[billz]

From combines to crumbsters, we use them every day. This week's theme is machines.

The fine print:
Because the purpose of the weekly theme is to get us more familiar with our cameras and to sharpen our photographic skills, entries should be taken during the week of the theme.
Photoshopping is allowed.
To make this thread more manageable to view, please post only your entries in this thread. Post your comments in the accompanying 'comment' thread.
Be creative and have fun!

Must be my lucky day...just finished taking some photo's of our fleet at work, for posting on our City web page. Most of the machines/heavy equipment are used on a day to day bases, except for the tracless (sidewalk snow plow), which was take out of storage, to get ready for the first snow fall.:eek:

I have this old typewriter downstairs that still works. Have the typewriter ribbon makers all gone out of business?

I use this machine several times a day. It makes wonderful coffees. I really want a fully automatic one but we have used this every day for probably three years and it just keeps going - so cannot justify new machine.

With my style cramped by toddler duty, I had to use what was at hand :D

After surgery to remove a neuroma on his foot and developing adhesions, this is the machine my husband uses every night.

I have been away for a couple of weeks but still have been viewing everyone's submissions. My machine is simple - wheels. But the wheels sure make getting the dock out easier.

Thanks to the folks at Twin Paradox Coffeehouse for letting me photograph their very cool caffeine machine.
