I like your sig line.
A few weeks ago, @meako posted a video here of himself, saying he would give a prize to the first one who guessed whom he was imitating. I watched the video, and immediately said "Ali." I was right, because Jon requested my mailing address. I had forgotten all about it, but received this in the mail a couple of days ago:
A handmade frame from recycled Australian hardwood, with a "mystery 'fire' photo"! Jon said I could put whatever picture I wanted in the frame, but he asked if I could guess what the photo was of. I am baffled. I did guess a close-up of a gang-gang cockatoo, because of the colors, but it is probably wrong. What could it be?
Anyway, I thank you for the prize, Jon, and will probably keep the mystery photo in the frame.
Vince, might it be a continuation of the boxing theme represented in @meako's Ali video? If so, I vote for the inimitable Don King running around with his hair on fire!A few weeks ago, @meako posted a video here of himself, saying he would give a prize to the first one who guessed whom he was imitating.

Just watch out that meako doesn't send you something large in the International Post with conspicuous breathing holes...it could be one of those huge snakes he likes to bond with And it will be likely hungry
Maybe I should hit an antique mall myself this week. Or maybe I'll wait till I don't have to wear a mask. Nice finds.
Half price day. This Hong Kong cleaver might even be worth the whole $2.
An antique mall:
Strange pricing: $3 for the Case, $10 for the Colonial, $5 for the unmarked trapezoidal puukko, $10 for the black Solingen, and $18 for the all-metal Kutmaster.
Highly recommended.Or maybe I'll wait till I don't have to wear a mask.
trapezoidal puukko,
Thanks.The exact word is " rhomboidal cross section". Those puukkot are excellent wood carvers when it comes to make concave cuts. Looks like it's an interesting knife.
Great deal on those finds. Congrats.

My daughter texted me yesterday PM. Dashboard temperature display in Albuquerque, NM.
I should have taken a picture of mine yesterday at 109 degrees. Just too dang hot!!!

Uh oh...I just noticed it appears she was taking a picture and maybe texting while driving
I'm going to have to talk with my daughter. I just noticed it appears she was taking a picture and maybe texting while driving, although she was going pretty slow.
