Neat little hippy era ring....so here's a tune for you.

Mike,

It does have a victorian look to it and the sterling stamp usually indicates older items as opposed to 925.

My wife and I are rather humble. Vanity is a non issue around here.
With that, for everything that the Finnish viking is, she's my hero!
She wasn't happy with the pic I posted.
She was annoyed at the moment lol.
Here's a better pic this morning.
Lucky?
Nah, blessed.

Weeee!
Heck yeah, that carpenter ant filled oak tree should flatten our home!
On a climate change note.. In my short time on this rock, I've never seen 60mph+ winds without a thunderstorm attached.
This is almost tropical storm like.

HIGH WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM THIS MORNING TO
4 AM EST MONDAY...

HAZARDOUS WEATHER...

* Sustained winds from the west at 30 to 40 mph with gusts of 50
to 60 mph begins this morning and persists through late
tonight.

evening.

I hear that!!! Living in an RV trying to rebuild...feels like I'm going over every ten minutes or so. On a good note, I've got my sea legs in Missouri!!...lol

No problem Buddy!

"Expert" is good... From day to day I have more and more the feeling that I know absolutely nothing!

There are no real experts in this world! THIS I know for sure

 

[Tom_Restorer]

Gosh... just read some of my texts again and there are so many typos in today... sorry guys!

Next time I start posting AFTER two gallons of coffee and when my "good eye" starts working!!

 

[bill from lachine]

Tom,

Funny you say that.....I remember telling a younger coworker that when I was a teenager and young adult I thought I knew everything.....

Then about age 40 or so I became much more humble I know just enough about a lot of things to be dangerous mostly to myself....

 

[bill from lachine]

Folks,

Speaking of Woodstock.

Some Bruce Lee/Asian wisdom at 2:40

My own wisdom: when the glass (Mind) is full, put a large bowl under it and nothing get lost if new wisdom comes in

 

[Tom_Restorer]

Nothing to add at this one. Just be water!!

Just found a pic of one of my drawings from about 20 years or so ago. I got the centerfold of my college art book. I wish I had a pic of the whole thing. The original piece was 3.5'W x 2.5'H...it took about 8 months in my spare time and about 20 or so ink pens...lol

 

[lairmo]

I built this piece to go over my oven to cover the exhaust hood...a LOT of hand hammering galvanized flashing sheets...lol

 

[Blak bart]

Wow that's nice work man. !!

 

[Tom_Restorer]

The drawing and the chest looks great!

 

[Blak bart]

Both posts.....I always envied you guys that can draw like that.
