THE Random Chat Thread - AKA "The RCT" - No shirt or shoes required - Open 24 / 7

Mornin all.

Still melting snow here.
It has cooled down so it's slowing.
Roughly half the ground is exposed here in the oaks.
Out in the open it's really scarce snow.

A few small flocks of Canadian geese been heading North. Down the road as in most springs they are setting up in a marshy pasture. Multiples yesterday starting to pair off.
Pretty soon they'll be claiming muskrat houses to nest on.
Maybe about the time spring peepers start trilling...Depending on the weather , a couple more weeks?

Melt is happening still, we had a low of 9C or 48F so it reduced the levels. Still white, ATV's are still bring the ice fishers out on the bay near the other end so it's still pretty of melt/thawing to happen yet.

Though the circles under the trees are widening and the temps are lovely. Max was laying in the sun and was very content soaking up the rays of sunshine.

Chicken seem to enjoy it more also, out and about, though the outside area is still fully covered in a blanket of snow-gate still needs to melt a good 6 inches before I could open it.

Went to start the ATV......click/click then I remembered the pull start, forgot the first one in the spring one should be careful-full on rip out of the finger burn from the recoil.
It started right up on the second pull, which made life good. Went for a sloppy run to charge the battery up.

Chickens started to really lay in the boxes-then this morning it was where every they were at the moment the urge hit. Must be Easter egg hunting tricks to see if I can find them. Seriously on the top of the feed bag-really-under the layer box-beside the water dish-lazy, and right in front of the door-what's with that-you want an omelette?

Installing the new toilet in my bathroom today-should be an interesting project......time will tell with the first flush if all goes according to plan........Just water....not that brave.:laughing7:
 

I also went to the bank today to buy more rolls of nickels to search. The last time I was in there, she said "Come back during the middle of the week, we always get new nickels in at that time". I took "new nickels" as new rolls of circulated nickels that might have a goodie or two tucked inside. Nope. Instead today I ended up getting $20 worth of uncirculated 2020 D nickels. Not what I wanted at all. So now I don't know whether to sell them in uncirculated rolls, feed them to the local coinstar or what. ??? Before you ask, no, I don't check the rolls I'm getting, I just hand her the cash, and she hands me the rolls, and I politely accept them without even looking.

All are in uncirculated mint condition and would grade nice, but I don't know if I want to go through the trouble of selling the rolls. Man, I was excited too. The last roll I had, I found one from 1940! Common, but cool.
 

Rrrrr ight ya scallywags... off to be horizontal.

Off... like licking an ice cream cone on a roller coaster.

G night... c u n am.

Bart,

Yep Gary's managed some serious goodies over the years and a great guy. Had breakfast with him a few years ago at a Minelab sponsored hunt in Toronto. He was there as well as Beau Ouimette (Aquachigger) and Nugget Noggin'.

Here's a link for some of his finds.

Beau talks a lot, but that's kinda what I like about him. He's a great guy too.

Yeah he's one of the two detectorists I watch regularly on youtube. His videos are fun to watch but he uploads so often I can't keep up!
 

Well the forecast was for some wind. We're going to say that the gusts are a tad higher the 45 clicks. I said that to the Mrs and got a curt "F" That was more like 145!
Just had to go get the sliding screen door, blew off, dock box blew over and slammed into the BBQ.
Large dead limb hit the window. I think they might of got mixed up between MPH and KPH.

Hoping you are all safe and your critters and damage is minimal.

You may have already bought one but looking through one box of coins I found a 35 buff. I’m going to look in another box or two for another one. If I only have the one I wouldn’t sell it. I’ll at least get you a pic where you can grade it.you might have wanted one in mint condition.
