IS ol' Bessie a Louisville slugger (ash) or an aluminum bat? If U were to get back to your "roots'

U could take a Brit cricket bat and inlay shards of obsidian: carefully knapped to form the Aztec weapon known as a maquihuitl. An old gent from a gun show still makes beautiful obsidian blades with bone handles lashed with rawhide that I've acquired over the years-razor sharp! I got a few blanks of CA volcanic obsidian for trying my own knapping; Talk about wielding Exquilibur here..in defense of the realm!

What does that have to do with Scotland?

I would think a gold sword would be even more important.

Rare find of Bronze Age treasures in Scotland contains metals not known to exist there naturally

Earlier this month on the eastern coast of Scotland, the Council of Angus, Carnoustie was clearing land to build two soccer fields and uncovered pits and post-holes that were signs of ancient buildings. Upon further digging, archaeologists noticed a slight glimmer of gold. To reveal the artifacts in controlled conditions, a 176-pound block of soil around the find was removed and taken to the archaeology firm, GUARD’s, laboratory.

After a week of careful cleaning and dusting away the dirt, a bronze spearhead adorned with gold was uncovered.

Decorator is well into the task but is having the weekend off so SWMBO is a little peeved.

STEED · 04-07-17, 04:53 PM

Having a nice rest after standing in for my fellow worker and having a real late one on Thursday.

I'm a warehouse logistics operator in training, I'll have my final exam in 4 weeks. But I don't feel very confident about passing.

Good luck with that. Been there and got the t-shirt

These days I find it much easier to pay someone to take on the trouble

STEED · 04-11-17, 01:27 PM

Well there is no getting away from it that time of year will start again tomorrow, grass cutting season. I hate doing the first cut it takes so so long.

Fubar2Niner · 04-11-17, 02:38 PM

Just got in from work, popped a can of Magners, thrown some of those bloody awful oven chips in the recommended heating device. Set timer for 25 (guarantee they will take 45). Shoes off slipper on, chased dog round the lounge for the other one for ten minutes ! I'm knackered, dogs knackered. Hurry up bloody chips!!!!!

STEED · 04-12-17, 07:46 AM

First grass cut of the year is now done and I can now relax this afternoon.

Catfish · 04-12-17, 08:18 AM

Kitchen installed yesterday, still a bit to do but works, and looks good.
To be honest, anything would look better after what we had before

STEED · 04-12-17, 08:45 AM

Off to the supermarket to buy a couple bottles of white beer.

Looks odd, smells odd but the taste is great.

Fubar2Niner · 04-12-17, 12:35 PM

Just got home, keeping shoes on tonight. Dog has that puzzled "What no chase me round the lounge?" look on her face. Popped some iced champers. Tonight is celebration night, made the last payment on the mortgage

Time to kick back after nearly 30 years!!!

Cheers all
