Yesterday the forecast was for sun today-now it's actually raining till noon-hard to plan a day's work that involves dry skies lately.
It would be easier if these forecasters stopped looking in the damn crystal ball and giving us the forecast.
Probably easier just to look out the window and then plan the day.

Good morning, ARC, Antiquarian, Bart, Bill, Pepperj, releventchair, rook,Rusty. It's going to get up to 80 today. I already warned the boss. I ain't cooking. I am hunting.

Was it better than fried water?

LOL! Yes. I ate my half. He only took a bite. If we were invited over for dinner, and were served that, I would/could eat it . He would take a couple bites and then claim he was full. I have 2 more to cook. I'm going to try Pepper's and then see what else I can come up with. But, not until after Thanksgiving. I don't want to eat any more of my decorations.

Bridge over Troubled Water.

I did the trade for the silver signet ring and the Hubley motorcycle yesterday. I also picked up the silver ring at the jeweler that I found a couple of weeks ago.
A fellow detectorist in British Columbia mailed me the garnet and I had the jewellery mount it.

I also picked up the brass candlestick finger loop that I found in August, I had my initial etched onto the face.
I hand-filed, sanded and tumbled it for 4 days it before taking it to the jeweler.

Here are pics of the finished product, I've posted all of the before and after pics here... http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/everything-else/622622-gifs-pics-more-493.html#post6610213

Really nice, Antiquarian.

Good afternoon WIF.

Mornin all.

Nice bling Dave!
The candle stick ring might top them all.
Former utilitarian item fell to ruin , now repurposed and still in use...
Reminds me of kettle material being repurposed.
And/or caches of metal bits found that were banked for repurpose.
Congrats on all the rings though.

It is torture sitting behind a desk when it is this beautiful outside!

Yikes!
I deleted my earlier post. Was supposed to be The phantom piper , not a Biden support add .
(I don't support Biden , for starters....)

Let's try it again...

Good afternoon RC.

 

[ANTIQUARIAN]

Dave,

Great restore work on the rings!

Thanks very much Bill.

The final results are very nice Dave Congrats.
Gee if I was still in the GTA I could of hooked you up with a plating company that would silver plated the brass one for you.

That's an interesting idea Jim, I last used a family-owned plating company in Scarborough about 15 years ago. I doubt if they're even still in business.
There was a company down on Carlaw, south of Eastern Ave, Mayfair Plating. I used them for polishing when I was restoring early lighting & oil lamps back in the 90s.

Really nice, Antiquarian.

Thank you WD.

I sat in on drums in a pinch during a rehearsal.
To say I was lousy is an understatement.
