Hi all, after being unable to connect for a week, we're finally able to get some Internet. We're both sitting at a picnic table in the next site over typing away! We're at a camp ground in Burlington, Vt after spending a couple of weeks traveling N first to Va, then to Ottawa, Ontario, then back S towards but not directly home. Got offered a fairly nice 301 today for $200, much more then I can pay. Guy said it worked well, hadn't even bothered to clean it up, but it did have the case.
All the rest of the machines except for the 99 I bought and sold in 3 days in Va at the beginning of the trip have been nothing special. I bought a souvenir thimble in Canada and a few bits of fabric from thrift stores, no great find yet!
