Everybody. After my quick visit with Deb I think we need to schedule a time when we can all get together for a virtual cocktail together. What say an evening (tomorrow night early) or maybe Saturday afternoon. I used my tablet and it worked fine so high end computers are not required. What say you?
OK! It's hot outside, humid too... Maybe I can wait for summertime!
Cool beans! Are staying with SIL or moving in with son. After all you supported him for at least 18 years so he owes you now. Only kidding but I did tell Tori that she's taking care of Doree and I in our old age.

Don't know if either of these pictures will post. If not I'll shrink 'em and post again. The pics were sent by my brother to his fambly after completion of the restoration work 4 years ago. I don't know if he's gotten any more clocks done since that time... I think I maybe saw another when I was there at his house for Christmas.
The wall clock was made by the Ithaca Clock Company in 1869 and was the 257th clock ever made by the company. At the time the company was only 3 years old and the factory was producing 5 clocks per day. The other clock is a Tiffany clock.. I don't know whether that's a brand name or a style.

This thread probably belongs in the Vets forum, but i posted it here so it will have wider visibility.
I continually notice that there are a lot of ECF 'Veterans' still sporting a 'blue name' when you have earned the 'dark maroon(?)' colored name, via your year+ activity on ECF.
I'm sure many just don't care, but others may not know how to change it, since the process is not automatic.
For those who wish to change it (and didn't know how) here's the steps to change it:
1) Click on "Settings" in the upper right corner.
2) Scroll down to the middle left side where you will find the 'My Settings' area, under the 'My Account' subheading, click 'Permission Groups'.
3) Select 'Identify me as a member of this group' on the ECF Veteran entry.
4) Click 'Update display group'.
5) Enjoy your super snazzy new color!
You've earned the designation as an ECF Veteran, now show the forum your true colors!
Well hey there Unc, I was just thinkin' 'bout ya and that you may appreciate our enthusiasm over my hubby's recent acquisition. He recently ran up on a bargain on a pair of vintage ESS AMT 1A speakers, just had to replace some foam in them. Got them up and running and WOW! We've listened to everything from Metallica to Donna Summer on them and the sound quality is just mind blowing, crankin' em up to damn near concert level and you can pick out every little lick of percussion with absolutely no distortion. Me thinks the neighbors are really gonna hate us now.....![]()
Sure it's 2:45 am, but if I didn't stay up I wouldn't have been able to roast 3 heads of garlic. Yum that's good. I spread it warm from the oven on thin slices of French bread. Now I can go to sleep. (Yes, there's some left but I ate about 10 cloves.)
Can drop box be used for posting pics to the threads.
No vampires or werewolves for Bb tonight. Maybe not for the next week! But I must agree, fresh warm roasted garlic on bread is YUMMY!Sure it's 2:45 am, but if I didn't stay up I wouldn't have been able to roast 3 heads of garlic. Yum that's good.
