x2, nice one Tommy

Killer PPP, look's like a volcanic eruption or something !! The metalic laid down perfectly on top of the the burnt ribbons. Dirty glass but immaculate at the same time !!

First thing that comes to everyone's mind I suppose evidently the person who came up with the name was thinking exactly the same thing !!

The term "A shoe in" is ringing rather loudly in my ears !!

"HAPPY AKRO FRIDAY" A few from the past, but I made a collage so might as well post it !!

Worth the wait !!

Thanks for posting the provenance Steph !! Great info !!

Good info Al !!

The J coat is killer man, good colors !! I love em !!!! My first was a sulphide but coats are my favorite handmade, bar none !!

Another handmade !!

My sentiments exactly, you can only sellout so much of your society before there is none left at all, I have a strong point of view on this subject matter but will keep it to myself (for now) I wish you the best William, my Father worked at Reynolds Metals and just made his early retirement age 3 months before they sold out !! A lucky man. The new owners walked into the cable plant 6 months prior and told the employees to get out, they were trespassing on private property, imagine the devastation after an average of 20 years or more of service having the rug pulled out from under you!! I feel for everyone in this position, hopefully the "Powers that be" will pull their head out at some point ??

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent !!

A good follow up, I might as well join the crowd, some more Alleys

Solid core !! I'll just act like the yellow isn't there.

Yes, those are freshwater Salmon, these are saltwater returning from being at sea for 2.5 t0 3.5 years. I'm intercepting them on their way to their spawning grounds, the closer to the ocean you catch them the better they taste. Freshwater takes something from them, I'm not sure what but after a period of time in the river they begin to taste like they have been washed out, I really can't explain it, just a big difference in the flavor. Wish you where here William you'd have a blast, closed alot in recent years because of low fish counts so you have to take advantage of it while it's open. When I was a kid there where so many fish you almost had to stand by your pole., not so anymore.

Salmon, my favorite besides Steelhead, this nice 15 pound spring chromer I caught drift fishing with 8 Lb. line right at the crack of dawn. I was Steelhead fishing but I'll take this one for our Dinner, fresh Salmon is fine table fare. Another Salmon I caught along the Columbia river plunking off the Oregon bank with spin glows, you can see Mt. St. Helens in the background to the left of my noggin still covered in snow, this nice fat hen went 23 pounds, a nice bright springer.

These two are Killer Bo !!

"Thanks Tommy" one like that was a long time comin, believe me.

GOOD MORNING MIBSTERS, "HAPPY WEST VIRGINIA WEDNESDAY"

A few, I treasure these mibs above all the rest, given as gifts by people who consider me a friend and thought enough of me to send a little surprise. These will never leave my collection at any price !! The beat up blue slag was given to me when I was 10 years old by my Mother, my first marble, kept on a high-rise acrylic stand in a special place on the top shelf of my best curio. I have many, many Jabo's all given to me by a very good friend, all hand picked as the best they had, first ones I ever had all came as gifts, some fantastic people, among the best and closest friends I have, "Marble Friends are the Best Friends"
