This little device does everything for me. It keeps my hands busy and soothes my aching brain. It is made of recycled stuff and can itself be recycled. It produces nothing. It is, I suppose, the equivalent of prayer beads or prayer wheels. I just watch waiting for the moving blocks to run into each other. It drives SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) nuts which is a short drive and I'm always waiting at the destination.
Besides this week I am the supervisor and photographer on the "paint the front door" project which SWMBO needs like she needs another cat. This little quick two hour project is on it's third day now. Taking fifty years of paint off the old door is time consuming and becoming expensive. Unfortunately the old paint is not compatible with the new so it is a necessary step.
The new paint is Chalkboard as in old school "blackboard" which will give SWMBO a large canvas on which to put graffiti or art as she sees fit.
This is one of her 2.5 X 3.5 inch (6.35 X 8.9cm) drawings that I just discovered in a tiny notebook.
See she doesn't just sit around drinking beer and smoking cigarettes as I have implied in the past.
I'm hoping to see continuous changing art work and not just variations of "nuck fou".
We had a little set back yesterday as her teeth are falling out in sympathy with mine so there will be delays. Getting old is tough but doable, however it is not for the "faint of heart".

I like your toy gadget and the idea of having a door that can be repainted with the seasons.
You are right. We are trained from a young age to not sit and idle. We forget to sit back and enjoy the day. I'm working on it though.
DD: If you spin it fast enough it will catch fire so it can be called a tool. I've never had it catch fire.Sometimes I have trouble striking a match fast enough to catch on fire.
paliotool: I've been working on that for most of my life and have had limited success. It is my life's work.
I never could figure out how those darn things worked..... Thanks for the entertainment portion of my day!!!!!!!!!!!
“don’t just do something, sit there…”
Hi Richard,
If that tool can help meditate, like prayer beads, that's awesome. As such it looks like a fun toy to toy around with.
Paz :)
