My Daughter the Veterinarian worked in Roswell for a while...

Just remember Frosty that doubling down is a BAD THING!!!!!!!!!!!; I'd be happy to be rid of my TBT......

Shall I make you an appointment in Roswell?

My wife was going to take me around the scrapyard today then decided the winds were too high. Arghhhhhhhhh!

Funny the mountain just west of Socorro NM has a Perlite mine in it. A friend picked up 3 TRAINCAR loads of perlite when there was a batch damaged by a rainstorm...

"Blacksmith's Mail" tends to work very well. I once hauled a pallet of industrial shop lights from Quad-State for a smith near Phoenix AZ. Put up at their place for a couple of Estrella Wars later. One of my minions picked up a 165# HB on their way rom CA for me. Tried to hide it in my shop; like I wouldn't notice a spare anvil....

Reading a recent copy of ARCHEOLOGY magazine where they were using a hand held spec to identify cave/wall paintings paints. Must have been a great grant!

I have found that there is a lot more stuff I need friends to own rather than myself...

Does it have a caplet indentation in the base?

The ones shown in the Egyptian metalworking book look like tweezers.
