I *still* haven't tested those 8 glasses for suspected thorium but I will, soon, I hope.
But now I'll have to consult
this for an aesthetic match and ID the manufacturer if possible.
Soon as the Th is verified I'll probably send them out in sets of two or any similarly reasonable request. 🙂

Last month a longtime friend from my hometown found this at a yardsale.
It looks pretty detailed, the pricing suggestions may be out of date but it is good to see a guide approaching the glassware from they view of design.
He said they offered $3 and so he just passed it along to me. :D

Ah, happy looking dog.
Makes my day.
Cole was adopted by a distant relative but they drive for a living and couldn't really keep after him.
So he has lived here for a while now
and got awfully attached to me.
Unlike the little pups though it's some
work to keep him smelling okay. 😬
Good dog.

I need to make sure I have a decent camera charged and packed just in case we happen across anything worth sharing.

No dogs at the Naval Aviation or the Airforce Armaments museum near Eglin, afaik.
I may not have time to make both but in any case the puppy will have to stay home. :/
She travels happily but if we arrive somewhere very busy it overwhelms her a bit.
She finds Lake Eola a bit much, for example. :)

I will, haven't been to North FL in ages.
I'll have to pack a detector because any large collection of aircraft and missiles is bound to turn up a few radioactive parts.
I like using old detectors but they might be too conspicuous - always end up spending half the time answering questions. :)

First road trip in the '08 Escape starts tomorrow.
I'd really slacked off on all travels so I'm looking forward to this one.
There are a couple of, I'm told, very impressive aviation and armaments museums in North Florida. :)
If my old car performs well and I think it will, out of state next. :D

Waking up to what I can only assume is some fresh horror

They just pulled an old car out of this lake. :/

It's been surprising, the last few days on any stop by a grocer - holiday busy.

That backflow preventer, essential for public health, was never planned for insulation or heating and almost exclusively above ground for ease of maintenance.

I know it's all expensive and a minor freeze broke a whole lot more than we hoped. 😬

I'd be pretty stuck, too, if I had to consider the money at some granularity.

For a second you think he's gonna say "show love to those who are showing us hate" when the message is actually "show love to our people" and that feels like a significant vibe shirt over the last 10 years
