a bottle of Souther Comfort special reserve from the airport on a trip back from Florida a few years back - very nice stuff straight up with no ice.

 

I would love another bottle but I have never found it in any shops here in the UK.

 

The Tennessee Honey is amazing stuff - grabbed a bottle last Christmas and me and my mothers husband polished it off in one sitting, we had no intention of doing that but it was so more-ish. The next morning (Christmas Eve) it's all I could taste - all day.

I think I might just take you up on that suggestion Vic.

What a great forum, it' amassing the things you discover! :-)

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi Mike I did a ships clock a long while ago, not a Hermle though and without getting the beast in my hands to refresh my memory I can’t recall the timing.  This doesn’t help I know but will start the grey matter turning.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      I have stripped and cleaned a Hermle ships clock. It was just oily, no major faults, and I reassembled it, following my photos in reverse order. The time train is fine but the strike train will not play the ships bell strike for half-past. Ships bells play a four hour sequence for the 'watches' and play double 'ding' for the hour and the double dings plus one for the half past (eg half past the second hour is 'ding-ding' 'ding-ding' 'ding'). Sounds complicated but it isn't really. The strike wheel consists of pairs of bumps (for the ding-ding) and no single bumps. There must me some mechanism on the half-past that lifts the strike lever over one of the bumps so only one ding is played. When I get to a half past, it still plays double ding. I have a feeling it is to do with the lever in front of the rack (there is a sprung attachment  on it) and the position of the wheel (to the right) with the two pins that lets that lever fall, but no matter where I place that wheel I cannot get a single ding at half past! Please can someone help with advice on positioning so I can fix this? BTW Happy Easter 🐣
