Crazy Cool 😎

Random 🌈 's for a Pelt Tuesday 😎

Nice Group! I'll throw some on when I get home from work 👍😎

×2....That is a nice Alley 👍😎

Thumbs up in my book 👍😎

Very cool indeed 😎

Universally speaking, it's always been suggested by the good people here that take the time from their schedules that anyone listing a marble too please take a small handful of shots. Seam to seam, pole to pole, etc. Usually this is said either when a person first joins marbleconnection, or when they post for an ID their first few times. Along with camera, lighting and background hints, etc. I'm absolutely sure Ric meant zero disrespect. Pictures are always recommended VS. Downloading IMO 🙂

They are all just a bit under 7/8....

You know what, I'm not really sure...couple more opinions will hopefully assist with that thought!

Missed my family here for sure!

I didn't do much treasure hunting at all the past year or so, just a little here and there, but made a decent score a few months ago...I'll get around to posting some individual photos of mibs when I actually get around to sorting 🙂

🙂👍, I usually take a quick glance at your place on the way to LaCrosse!

My Sunday's Best...a sulphide from a collector, brother, and dear friend 👍

Foraging around on a rainy day and came across some of my packed away sports cards. Used to buy the "blaster boxes", now reuse them for storage. More plastic totes somewhere downstairs...

Better shots of the stuff in the hutch...nice little mix of modern and vintage Mickey and Minnie and various assortment of animals by Fenton, Murano, Viking and others, along with porcelain, wooden, ceramic, stone, metal, and china figures from many countries (my favorites arethe raccoon, USSR; and the Fitz and Floyd Lions in each corner)

Scored this nice oak China hutch for only $150 in Houston, MN at a someone's moving sale a few months ago. Let me tell you, it's solid! Almost broke my buddy and I moving it! An absolute steal though! Love the woodwork and velvet lined drawers 🙂 It filled up quickly as you can see!

A little bit of everything....Where's Waldo? Just kidding!

You'll have to let me know where this is, after all, that means I'm rather close to this town myself. Would be fun too check this place out 👍

When your out and about and haven't scored in a while, it's rather easy for the "marbleaholic" to take over...As Chad might remember, one time I turned Green....

Since things were on a Vacor roll (just typing this when you posted Ric lol), I was thinking Vacor sunset also, but thought they were clear based glass? Kinda tough to tell but rolling with Sunset 🙂

Black and white ones are Vacor Orca's I think....

The first pic was the back garden. This one is the middle garden. I've also got the winter squash, like the watermelon, in their own patch for more running room.

Missed out last year because of my absence from the forum, but trust me, the garden was stellar! This year's goodies...not tagged are the pumpkins and squash. Also my lone Habenero.

Not too mention that Gunderson Health System reached out to me this past week asking if would be a peer mentor for an individual that just had a total larenjectomy surgery 2 months ago. I gladly accepted and am waiting for some dates in June to be set up! From what I understand, he wants to learn how to speak on his own without any artificial assistance. That's a tall order because I was told by my surgeons that it's quite rare to be as adept at esophageal speech as I am. Actually I am the only one they know of in the practice, in their experience, that can pull it off so well. "Burp talking" it's known as. Basically swallowing air and bringing it back up to vibrate off your muscles and tissues. Combined with the lips and tongue to form and sound the words. Took many months to get good at at, I just hope this fella is patient. It's a scary world too be in. What could make it more difficult is that post-surgery he had complications that required additional surgeries. Got my work cut out for me!
