My grandson thinks so, too. He works with goats in the 4-H. He's even won a few show ribbons.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Great picture. A professional photographer couldn’t do any better, IMHO.
One inch long is a lot smaller than the dragonflies I’ve seen around here so I’m guessing that is a damselfly.

This is one of our local casinos. It got robbed on Tuesday again, as it has been before several times. Why, because its EASY DOUGH. They have also a while back got burned by someone passing a counterfeit $100 bill. Why, because its EASY DOUGH. lol

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Here's a couple of things I picked up in the last couple weeks on the trip back to Wyoming.
The Heller hammer I picked up at a secondhand store in Burns Oregon. Burns is kind of out in the middle cattle country and an open range.
Heller is a brand of tools made for farriers. I have two or three Heller farriers rasps and one Heller hoof knife. Obviously this old hammer has been used, and not always on the face or on the ball of the hammer!
Mastercraft I believe was a brand name of the Coast-To-Coast Stores. Think this came out of a pawn shop in Cheyenne Wyoming.
From the amount use on this thing I wouldn't be surprised that it'd been through a couple generations of ranchers and cowboys.
I've used these things my fair share too, but thankfully I never had to use one that was that worn out! But it still works!
Checking online they run from about $30 on up, some North to $60, depending on brand and design. There is nothing like having the right tool for the job and these are the right tool, just old and beat up!
They are old and ugly but they they work!
I got to out of those three so I guess I'm not too bad yet! I got the old and the ugly part okay, just that work part think I'm allergic to...

I hope you didn't pay a lot for those fence pliers. You can buy a brand new Diamond Fence Tool for $15.49.

I think I paid $5 or so. You can get some imports for $15-$20 on amazon but but then you have to add shipping.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2020 1:03 pm I hope you didn't pay a lot for those fence pliers. You can buy a brand new Diamond Fence Tool for $15.49.
I like the fact this one is well-used and made in the US. Diamond fence tools are now imported from China.
Servistar ( True Value Hardware) bought Coast to Coast stores in 1990.
For me getting a nice old tool from a company no longer in business is like getting an old knife. I much prefer the older ones. That's just me, your mileage may vary.

Jeremy Wade with one of his monsters.
I watch the River Monsters show on our streaming service. Jeremy Wade has caught some monsters. Unbelievable what a set of teeth some species of fish possess.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
My dad’s old Coleman lantern, still running like a champ. Just put a new mantle on it. Date code stamped on bottom of the nickel-plated fount is August 1948, Model 242C. I bet it has hundreds if not thousands of hours on it. Dad made a box to store and transport it. The original owners manual and all the paperwork is still in it.

After double clicking on the picture, I have one question ...
Why does the box have an antennae ??

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Ken - has the top of that lantern ever been repainted? If not, that is amazing! Most of the old camping lanterns I have seen look like they have been mauled by bears or fished out of the bottom of a lake!

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Never been repainted. I credit the remarkable condition to the wooden box my dad made for it. The box has 1/2 inch thick felt padding inside it (held in place by glue and duct tape ). As long as I can remember when not in use the lantern was always stored and transported in that box. Dad was a shop teacher. His motto was always “If you’re gonna do something, do it right!”TwoFlowersLuggage wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 3:47 pm Ken - has the top of that lantern ever been repainted? If not, that is amazing!
