While sitting in my study room I realized what I thought was a quiet snowy morning was actually something else. Seven antique clocks were ticking away. See if you can hear each clock's distinctive beat.

My father loved gadgets (VCR) and documenting everyday family events. At the time we all put up with his roving camera and now seeing his videos I wish he was here for me to thank him for taking the time. Simpler times...

This is a short video from my family's past. My father (grandpa) loved gadgets, like the VCR and would even turn it over to his grandkids. As you can see he didn't understand about auto-focus or white balance, but attempts to document Thanksgiving in New Jersey around 1987...

As I was quietly standing in my flower garden, which is located in Sparta NJ, when a male hummingbird stopped by to feed from red minarda. He was chased away by another hummingbird. The birds appear to be territorial.

My butterfly garden in Sparta NJ for 2021. Although the videos is shaky it is still a good example of this years flower garden. Most flowers are allowed to grow as they like, except maybe the Green Envy Coneflower.

Two more Black Swallowtail Butterflies that wintered over here in my garage in Sparta. We love to release them into the wild.

Jake the Pitbull smiles at his owner. One happy 100 lb doggy.

Here's the second butterfly that I wintered over in my garage. It's a female Eastern Black Swallowtail. As a caterpillar it feasted on Rue which I grow for the butterflies.

Old Vienna Regulator in 2018 before restoration. Here is it running with its original movement.

One Hundred and Twenty Year Old Vienna Regulator... Well it started out that way. After months of locating NOS parts and making many more I finally finished this clock. Case needed repair, NOS Hermle works, replaced cracked glass and now setting it up to be an accurate timepiece.

March 26, 2021 and it's as windy as can be. Stuff is blowing around and old limbs are falling. Powers been out for a short time.

Decided to test the zoom on my old Kodak digital camera. I figured my 1890's time clock would be a good subject. Seems the clock and the camera are still running and working well. The clock was partially disassembled to clean and oil.

My Grand Pa asked me to help him with his new Moto Z. He was having trouble taking pictures and videos. He told me he had gotten "Some Stuff" but wasn't sure how it got on his phone. This one video is priceless; that is if you know Pop Pop.

Two hours of soft summer night rain from Sparta N. J. This was the summer of 2019 and video fades to black to aid in slumber.

As the snow falls Jake and Moe are reluctant to adventure out. This is the 5th winter storm this February 2021 and as we say here in Jersey, "It's getting a little old".

A few years ago I decide to build an SSG Motor. It is suppose to charge one battery using an another battery and an inducted pulse from the big spinning wheel. This one only induced a charge that had me hopping around my shed.

A pleasant summer stroll to the back of my yard surprised me with the appearance of a Black Bear family. Surprising in that they were located about 300ft from well traveled Rt517 in Sussex County N.J.

Mac and Jake, two rescue Pitbulls, are on the job. They keep an eye on the comings and goings in the neighborhood.
