Reds have left 7 on base through 4. Offense is still stagnant. Had 2 on with no outs to start the 4th. Marlins lead 1-0.
They kept their low scoring streak well-intact again today.Reds have left 7 on base through 4. Offense is still stagnant. Had 2 on with no outs to start the 4th. Marlins lead 1-0.
Good afternoon D, I don't know if this is what you call marking something off your bucket list, but anyway, I've been metal detecting for about 10 years now and today I found my first half dollar, a 1967 Kennedy half! Also found another Mercury dime, 1920 something, can't make out the last number, anyway.
Anything before 1965 is 90% silver when it comes to dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollars unless of course those dollars are .9999 silver which would be 1 ounce of silver since they add .1% copper to it to make it more solid. In which case the .1 percent copper pushes the weight to 1.1 ounce meaning you have 1 ounce of silver.Whoa,
Sir,
I have been watching some youtube video's as you mentioned and came across several reels about gold. Come to find out there are places in Virginia close to me if the sessions are true. I know a few places I am going to frequent and try before the snakes come out in force. I am also seriously looking forward to detecting some of the water areas/ beaches we have been to, I even bought a small sand shovel (The kind that sifts the sand.) in the hopes.I found a few pennies around the neighborhood but I still do not have my detector set properly but I believe I can. Once I learn more, I may invest more heavily and buy a real detector. I am already having fun and haven't yet really started. It is something I have always wanted to do though. Congrats on the finds!
Just got back with My Darling from her four or five hour session at the Spa. She had a great time and we went out to eat before coming home.
Think I am going to partake of a Yuengling or two... I have some that have been there a while so I need to ensure they don't go bad.![]()
Have you got a pin-pointer, got to have a pin-pointer!!!!Whoa,

You type too confusingly...Anything before 1965 is 90% silver when it comes to dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollars unless of course those dollars are .9999 silver which would be 1 ounce of silver since they add .1% copper to it to make it more solid.

?????????????? Will search again! Thanks Sir!Have you got a pin-pointer, got to have a pin-pointer!!!!
Completed all of my task for the day and am now enjoying a Bitburger German Bier in a frosted mug.
"Wife seems better. Hopefully no more cancer spread."Good morning from ATX. Yes, up early. Currently 66°F. Got some rain yesterday.
Must take retirement packet to post office tomorrow. 49 more days.
Provided tech support to Cuz in KY yesterday. He had a Telemed over Zoom with his doctor in Louisville. Helped him via Quick Assist. He was real early to meeting because of 1 hr time difference.
Wife seems better. Hopefully no more cancer spread.
Happy Friday, y'all!

Good morning folks. Glad it is Friday.
Heading for Kentucky tomorrow morning to help care for dad. He is getting close to immobile. Tough to watch what is happening to him at 95. But we all are trying to keep some joy in his life. He still likes being with family, watching the Reds and Gunsmoke.
I hope your wife continues to show positive signs Austin.
Out for a quick run, then lots of work today. You all have a good one.

Thanks Warrior. He's lived a good, interesting life and has much to be grateful for. It is always hard at the end to see someone who was so strong and energetic falling apart. But 95 is as much as any of us can ask for, and we all face the same end.View attachment 1251403
95 years is great. Here is to hoping and praying his time now is as comfortable and as painless as possible.
Happy Birthday. Wishing you many, many more.Went to Kentucky yesterday. Visited some friends and then off to Sisters where she fixed me a pre Birthday lunch. Turning 75 today. Doctors appointment at 9:30 and have no plans after that for
the day except watching The Masters.
Thanks. Best advice is click "more options" in upper right corner. No delete button available. I'll try a couple tests posts below.Thanks Warrior.

On another topic, do any of you folks - maybe Austin, who I know is a computer wizard, know if there is any way to KILL a post on this board now? The old board had a DELETE tab, but since we went to ON3, I can't figure it out, if it is possible. I get angry at some of the obvious fake trolls on Rafters, but after lettting off steam just want to kill an occasional post. I know, I shouldn't let the little fleas and ticks irritate me.

Morning D-Legionnaires!
Mid 60's this morning with a high around 80° expected for today.
Reds...
Normal Saturday morning with monster walk and exercise coming up.
Wife wants to go shopping,
Means I have to be hopping.
Reds want to keep dropping,
While Duke is still flopping.
You are probably hoping I'll be stopping....
OK, just trying out my rhyming skills...
A little Saturday morning levity.
Not doing it with longevity.
Yes, I know it's not a necessity.
Luckily it was done with brevity.
Heh, heh, heh... I crack myself up.
Go easy today folks and God Bless.
Moving like a slug, chased by a bug, that wants me as grub."Yuse" a Mug but it may be better than being a rug...![]()
