    COMPLETE COLONIAL SHOE BUCKLE & KNEE BUCKLE FRAME

    Todd & me got out to 2 new cellar holes,it was a Hot & Humid one today! the mosquito's were on a feeding frenzy we had at least 20 on us biting at all times,I think we both lost a pint of blood today.never seen em this bad before.at 2 pm we said screw this,couldn't even concentrate they were that bad.we never quit this easily and today they won
    so,remember last week i got turned around? well old i never get turned around Todd got turned around :hysterical: i can here him screamin way in the distance...DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where are you! rofl
    we both did pretty good though despite a half day.
    a few buttons,one being a tombac.a couple knox obs drew watch your back!
    a odd knee buckle frame with the pin set on a diagonal pattern(never seen this before)
    and a pretty nice complete colonial shoe buckle.
    stay cool out there people and remember off and repel don't work in these northeast woods trust that.i'm callin them again to break stones! deep woods off my bleep! >:#

    Beautiful buckle, I'd give a little blood for that one next time eat a lot of garlic and when you sweat the bloodsuckers will think twice...unless they're Italian skeeters! lol

    It's so easy to get lost in our woods at this time of year. In addition to the crawling and flying blood suckers, the ferns are having a bumper year. That buckle makes it all fine ...and I don't ever remember having a double-knob day lol You could display all your ox knobs on a stick, call it a Shish-ka-knob. lol

    Instructions
    1


    Pour 1 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol into a clean bowl.

    2


    Add 2 tablespoons of an essential oil. You can choose from a variety of oils, including lemon grass, eucalyptus, castor oil, peppermint, tea tree oil, lavender and cedar.



    3


    Pour the mixture into the bottle and place the lid on the bottle tightly. Shake the mosquito repellent well to thoroughly mix the rubbing alcohol and the essential oil together.

    4


    Shake the bottle well before each use, according to Betterbudgeting.com. Apply the mosquito repellent to your skin sparingly. After the initial application, you can re-apply every few hours as needed.
