Arrow Looking Forward or Looking Backwards

Lots of Zanax for the insanity of it all. . . Depends on how you look at it I guess;

Counting down till the beginning of a new year or counting down to the end of one. . . big difference. . .

I am not watching his year. Mainly, because i am using digital disposable cameras and by the time I got the CD, it would be too late. Maybe next year.

I think i will go into the basemet and fire up my Zenith.

It is a 29jc20 Roundie,from 1962, and worked prety well, the last time I ran it, (Few months ago). I did this last year, and will probably do it again!

The reason I am not posting pics of the ball dropping, aside from the last post, is that I haven't restored much in the last year, so I'm looking to the next year. Again, since I'm using a disposable camera, there are issues with that and I don't want to go back to vidcaps. Have a great 2005 everyone.

OK, it's still 3 hours away here in Calif but what the heck.
Watched it on the 53 Philco since it's in the living room and hooked up to the Satellite

Pic 2

I couldn't catch it at exactly the 0 hour because the camera wasn't ready.

Since CBS doesn't carry the ball drop and my VT-71 gets lousy reception on channel 4 (CBS here), I watched it on the RCA PFR-100
