Need willpower . . .
 
looked on Craigslist and found a Singer 24 in a treadle cabinet . . . only problem is it's 4 hours away, and I've got so much other stuff that needs to be done. . .

But I so want to get a treadle cabinet for a chainstitch machine.

I need to be strong - there will be others that come my way . . . and besides, I don't have room for what I've already got . . .

Sad condition is it not ? being such a good home for machines in need and not being able to store them all ?

Oh that would be hard. Maybe you should try and convince yourself the machine you have would not fit the cabinet. Or there must be some terrible flaw in the cabinet or they would not be letting it go?

But 4 hours does make for a nice road trip.....

yea, is looking that way . . . DH says "go for it"

Good news - there is also a quilt show in Mankato tomorrow and we normally head through Mankato on the way.

Now to see if it's still there . . .

so much for will power, got set up to pick it up tomorrow around 9:30.

Now I'm gonna call on the White in the Martha Washington cabinet - if I'm going to make the trip, might as well get more than one.

I agree. A four hour road trip is a nice mini vacation.

I can relate... I have been looking at a 1965 Corvair Corsa that I would like to make into an Autocross car...

Heather just said the same "go for it"...

Can you still see the Jolly Green Giant in Le Seuer from 169? If so, wave for me.

Brings back memories.....When I was in college we worked on a couple of these for a guy who had several of them. Corvairs were built too far ahead of their time. Neat cars.
