Any of you guys ever, like when you’re just going along or doing nothing special, get a fantastic great idea slap you upside the head, the one that comes unannounced and unbidden, like Noah’s first gold ray of light after 40 days and nights of cloud and rain, an idea so scintillating that you get all puckered with excitement and grinning like you were going to crack your damn face off?
Hi
Did you know that Robert Adler he has 180 patent and one was the tv remote control. He die in idaho few month ago without money.
I have a few great ideas, but it still depend from the individual point of view.
anyway make feel good inventing ephemeral thing.
the winter is perfect for that.......

Pete, this was one of mine. I even spent crazy thousands to patent the idea, and ALMOST sold it to a major watch company. It ended up as only a tiny part of my novel LiveCell.
“Can you tell me about the Swiss patent?”
“I invented a new way to indicate time.”
“And?” she said, using his technique.
For a moment he seemed to listen to the silence of the empty offices. Then, in an almost bored tone:
“My watch utilizes colored light to indicate time. Three colored fiber-optic dots move in the same orbit at the perimeter of the watch face. Blue for the hour, red for the minutes, yellow for the seconds. It runs off of a single LED and has the advantage of being visible in all conditions, even under water. People with poor eyesight will be able to use the watch. It also keeps the center of the watch face free for other uses, such as digital readouts, or three-dimensional designs. As a clock, in a steeple for instance, time can be read from much further away. It’s also beautiful—at least I think so—because as the dots of light pass each other the color blends for an instant. Kids could learn about mixing color from the watch. When all three primaries meet you see white light for that split second.”
So simple when you understood it, but to think of it first—

That a life will be spent gaining inches,
When this distance is read in miles.

Will Do, Hev!
Can't wait until next month, when Iron Hill Brew Pub opens on HBG pike next to F+M. That makes 4 brew Pubs in the area- Stouts, The one in Reamstown , Iron Hill and LMB. Now if Allegheny ever gets the one in Mountville @ Rt30 started, we'll have a mighty fine Pub Crawl to try!
Afterwards, we run trains at my place in Landisville.
