My grandson won his 5th grade science fair!!!!!! How does color affect temperature??

I'm in an industry that deals with colour and temperature, so I would love to see his report.

Congratulations to him!

Johnny,
Beautiful version of Amazing Grace and thanks for sharing. One of my friends who's father was a member of the Devil's Brigade during WW2 had a bagpipes version played at his funeral.

I'll post one up shortly.

Regards + HH

Bill

Bill, my father-in-law used to play the pipes at many different events when he was still with us (including The World Pipe Band Competition in Scotland), and though they sounded like a cat getting skinned when it first started up, the sound that comes out of them I find to be quite haunting..........in a good way.

 

[Geobound]

I know that just about everybody on this forum has heard the Detectorist theme song by Johnny Flynn.........

 

[Geobound]

But how of you are familiar with Laura Marling?

Here is just one of her latest songs.

 

[Geobound]

And if you wanted to combine these two artists without any vocal fixing, then give this one a listen.........

 

[bill from lachine]

Folks,

Here's a Chinese good luck token I found metal detecting. The 25 cent coin is for size comparison I'll be sending it along to 2GF's grandson as a keepsake this week.

Regards + HH

A kettle of fun(?) . A pot of goodies.
Scotty/ "the pepper" tending both.

 

[AU24K]

Can I "Multi-Task?"
Yes. Yes, I can.

Laundry, cleaning a new batch of 1500-1600 era Spanish coins, moderating a Facebook site, Adding new tokens to 2 different website data bases,
and cooking more chicken wings, stuffing and green beans for Tristan's and my lunch tomorrow.
Oh, and also searching a few thousand Lincoln cents for pre '82 coppers and other goodies.....

Still, it seems like I should be doing something else also....

Oh, now I remember!

Cleaning my .9mm from going shooting yesterday!
How could I forget that?

Scott

Went shooting and feel proficient now with my .9mm.
Just before it got dark-thirty....
When I say proficient, I mean ACCURATE!
Like within a 2 inch target at 30 yards.

Went for only about an hour after getting a few more ribbon tats.
Think I will stop on those for now and get a Nike Missile next on my left inside forearm....


The picture doesn't do justice to the tats....
I'll take my camera next time and get quality pics...

I still have room for the others....

Does anyone really understand what being a Veteran means?
A Vet understands that life is only about 60 seconds in a fire fight.
A Vet understands how to live.
A Vet understands how to kill.

A Vet Understands what America and Freedom means....
And has promsied to give his life for the freedom of others....


I told my tattoo artist that I like his work, but when I visit again, I'd like to have the colors enhanced, "Make the ribbons 'POP!'"
He said, "I will do that. You are obviously proud, yet humble of your Service. I'm proud to serve you."
I tipped him again, as I always do....

One of the guys in the shop has a little record player....
i took in 3 of my vintage collectible albums to play while I was getting inked and reading a Numismatic periodical.

I took: "The Best of the Band," "Cream's Greatest Hits" and "Creedence Clearwater Revival's Greatest Hits."



Scott

Will you enjoy life tomorrow more than you do today?

Several inches of snow to shovel. More falling.
Shovel the ramp. Then a little more around vehicles.
Shovel part of the back deck and both sets of stairs for the dogs.( One dog is in season ,so gets isolated in lower kennel when out. Goes out alone after switching gates from the fenced rear yard stairs to lower kennel stairs... ..So ,shovel again to each gate and go back out to let her in and switch gates again.)
Shovel ramp out front again. Expand range beyond again.
Shovel more on back deck and clear stairs again to turn dogs out again.

Dishes need doin. But would cut into coffee and snack and computer breaks.
Gotta keep an eye out online for loader tractors I don't really need ,ya know?

A guy posted wanting to know how to get a two stroke to start in the cold ,after having to tarp it and put his heater under it when ice fishing....
So ,I looked elsewhere after everything from plugs to carb to priming were brought up.
Did not get far before wondering if he did not already have a solution.....

Shoveling snow, huh?

Reminds me why I left the North.

I was once the "Maintenance Supervisor" of a 4 story bank Building and a "satellite" bank branch in Kansas.
Back in the 80's.
One winter morning, I arrived at work, while the snow fell heavily.

I was tasked to clear the sidewalks all around the bank building.

Folks, the bank building was every bit of the whole city block.

So, I put on my gloves, donned my ski cap, grabbed a snow shovel and began clearing the sidewalks.
About an hour later, after rounding the third corner of the block, clearing the whole damn sidewalk around the bank,
I found that where I had started was again covered in 2" of snow!
I went inside to find the bank President and said,
"I cleared the first 2" of snow and I'm gonna wait until it quits."
He smiled at me and said,
"I saw you fighting the snow. If people here don't know how to keep from falling and busting their ass, they will fall and bust their ass.
Wait 'till it stops snowing and hit it again, Scott."

I went to my office with a hot cup of cocoa, warmed up, then hit it again when it quit snowing later that morning.

Don't like snow, ice and cold anymore.....
It's OK for kids as an excuse to miss school, but as an adult, I ain't got time for any of it!

I've seen snow on Easter.
Went to Georgia one Easter with a friend ,and his Dad had a volunteer pumpkin about a foot diameter growing alongside his compost pile already......
Needless to say I enjoyed the weather!

You know, I've always been interested in music.
From the first album that I ever owned...



Given to me by a University of Kansas ROTC Student who lived next door to me when I was young.
I then found myself going to the basement of Mallot Hall, to the firing range for the students.
Back in the early 70's....
I took my .22 rifle and was welcomed by the students and Faculty whom Supervised.
Soon, I became an expert.
Not only with my .22 rifle but with all weapons that I was allowed to fire.
----------

I listened to the album day and night and thought to myself that I can play that music as I "air guitared" the notes.

Fast forward a few years later when I saved up enough money to buy my own guitar.

I learned notes, rhythm and tempo. All on my own.
Feeling satisfied of my achievements, and the inferiority of the guitar,
I SMASHED my first guitar, and sought a better instrument.
I have never looked back in regret....

I have smashed a few other guitars for the same reason, but have always cherished and desire just one more Ovation guitar....

The very first song that I taught myself to play....



Perhaps, with this selection that I chose, you can perceive my mien.....
You either support America's Veterans or.....
Poignant today as then....
I grew up in the era of Viet Nam.
I later served with those men.
I know of their stories....
Stories of horror and pain....
That's why I'm there to help....
Their dreams and nightmares are now mine.



Veteran's Court this Tuesday!
Can't wait to see my Friend, John!

Scott
