Marvel Mystery Oil

limr · Apr 18, 2016

There's this corner of my garage that I just can't stop photographing. I've captured it with several different cameras and films, and even on paper with a pinhole camera. It seems to have been waiting, however, for IP film and an SX-70.

What I want to know, Lenny, is where did you find the keys to the time machine? There is not a thing in that shot that's younger than 80 years or so. C'mon. fess up.

There is a plan afoot for some Canadians (no, not Cruz - you keep him) to invade your area. Probably September-ish. I'll let you know and see if we can find a spot to meet. Because I am a fan of time-machines. And people who have keys for them. :boogie:

I thought that perhaps WD-40 supplanted it. But then, not having had the original, I may be comparing apples and oranges. Looks like I might have to explore the hardware store located in upstate Vermont, near my cottage. I don't think anything in that place is newer than 30 years old, but everything they sell works well and lasts forever. Quite possibly the kind of place that stocks Mystery Marvel Oil. At least now I know what to look for. Because everyone needs a little mystery in their lives.
