for the rock hounds:

I've spent a lot of time in gravel pits in my early adult years. Rocks always fascinate me.

@neonorchid
When I would help shut down the wash plant at our gravel pit I'd go stand at the conveyor belt where the rocks were screened off and watch for petoskey stones. Petoskey are only found in the northern part of the lower peninsula of Michigan.

I had a 5 gallong bucket of them that I left behind when I moved. I'm kind of kicking myself, but then I guess they should stay where they belong.
I do have a few that were in my gardening stuff that I hold on to.
The smallest one is polished, the others are not.

Wife and I helped out tagging Sturgeon yesterday. First time volunteering.
I helped with retrieval and then measuring. My wife did the scanner to look for previous tags and get the new number on new tags.

Yes it is and the middle section is open for the cat too.

Is it a Queen or a King?

 

[Dwight]

Is it a Queen or a King?

Full size

 

[VickieH]

Full size

I think he meant the cat. Full size or not, it will surely identify as King or Queen.

 

[Uncle-A]

I think he meant the cat. Full size or not, it will surely identify as King or Queen.

Sorry, but I did mean bed size not cat size.

 

[Mike King]

Sorry, but I did mean bed size not cat size.

full size = double. Not king or queen...

Another sweater finished and ready to wear… just in time for 20C (and warmer) weather. This one was a request from Thing 2.

 

[Uncle-A]

full size = double. Not king or queen...

You are correct, I am aware that full = double, did you know that two twin XL mattress = a king?

 

[Mike King]

You are correct, I am aware that full = double, did you know that two twin XL mattress = a king?

Nope, didn't know that!

Never had a brush, even cheaper one, have this issue. Actually a bit funny.
