  1. Hobby-crafted arrowhead (left) beside genuine arrowhead (right). Hobby-crafted arrowheads are often meant to show the creator’s skill, making the objects precise. Old arrowheads, though, are often dull. (Photo by Allyson White.) I’m not saying it isn’t authentic but there are lots of flint knappers out there doing really fine work. I would have an expert verify it. It’s outstanding in any event.
  2. Nice answer, Seattle.
  3. I'm pretty sure I played hand-me-downs until 1962 or so. I don't remember any of the names or if they even had any. I started catching in 1967 and was given a Yogi Berra catchers mitt. I'm wondering if I could have even purchased a Clemente or Mays glove in Wichita in 1962. I do remember that Mantle, ugh, was about all you could find at the time.
  4. Clemente and Mays were my favorite ballplayers. This one stung at the time.
  5. There will be a cooking show broadcast from that kitchen any minute now.
  6. This is correct. From Mulvane, the big casino south of Wichita on the turnpike. He liked Kentucky Deluxe. He really liked KD.
  7. I remember when we had the PF thread on the shag. You couldn't criticize RW without summoning his choir. That choir got a lot smaller with the move to Surly and now they are silent. Man has proven himself to be a complete cunt.
  8. Getting old rocks, eh? I’ll be 73 next week and this is how I spent the weekend with my wife. We bought a limestone rock that was pulled out of a local Catholic cemetery. It had been one of many used to line roadways there. I needed a stone to mount my Mother’s sundial. We had it on a wooden fence post for years but it had decayed. Yesterday I dug a hole and we used a rock bar to jimmy it off of my trailer and set it in that hole. We used pipe clamps to grab it and pivot it in the hole to point north and south. This morning , we mixed 4 bags of quikrete and secured it. We are both pretty tired tonight but next weekend we are going to build a low retaining wall around it and mulch it all to match the Peony bed behind it. At times it sucks getting old but not always. ETA: I’m not sure how I posted the top pic twice. I must be getting old.
  9. There are several schools that run those systems but Conway has been single wing for years with a lot of success. They ended our State dreams several times over the years.
  10. Do your nephews play for or against Conway Springs?
  11. I also use arose for Wordle but I use Unity and then arose for quordle and Octordle. I can't explain why I don't use unity for Wordle, maybe it already hit once.
  12. In fairness, it was built to transport 787 parts, so I can see how he got there.

  15. Thanks for the reminder. The last couple years of my Dad's life he was wheelchair bound after a series of strokes. Physically he was impaired but his mind was still pretty sharp. His last Thanksgiving, we had him out to our house for dinner and wheeled him to the head of the table, his rightful place. Mid-meal he had a puzzled look on his face and I asked if he was OK. He deadpanned that he was pissing his depends so that I wouldn't have to disrupt my meal to take him to the bathroom. Pretty thoughtful of him.

  17. Damn, best of luck to you, Bruin. I'm sending any mojo I can find to you.
  18. Bump from the past. I have a quarter mile gravel lane from the road to my house that I have been maintaining with roundup for many years. I went to my local farm store to get another quart of concentrate and found that they don't carry Roundup in amounts less than 5 gallons. They do carry several products with the active ingredient being Gluphosinate-ammonium. This shit is a sudden killer of goose grass and Mexican sandburrs that try to push in from the edges of my drive and any of the weeds that inhabit the center stripe. According to the net it is safer than roundup and doesn't cause cancer in lab rats. I don't know if I believe that but within 36 hours of application there is visible damage being done the any plant that gets sprayed. This won't help any of you that are trying non-chemical solutions, I don't use it on my lawn or anywhere near my rose bushes and flower beds. The brand I used is Kleen-Up. https://bonide.com/product/kleenup-he-high-efficiency-weed-grass-killer-conc/
  19. Easy peasy with the start word I always use. Wordle 1,509 2/6* 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  20. And Falter faltered, just like you thought. Actually, I knew it was a longshot but I wanted it to work.
  21. They should check your ticker again after you ate that.
  22. Between Carter Jensen, Blake Mitchell and Ramon Ramirez, the Royals have plenty of good catching coming up. Luka Tresh is still at Omaha as well but I think he has lost a bit of shine. Fermin is on the wrong side of 30 and really isn't a great hitter. I think there is some recency bias with him. I do like his defense and I guess the Padres do too.
  23. KC pitching coach Sweeney coached Falter in MiLB. He must see something that he thinks he can fix. I dunno.
  24. It fills a need for the Royals with all of the SP injuries. Carter Jensen is playing very well at Omaha and has more upside than Fermin. I'll miss Freddy but this seems like a good trade to me.
  25. 9 pitcher shutout. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that before. Ultimate bullpen game.
