Still don't believe they could balance it there because of the heavy back end where the magnet is. It would be very lopsided.

Supposedly...

Couple of interesting unopened bottles I dug out from deep storage today while cleaning out junk. Dunno whether to drain them or put them up somewhere again. Not a gin man and the wine is past its prime but still has a kick.

These came from my Dad's estate. This one is from a 1963 Florida trip. Mom and Dad bought two of them in a box. I have had some from the other one, and it has turned very syrupy but still drinkable. ABV is 20%. Just the old label on eBay is $7.49.



This one is a 1970s bottle of gin with the paper State of Illinois tax seal still intact. I think it's funny that it says "In the Ancient Bottle" in the blue strip at bottom on the front. I have seen just the empty bottle without labels for $59.

Selling them may be worth the effort -- if nothing else, finding out how much someone will pay for either is interesting.

Prices are all over the place. They'll probably end up at the back of my liquor cabinet and pass on from MY estate. I will say, that Gordon's Gin held up well. It is still clear as ever. Turns out the gin bottle is from 1982-85, according to the tax strip. Amazing what you can find out online.

Not sure what would be more fun - drinking them, or seeing what you could get for 'em.

The gin will be fine. I'd sell that.

But I'm not brave enough to try the Dry Orange ... or is the proper word "crazy"?

Kitchen backsplash tiles. The saffron yellow goes next to the countertop, then the distressed cotton white above that. Due to arrive tomorrow. Some assembly required.

I sold a 12 oz.box od Bell's stuffing mix on Ebay just before Thanksgiving for $34.75. It was in short supply this year.

I'll take a pair, please.

Take a good look ayt the photo. The speaker is said to be 60 inches in diameter. That's 5 feet. Now look at the man in the rear of the photo. The speaker is much taller than he is. Quite a shrimp to be muscling around 1800 lopsided, unbalanced lbs.

You're behind... Scroll back a ways to see my earlier post. Unless you just want to argue. In that case, BRING IT! The two men are OBVIOUSLY height-challenged!

I worked for KLH as an audio engineer designer back in the 70's. Then for Klipsch. About a year each. I could not stand the cold in Mass. Moved to Hope and got a raise. Then to Houston and started my own company with a friend. We designed some speakers, but that quickly morphed into an Audio company that custom modified high-end components: McIntosh. Mark Levinson, etc. We would take a good design and make it better.

My neighbor found these tracks behind his house. I suspect they're bear, but where are the toes? The boot in the picture is a size 10 1/2 for reference. Any ideas???

That's interesting, Brian! Here's a confirmed bear track in snow sort of like yours. I'd say you're correct.

Looks like the front pad of a bear. The snow can make them kinda indistinct but I think I can see toes in there.

The track @jswordy shows is a rear foot. They are longer and show a heel. Like a persons
