We all try too age the best we can, my man! My gray is getting crazier each day myself! I hope too see a Sturgeon from ya soon! I'm looking too be back out there next Sunday on the float too get my revenge on the one that cut my line!

Sorry, no fishing report today, we decided to stay home and work in the yard 😪

Nice 👍

I used to have a large collection like that myself, most of which I gradually sold back when I was doing the Ebay thing 15-20 years ago. I recall one that I was very fond of, a purple blob top beer bottle I sold to a man in Louisiana for around $100. It was fun collecting them though!

That's what I'm talking about. Nice group 👍

It's obvious that some of us, at one point during our another, either collected or acquired a cool bottle or two or some other sort of interesting or unique glass vessel. I thought it would be fun too see who has what, how they got it, and if it has a story behind it. I'll kick it off with a 1930's Marble "pop" bottle that I picked up at an antique mall a while back, complete with its own little story 😊

I'm nowhere near a great photographer, only camera I own is a digital 12 year old Samsung. All I have is this Android phone with limited zoom capabilities. But, I had to share this once in a lifetime moment and this seemed like the thread too do it on. We were in the middle yard this afternoon, spending the day getting some outside chores done. We are avid bird watchers and have 3 feeders, 4 different hanging cages for suet, seed cakes, etc., and 2 Hummingbird feeders. All of which are inside the fenced in middle yard. In the Southeast corner we have a 2 pronged Shepherd's hook with a feeder and watering station, which Patty calls the "Cafe". Today, a very large group of Chickadees and Sparrows were there and too our amazement, we saw an "Albino"! Man, one in a million moment indeed! The pics aren't great, but in one when they are on the ground it sure stands out!

Yes sir, love it! Alot of white and caramel in this one. I have my eyes on an opaque green and white honeypot, a chocolate pedestal candy dish, and a chocolate bowl my next stop in there 👍

In Lacrosse, Wisconsin today to pick up some new specs (my pair, the frame broke away from the lense) and stopped at a place I haven't been in for a couple of months. Walked away with this Slag Owl by Imperial Glass, a "twin" too the one I found earlier this year! No mibs too speak of but there are a few more slag pieces I want to pick up next week for sure.

Happy Akro Friday 😊

Those "beasts".... Sound like "someone" I know when that "someone" can't find anything when treasure hunting

One never knows what one will find in the random antique mall jar of mibs 😊

I decided to use my "Jelly Belly" jelly bean machine for marble display too a little while back. They have always been a favorite around here with their 50 original flavors for years. Found mine at an antique mall for only a few bucks. You should try some, Joep! I'm sure you could find them online 😊

× infinity.

Terrible. This reminds me of back when I was collecting football cards. I would always visit the Walmart in Decorah, IA too pick up a couple of "blaster boxes", which held anywhere from 4 too 10 packs per box. The higher end cards almost always guaranteed 1 Jersey card, Autographed rookie card, or some other insert. Blaster boxes also had a good reputation for yielding the short printed, hard too pull cards of the top players. When Graded, they go for big bucks. Ever so often, I would find boxes stuffed in the back, having been ripped open and the contents gone. Sad. Walmart stopped carrying the "good stuff".

But then again, are you sure it's your friend? Are you sure they are really cats? Thoughts of that movie, "The Thing", and others might have me a bit paranoid? 🤔

Oh boy, tensions are high! Who knows? Maybe they would all get together for a fun, peaceful game of marbles in the middle of the night? 😊

Cruelty free, I think not. It was cruel for the local market to throw you under the bus with this teaser 🤣

Suppose I could do a photo by photo...Captain Tom taking us over the river...wake behind the boat (hoping to see a Sturgeon jump)....pelican flyover....tugboat pushing a long barge through the Lock....Stacey with a baby Walleye...Don with his biggest catch of the day, big Lake Sturgeon...Shovelnose Sturgeon in the net...Big Al's "Big" catch 😂....Stacey catching 2 at once!....random fisherman with his "pedal" boat....next 4 pics of Don and his gal wrangling another "smaller" Lake Sturgeon....Big Al with his jig-caught Northern Pike (got a hold of his finger too), that's a nice Northern....😊

Great marble!

We just got sent another pic of Sean catching another Sturgeon but bigger! I'll have to get Patty too send me the pictures so I can post 👍. That's Don holding the Sturgeon and Patty's brother in law Big Al holding the big Pike he got jigging!

Just heard my buddy Sean nailed a 21 pound Sturgeon! (Middle waving in blue shirt)
