"If I drop off the face of the earth" warning is in place again. Attacking the plumbing today.

Superior?

So ... izzit ox? Like it looks like? Or "just" sweet sweet "ordinary" color?

Digging the aqua shades tonight.

why, thank you, kind sir.

No way! That's pre-2008?

Weird name coincidence ... my Great Uncle Charlie Sears helped design the Sears Tower. No relation! And Charlie's brother was named Willis. Willis Sears. Little ol' 7-year-old me in Corpus Christi, TX knew about that Sears Tower going up in Chicago because of that one time Uncle Charlie came down to see us. We ate at a Chinese restaurant that evening.

Double ingot? Or a big run?

Bob and I tried to make sense of this today. But I'm not sure we can count it as something we learned. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rubric That definition is all over the place!

That's pretty funny.

*waves at Shell*

That's that biggie? Does it have a name?

But Vitro did make sulphides! Or at least experimented with them.

How many games have you won with that one?

Congratulations! Nice catch.

Doh. Yes. Of course. If I had just read the other window I had open before I posted here. Here's a Cherry Bomb Dave posted, described thusly, "The Cherry Bomb has late nlr style ribbons and is a brighter red. I find them more in the large sizes 23/32"+."

So, about the Cherry Bombs ... am I correct to conclude that's the name for the NLR with transparent red base and white ribbons?

In that quantity, very good chance those are Vacor Roosters. I'm not conversant in "Cherry Bomb". Here's a short thread on the subject: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/21858-peltier-cherry-bomb

But this will have to do .....

Priceless. I need to bow down and worship. Oh gosh do I need a new fluffy black master.

In the middle of a plumbing crisis. If I disappear, that's why. Don't let Bob tell you differently.
