WInd up the cat and throw out the clock!

I wanted to share a christmas present I got this year...

I have grandpa Traxler's old Cuckoo clock in the basement, always thinking I could get it cleaned up to run.  I tried, but no matter what I did, the thing just wouldn't go.  Then I read that these clocks get very gummed up as they run, and,  at some point they just kind of give up the ghost.  So I asked Santa for a wind up Cuckoo and he(she ;-)  ) came though for me.   

I love hearing the tick tock and of course the cuckoo on the hour and half hour is so fun to hear.  I am still trying to get the timing right - it's a little different then the quartz movement on your Timex Ironman watch.  I have it down to about 5 minutes slow a week...I will get it!

Don't be cuckoo cats!
