  1. This is very cool, I am really looking forward to seeing what comes off the rollers. Let me know if you need (are desperate for) a cut-off man. lol

    Interesting Cats

    I stand corrected. Thanks Duffy!

    Interesting Cats

    I think they are atypical 5-vane Vitros. I have seen others that are similar.
  4. Try pressing the control and plus keys together once or more, Ann. It'll take a while to get comfortable but it seems cleaner and I think I'll like it just fine - seems like there might be some improved functionality and ease of use too. But then, I try to embrace change, since it's the only thing you can really count on. And while I'm here, it's a good time to be sure that Lou and Steph know . . . I really do appreciate the forum and all you do to keep it running smoothly!
  5. You have no idea how bad I want a big fat bagel with 1/4 lb of lox and cream cheese on it, right now, and I am at least 75 miles from the nearest place I could get one . . .
  6. Sugar Cream Pie is a sweet vanilla custardy/cheesecakey thing (the official pie of Indiana). The fruit was exceptionally tasty stuff I gathered in the wild and froze away last spring/summer. I can collect enough raspberries around here to float a boat, but I have found only three decent wild (woodland) strawberry patches on our property. It takes about 20 berries to make a handful but they are much better than the octaploid behemoths that are typical, IMO.
  7. . . . a slice of sugar cream pie topped with strawberries and black raspberries. MMmmmm good!
  8. Very cool! I like when there are lots of marbles - the chaos is fun.
  9. Nothing better than an eclectic group of vintage and antique marbles . . . and a nice salmon corkscrew too.
  10. 1 1/2" beater I just can't throw away . . .
  11. I think Euro on the first one and non-American transitionals on the others - all nice marbles, but that purple one is great.
  12. I chose a few months ago. Someone needs to step up and make a decision. No one will fault you for it. It's a short month, and if we require some sort of consensus this thread is dead. Post one up and stake your claim!
  13. Thanks, Brian - excellent pics, and a great marble too.
  14. Nice marble, Galen. AV on a CAC can't be common. Could we see the gather?

    Ring Men

    Ring Men . . . very interesting. From the article description and the name "ring man" it sounds like the ring men might form a circle surrounding the "prize" (winning) marble. I imagine it would be challenging to shoot a 1" ring man out of the playing area with a smaller shooter and I wonder if there was a foul if the "prize" marble was hit while you were trying to remove the ring men. So many questions . . . very interesting, Steph. I second Al's sentiments . . . thanks for posting it!
  16. A nice Master. Harder to find than a Tiger Eye (purple instead of blue) IMO.
  17. That's what it's called on the WVMCC site - figured I'd use it.
  18. I think that would be a Moss Agate - Akro, I think.
  19. It's a little hard to tell but I am leaning Akro.
  20. It appears to be a later Vitro All Red.
