I should’ve told this one first and it is funny but it’s also a tearjerker. The summer before high school I was playing Summer ball. Our team was undefeated. It was the last game of the season and the score was tied. All we needed was one run to win and I was up. Now I batted left-handed and I always pulled it to right field. Lo and behold in right field was the worst player in the history of baseball. The thing about him was he had the biggest heart you’ve ever seen and he always give 110%. Everybody loved him. I thought to myself if I can only hit it to him, I could run around the bases before he could throw it home. First pitch I hit the ball as high as I have ever hit a ball before. It went above the lights and out of sight. I was almost to second base when it came down and someone screamed “catch the ball Kenley.” He was chasing a bug at the time and looked up and stuck his glove in the air. You guessed it, the ball fell right into his glove. I was out. Our coach ran out of the dugout all the way to right field and picked Kenley up, put him on his shoulder and ran back in to the mound. He caught your ball Brett, He caught your ball. Everyone cheered and he was the hero of the whole year. We still went on to win the game, but he never let me live that down as long as I could remember. He passed away at an early age and I’ll never forget him. He and his big heart was my hero too.

I hit a ball one time to the right field fence. I told myself that’s a triple for sure. I could run like the wind back then and was sure I could make it with no problem. I had no idea the right fielder had a Dave Parker howitzer arm. He threw a strike to third base about about 6 foot off the ground all the way. I was about 10 foot from the bag when the 3rd baseman caught the ball. I was had. Seeing as I gave up the third baseman stood up to tag me and I pulled a 🥷 Ninja move and jumped to the bag Pete Rose style right under him. The umpire called me safe and the place erupted with laughter. The third baseman was really embarrassed and I felt sorry for him…. For a little bit.

7UP anyone ?

Must have been beans in the mix. LOL “Rainbubble” 😂😂

Hey yeah !

If we ever show bubbles again I got a good one. 😳

I found a pic of an peltier opalescent rainbow that is close but it didn’t show a back lit picture the interior. You can’t see too many air bubbles until you backlight it. There’s so many bubbles in this thing it ought to float. LOL 😂😂

Yeah, grandpas are. Mine was pretty awesome. Learned a lot from both of them.

Welcome Gman

Had my granddaughter today for a little while and she wanted to go walking. I asked her if she wanted to go shed hunting and it was on. She likes to ride in the backpack. Had a pretty decent day. By the way, she’s about to turn 4 going on 14.

Apparently it was pretty popular in the 50s during science class to do an electroplating experiment. What was cool was students could keep their penny and a lot of them made them into displays. If you notice on the back of this one, it has a sticky substance like it was put in a fixture of some sort. What’s really rare about this is not the penny but the substance. You’re probably looking at 70 year-old chewing gum. LOL. I don’t know what would make it stick to a magnet.

👍 Awesomeness

This thing has a greenish clear base and the purple is opaque.

This one really has some POP. Especially for Monday.

Very possible. Took me a while clean it up. I couldn’t get it out of the cracks. Kinda glad though it looks really cool just like it is.

👍👍

Ok I'm guessing 3,352 marbles. Come on who's next. That’s awesome

Awe man, I was rootin for you too. Sorry man 😢

I’ve heard of a cat eye and a tiger eye. I looked at it for a while before I decided to get the EYE loupe. LOL. Trans green brushed patch with a little lavender. I thought I had something til I seen they were cracks. Pretty cool. Would you say it’s Vitro?

Pretty much the same all the way around. 5/8

Here’s a cool penny. Me and the son have a few steel 1943 Pennies but this one is really different. Anyone have any? I know a little history of them does anyone else? A strong magnetic will pic it up.

Hard to get the best side.

Make sense.

👍

Could just be me, but even when you get up on it at the darkest spot with a strong flash light it looks like a black hole. It is opaque and very dark. It’s like it’s black at the bottom but you can’t see into it. Does that make sense?
