I let the #GrandfatherClock in my great room run down again. Rather than stand there advancing the minute hand a quarter hour at a go, letting the chimes ring each time (which you have to do, since simply setting the time in one swoop leaves the chimes out of synch), I just set a reminder with #Alexa so I can wind and restart it at the time it shows.

老婆 bought a used #GrandfatherClock. Alatus is just happy that it extends his living room parcour course. Floor -> couch -> wall opening -> filing cabinet -> bookcase -> printer -> clock. The top of the clock is nearly 2m high. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

Haunting Art

"Half-way up the stairs it stands,
And points and beckons with its hands
From its case of massive oak,
Like a monk, who, under his cloak,
Crosses himself, and sighs, alas!
With sorrowful voice to all who pass,--
"Forever--never!
Never--forever!"

'The Old Clock on the Stairs' a watercolor illustration by William Ladd Taylor, feels all the more haunting when paired with this snippet from the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem of the same name that it first appeared with in a 1904 issue of Ladies Home Journal.

We picked this up for $100 and I feel so not guilty for spending $100 when I haven’t paid myself for three months… #grandfatherclock #clock #timepiece

And what morning would be complete without some minor grandfather clock “maintenance” and winding before setting out for the day.

Can Mastodon solve a puzzle for me? I'm trying to discover the purpose of an unusual dial on an old #grandfatherClock. It is the outer dial that puzzles me. The other, inner, dial clearly indicates lunar cycle, but the outer is split into two sections of 1 - 12 in a possibly logarithmic ratio, with a hand that points to the same number in each section. The hand moved number once a day. Any #horologists or #clock enthusiasts? #Boosts welcome
