Morning OFC, Happy New Year. Back in NJ, they used bottles as land fill along the banks of the Delaware River. We would find them all the time when digging for worms when we went fishing. The blue cobalt bottles were the most common.

Happy New Year. Any questions, feel free to ask. Someone will answer.

[Rosebud]

Happy new year you guys!

 

[lyfespan]

Wish I'd been with ya and could out run ya to it! That's SWEET!

I had to Rock Paper Scissors the ex for it, but she knows I'll use it so I won.

Lyfespan,, thts rally cool awesome

There was so much Kool stuff, we are going to make a weekend vacation just to see more, we only made it thru 1 antique mall, outta 15.

:stoned: How weird I posted on this post about that cool joint holder and the only thing that posted was the stoned character. That thing is cool and would be nice sitting on the mantle. Happy New Year all you old farts.

I thought it was an awesome lil souvenir, and with purpose I had to have it

lyfe,
Wow, that`s the coolest thingy I`ve seen in a long time.

I'm always finding thing like that, so if ya got any requests, I'll try and find it.

I use to have a friend . He would go digging in old dumps. Old farms did not go to a dump, they made their own. They are full of old bottles for free. its like digging for gold. All the organics are long gone. He had a fine collection.

HAPPY NEW YEAR OFC And all the MP nation :vap_bong__emoticon: It's going to be a good year

Oh man I love estate hunting, hidden treasure everywhere, I once found a roll of liberty head dimes(1890-1901) on a property behind a built in dresser, it was so Kool. 1100 dollars in dimes, one was worth 400 bux.

As a young man, I did most of my shooting on old farm land. When I think of the thousands of dollars worth of antique bottles that met their demise via a long rifle launched by me, I can see why the values have gone up! At the time, it was old trash and a target of opportunity.

Hahaha you shot a fortune I bet. I found a bottle I had to have, it's an amber bottle with Mary J medicine embossed in the glass, some rso will definitely be filling that bottle again.

Morning, Old Farts. Lyfespan got me thinking about how once discarded things are now sought after stuff.
Back when I was a young man, I went to a gun show in Lapeer. It was a small show at the armory with a couple of dozen dealers. One table immediately struck my eye. The guy had two 1900 American Eagle, dish toggled Lugers, one in a beautifully fitted walnut case with accessories, and the other in a cardboard box. The price on the cased one was a grand even, and the one in the box was $1200. I told the guy he had the prices mixed up. He assured me that they were priced right. I asked him, "Why is the one in the cardboard box worth more?". He smiled and said, "How many people do you know that will throw away a walnut presentation case?"

Didn't leave with either one (damn it!), as they were beyond the reasonable price range for a freshly married young fella with apprentice wages and a house payment to handle. I did walk out with a brand new, in the box Colt SP1 AR15 with all the fixings for $265. Shows you how long ago THAT was!

If only I could have seen the future, I'd have built a pole barn and bought every drivable '55-57 Chevy listed in the paper. When I first started driving, you could buy a running '57 in decent shape for six bills. Check out the restored prices on 'em!

The future's always fuzzy, but hindsight is 20/20........

I'm starting to watch what trending as far as decorating and design, and stocking up. I wish I had done this the last time around, junk sells for a great price in SoCal, and being able to refurbish said junk helps. Lighting is a good place to make a killing.

 

[AluminumMonster]

Howdy folks! Thank goodness the holidays are over!

 

[Keef]

Hope all survived the holidays !-- it was a close thing !-- Anybody seen my mind ? Got these super seed up !-- planted 6 of The T.E. and 3 of the free Phantom Cookies -- I lost one T.E. due to my clumbsiness !- the rest are doing well -- already got 2 T.E. and 2 P.C. sprouts in aero -- pretty sure I got this ! Still running 2 Widow lines in the S.O.G. rotation just can't seem to turn loose either one !

 

[giggy]

morning ofc, WAKE AND BAKE. i'm back online as of last night. my dsl box got knocked off the counter and it busted, must have gotten something inside of it cause i had to order another. lets get the day started. peace

 

[bozzo420]

good morning OFC. yooper, have you started any new plants yet? I can't wait to get my beans in the ground. Hippie how about you?
I'm golfing tomorrow morning. I bought myself a Christmas present. It's called a golf buddy. It's about 1 inch square and is a gps devise. it recognizes the course and hole. You push the button and she talks to you telling you how far it is to the center of the hole. neat stuff. I love it.

Hope it works for ya! I don't dare go to the PRK, and Nevada is out, too.

Bozzo, everyone at the ranch except me is sick. Wife looks like death on a cracker, kids doing a little better, and mom's dementia has gone full blown. That, coupled with the fact that I'm going through a lazy streak, has held me back from starting any seeds. I'm hoping to get an energy burst next week and clean out the grow rooms and get busy. Time is flying. Hope to get some seed stock growing as well as a mother for the spring outdoor grow clones. Got a snow bird buddy coming back that I owe a few to.

I always though a golf course was a perfectly good waste of a rifle range!

Morning OFC. wake n bake...coffee is ready, now so am I.

 

[Rosebud]

Coffee and some I Cookies going on here on this chilly 17 degree morn. Enjoy you old farts.

Good morning weed OFC. Our cold snap is over but the rain is back. I took a little of the RSO last night and mixed it with a little bud and smoked it. Now that was nice. Hopefully I can remember to do that again. :rofl: Hope the holidays weren't to tough on all of you. Love this time of year but I'm glad it's done for the year. Happy Days
