I forgot to add straight razors.

“I have your lost marbles”

Made a big pot of Turkey and rice soup today. Cooked the Turkey carcass and added 6 cups of rice. I added hatch green Chile to my bowl.

Why can’t I paste a link?

I’ve got a sample from a mine in New Mexico. Will dig it out and take pictures.

When I win I’ll buy you a store!

My wierdest job paid the best. For the last 17 years I have audited commercial properties for energy efficiency. I found countless cases where there were design/construction deficiencies the no one ever exposed due to liability issues. I exposed them and subsequently, and typically got fired for doing so. Talking millions in liabilities. I have finally said screw it and retired. I have never been happier to get out of the industry.

Yes, I have addiction issues…😱 we are in the process of downsizing…

Also military knives.

Not to mention Blenko glass from Milton, WV.

I also collect vintage canes.

I also collect Bryan Money, satirical pieces from William Jennings campaigns. 1896,1900, and 1908.

I’ve got a safe full of civil war and hard times tokens. Terrible at keeping records, all marked in reference books. Nothing certified, I hate the industry.

My biggest Pelt blowhole.

I’ll give you goofy! The last pic shows a wedding present from my first marriage in 1983. art by Robert Hutchinson (1948-2003)

Happy to oblige!

5 corks, crystal red-on clear crystal.

Thank you for picking up the mantle!

Ended up in Mexico/Belize/Honduras. Won’t be cruising RC again. Staff was (mostly) great but the food sucked. had a bartender who refused to give me a tequila shot with a Corona. I had the liquor package, and could have a triple martini if I wanted, but no tequila/Corona combo. stayed away from him, all the others bars complied.

You are definitely expanding everyone’s knowledge! thank you!

Thinking Heaton or maybe Ravenswood…
