  "textContent": "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd I had a notion to accomplish some brass polishing, because I have a couple things, that are made of brass that haven't been polished in forever.\n\nNot that I'm all spic an span, and into dusting and unnecessary labor and effort. Obviously I waste most of my spare time blogging...\n\nbut, the brass for some reason had me motivated to get it cleaned up. A compass, and a dipping compass (neat thing I leaned of and picked up CHEAP as no one else bid on it) and a transit I got a couple years ago with an oak tripod, and a pair of wood and brass folding rulers (Stanley #62 and #32) and the middle of a great ol jackknife made by Western States Cutlery, it's an innovative design where the knife side and the fork side, slide apart so a cowboy (or Boy Scout) could use it as a knife and fork combo to eat with OR just use the knife when a knife is needed for cutting stuff.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese are after the polishing (except the interior of the compass cover, those are still varnished) of course.\n\nNope, nothing to do with cars, but, has a lot to do with why I haven't posted mush this week so far, and hell, I figure, most of you are regular readers, average age of 68, and might not mind seeing the brass stuff for a change. You can bet it won't happen again, as I'm not collecting brass stuff. I'm just out to do a boit of caring for the few brass things I happen to have.\n\nI'm also distracted by Clarkson's Farm season 5 on tonight",
