I have forgotten a lot about machine needles though these say for "leather" probably as long as the shank is right any sewing machine needle might work as long as they are for leather.
Your local sewing shop might know if the shank is right,
I bought my Royal Ex10 about 20 years ago when I was selling on Ebay for postage. Now I only use it in the kitchen when we butcher a deer, bulk meats, hamburger patties, etc.
It would easily measure flour, sugar if I used it that way.
Jordan Holland said "For the book in question, maybe some inspirational permie related message. Maybe a quote from the forums here... this could start a fun, new tradition!"
I really like this suggestion so I found a thread all about "Paul Quotes":
Everyone use shorts like BWB, BRK, PEP, ISO so it seems okay. usually I can figure out what they stand for except ISO. I have tried google, etc and still don't know what it means.
Maybe saying something like "I loved this book and immediately thought of you." or "Thank you for always being such a thoughtful and caring friend"
I still have not been able to answer your question about what to say on the books to your husband's coworkers.
Janie, you are generously giving the book so that the message can be enjoyed by many.
Over the years I have been given books, usually by a relative who has included something similar to what you are suggesting. Later on, if I happen to pick up the book, I will see their thoughtful comments.
I like every suggestion you have offered. Please continue to include your autograph and your thoughtful comments.
Books signed by the author are collectibles while books signed by family and friends are cherished.

I am hoping this means that I don't need to take it every day. Due to the times we are going through, my pharmacy didn't have any available from July until now. So I ending up taking all of the emergency reserves that I had stocked up on. I started taking it every other day, so I may just start weaning off it.
I found that tomaotes triggered a reaction though not as bad as an attack.
We live where there is lots of limestone and we have well water. After the last attack, we got a reverse osmosis system which I feel has helped me the most.
When having an attact, I usually eat cherries. I can't say whether they help or not.
American Education Week presents everyone with an opportunity to celebrate public education and honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every student receives a quality education.
I have only had a reaction to poison ivy once in my life and I don't remember what I used to clear it up. The only thing that comes to mind is apple cider vinegar.
I have read a lot here at permies about jewelweed. It is not something that grows here where I live.
Here is a mention about making a salve that uses jewelweed:
Years ago, I was feeling really tired all the time. I went to my Dr. who ran tests and could not find anything wrong.
I found a book on zero carb. It changed my life and the way I still eat today.
I am happy to have a meal with only meat. I may eat only meat or I might have a lot of veggies and a piece of meat, usually chicken.
When I worked, I always took my lunch which was half a tuna sandwich with the amount of tuna for a whole sandwich, a huge salad, some cheese, and nuts.
I ate that way for so many years that I got where I could not even look at a salad.
The point I am trying to make is it is all about diet, no processed foods and cutting out sugar and starches.
I have not made this one though I know cloves, plantian and rosemary are good for healing mouth and throat problems. I prefer teas over tintures in this case.
I have never had the opportunity to hug a musician, except one of my kids. Are any of your kids, family, or friends a musician? If so give them a hug if you can.
Hug Your Favorite Musician! ... because it is National Hug a Musician Day!
I like your idea about the french door, woodstove, and facing the container South.
I grew up in Oklahoma though it was Tulsa so maybe it did not get as cold as your location.
Kids on my bus route didn't have heat in their 2nd story bedrooms. I was amazed that they could survive without heat.
If this was my project I would make the living area as small as possible aroung the woodstove. Blankets could be made into temporary walls and a covering over the door at night.
Dressing in layers both in the daytime and at night.
Planning to be outside when the weather is nice as much as possible will help with "cabin fever".
I have enjoyed keeping up with your progress for this project.
It didn't occur to me to mention in the original post, that my house number end in 13.
While we were building the house, we were living at both of our properties. Dear hubby wanted to get a post office box for security purposes since we didn't know when we would be there to get out mail. The post office only had one box available. PO Box 13!
To me, Friday 13th is just another day when the 13th falls on Friday. It just gave me an idea of something to make a topic for here on permies. And I got to spend a lot of time over on Pinterest looking for pictures to represent this day!
I have been looking into making some herbal concoctions for the health benefits. Some things I have heard about all my life but have never been around them or even tasted them.
I understand that bitters are good for indigestion. I thought they were something you put in a cocktail. So while searching for information I came across this article on how to make bitters:
We have "door pulls" on the inside of the storm door. The way our house was made there is a step to reach the porch, then another step into the house with only about two feet in between. It is easy for me to lose my balance here, so I grab the storm door handle to pull me up then the door pull which is on the inside of the storm door.
I bought more "door pulls" to go down our long hallway though the have not gotten installed.
Thanks, Jack and Tina for the suggestions and encouragement.
Dear hubby took over about 4pm yesterday. He continued to cook it until about 7pm.
I took one half out early this and put in the crockpot to warm it up. Dear hubby said to cook it until it reached 140' today as it had reach 160' yesterday.
About noon, he put it on the cutting board to shread it.
The part that was in the juices, he was able to make the pull pork. The other half he sliced since it would not shred.
I am happy the way it turned out.
The other half of the original Boston Butt will go into the freezer for another time. All we will need to do is heat it up and make pull pork again since it is already cooked.
"El Paso" is a country and western ballad written and originally recorded by Marty Robbins, and first released on Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs in September 1959. It was released as a single the following month, and became a major hit on both the country and pop music charts, reaching No. 1 in both at the start of 1960 (the first No. 1 hit of the 1960's). It won the Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording in 1961, and remains Robbins' best-known song.
