I'm sure something will come to you JeffThank you, Barrett and Jack, I'm thrilled to have it. My other two lambs have names, but I haven't come up with one yet for the Albers.
Might just go with Gidge, for the wood of course.

It looks like you had a fantastic night out Barrett, love your picsWe tried out a new place in Eden Prairie for dinner tonight. Eden Prairie — not to be confused with Eden Valley — might sound familiar if you’ve seen the third season of the Fargo series.
Anyways, this place had an impressive (if somewhat expensive) list of bourbons, as well as a nice selection of beers. I had a “Taylor beer” from Prairie Artisan Ales that I hadn’t tried before called Vape Tricks. I’m a big fan of Prairie. They’re out of Oklahoma, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of their stuff available on draft here in MN before. They make some really interesting stuff, and this sour ale didn’t disappoint. It reminded me a lot of one of my favorite sours, New Belgium’s La Folie, which I haven’t had in a few years.

For dinner I had a burger called The Next Day. Hash browns, bacon, a fried egg, cheese and, in lieu of a regular bun, French toast.

Great-looking pair JJ
There was an old movie where Mel Ferrer played the actor-manager of an extremely minor theater. He had a flat bottle in his inside jacket pocket all the time, and a long straw.beer had been flowing very freely before that - despite the absolutely rip-off prices,
That kind of thing is not uncommon here Jer!There was an old movie where Mel Ferrer played the actor-manager of an extremely minor theater. He had a flat bottle in his inside jacket pocket all the time, and a long straw.
Nickel silver is sometimes called "white brass". The alloy used has an effect, but most of it will get a brassy patina as it ages. If you rub it with a polishing cloth, it'll probably restore the silvery look.Regarding the nickel-silver, i did not thought it could be this color, in fact it's really between gold and silver, i guess it depend on the alloy.
I think it has had a number of names over the years, another is 'German silver'. I always thought it was mainly brass, but apparently it's mainly copper, rather than brassNickel silver is sometimes called "white brass".

Good looking either way, I say.
Thanks for the info TysonBrass is a mix of copper and zinc (with a few trace elements); white brass (German silver, nickel silver, etc) is the same thing but with a higher proportion of zinc. It does not contain nickel or silver. If I recall correctly, brass is usually something like 80/20 copper/zinc, and white brass is more like 65/35.
