    Celtic Ink

    Recently got my "Harlow Flyer" type Celtic quarter stater that I found in England, back in 2019, immortalized in ink! Both sides. Obverse side is on the top of my left forearm, and the reverse side is directly opposite, on the inside of my left forearm.

    GW CW Store Card

    With all of the rain we've had this spring half of the fields are planted and half aren't. Good for me, bad for the farmer, my new permission still isn't planted. So I went out today for about 5 hrs. Got a '44 wheatie at the first site I hit. After about 3 1/2 hrs I went across the road to...

    Milco Style!

    Well I pasted this site about 2 1/2 months ago. It totally reminded me of one of the sites Darren (Milco) is usually hunting. I figured I wouldn't be back in the area before they finished the project. So I kinda wrote it off as a missed opportunity. I drove by it again a few weeks ago and...

    Has Anyone ever repaired or replaced the plug on a set of headphones?

    Maybe I'm just way to rough on my stuff. :dontknow: I truly make a honest effort to protect the plug and cord on my headphones. But it seems I'm going through a pair of headphones every year or two! It's always the cord right at the plug that seems to be going bad on them. I might have good...
