you better petition the king, just beware of an invite to the tower of London 
It’s gotten to be the same here. Even when I took all those coins in, which was almost 15 years ago, I had to call several branches of the local/regional bank we used at the time to find one that had a coin counting machine in back, but at least they did it at no charge for account holders. Now I think you pretty much have to roll them yourself before you can take them anywhere. (We also have the supermarket machines, but the fees are practically highway robbery.)
I’d imagine so. I’m sure we’ll eventually move away from the $1 bill here, but I doubt it’ll be any time soon.
Happy birthday, Steve!
Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone had a great weekend, and that you're up and ready for another week. I have a bit more work on this week, but hopefully not too muchThe weather has been unseasonably cool, and a bit wet recently, so I'm hoping that is going to improve. I'm starting my week off with L'Ariete

Consider it good karma for your work with your church Tyson.Double lamb day today. Dawn and I hosted coffee hour at church this morning - the @ashwinearl lamb got pressed into service opening up some packages of chips and charcuterie. (This was an unexpected gift from Generous BobRufus1949 - one of the very best Guardians.)
Now we're relaxing in the garden with dogs and books and beverages. I started an infinity bottle about a year ago and this is my first time tapping it. Since I have tend to have single malt scotches, Irishes, ryes, and bourbons around as candidates to add to this bottle it's an...interesting blend. The nose is all Laphroaig, but the taste is more bourbony.
A day late, but hope you had a good one Steve.

Those are some killer hours. Hopefully there can be a few more hands added in sooner than later.Sorry for my lack of participation, Guardians. I should be put in jail for my transgressions against my pals. We are at less than 50% manpower and with the federal hiring freeze we are not able to backfill our positions. Not complaining because I love my job but I am working about 70-72 hours a week. Paychecks are good but family time has suffered.
Each one of these lines represent a unit in the field. Red means they are shooting actual bullets. Anywhere from 9mm to dropping 500lb bombs. It’s been hectic
Been carrying a lamb everyday like always and today I got the Charlie lamb. Please excuse my spotty participation. If I’ve missed life altering moments for you all I truly apologize.

Good morning Guardians, I'm sorry I didn't get on here again yesterday. I went out early, called in at Charlie's, got a few necessities from, and then got a bundle of work, which kept me busy until midnight. Got a wee bit more this morning. I hope everyone's week got off to a good start, is it only Tuesday?!
