The clock that came in from the cold

The other day, my grandfather clock [1] wasn't chiming correctly, so I took off the top portion (I think it's called a “hood”) and placed on a near-by chair. That was not a good idea as a few moments later, as I had my nose buried in the internals of the clock, I heard a horrible crash as the hood fell off the chair and was damaged.

Sigh.

Bunny and I dropped off the hood at Josef & Joseph [2] for rapair. Back home, Bunny found a box, cut the side off of it, and placed it on the clock to keep the dust out of the clockworks.

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like it's visiting from Canada.
