I find this note/news worthy fascinating & interesting.
Billions of cicadas are about to emerge, creating a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle
Two large broods of cicadas in the Midwest and southeastern U.S. are set to surface simultaneously—something that hasn't happened in over 200 years.I find this note/news worthy fascinating & interesting.

My wife has not finished a furniture piece in quite awhile because she has been finishing up miscellaneous odds and ends from the home interior refresh. She started in on refinishing a dresser last week and finished it up yesterday. I think it's pretty stunning.

Norm - LoL, I asked the same question when I first saw it! Wife says there's no significance that she's aware of. I thought it might have been the original artist's way of signing/numbering their prints, but my wife said there was no historical info provided with the transfer.
I didn't know this piece was going to be finished today, but my wife just said it was finished and had me help her carry it upstairs. As part of the interior refresh, we're converting what was formerly the formal dining room into a more casual sitting room. We're still looking for the right furniture to go in it, but this will be the centerpiece. Vintage radio/turntable, retrofitted with Bluetooth stereo with synced flashing lights like an old jukebox.

Hi guys,
Hope everyone is having a great day!
I think many of you know my College Major was in Geology. As such, I've always had an interest in minerals, rocks, and fossils, and I have a decent collection that I've found over +45-years. Today I did something I haven't done in well over 20-years, I went fossil hunting with a buddy. The St. Louis Limestone is a very well known Mississippian Period (323 - 353 million years ago) formation that is exposed in most large road/highway cuts around the St. Louis area. It is known for yielding a decent amount of fossils from that geologic period. The rubble at the bases of cuts are a great place to comb thru and look for fossils because you can search thru vast amounts of rock relatively quickly.
Today I was lucky and hit the jackpot! A very nicely preserved Gastropod (snail).

The most likely failure in old radios is the electrolytic capacitors. The capacitors in those old radios are made with cardboard tubes, so the electrolyte will dry out over time. You can hog out the original capacitor and install a modern sealed capacitor in the hollowed out cardboard tube so it looks original.
Thanks pardner, but I'll pass, certainly appreciate the offer though. One of these days I'll post a few pictures of my finest specimens. My finest mineral is a golf ball size natural garnet crystal. An undamaged garnet crystal has 12 sides and the crystalline shape is called a dodecahedron. I've often wondered if I could find a professional gem cutter to cut it into a gemstone pendant for my wife, it would make quite the "Rock".

I have swung and missed, Make'r Happen
An old gentleman (Mr. Akins) on my newspaper route (~1963/1964) was a professional lapidary - really nice guy. On several occasions he took me into his garage & showed me his devices/tools/workshop complete w/ cutting machines, grinders and several tumblers. He showed me inside his home where he had several large lighted display cases w/ various types of lighting - museum type display cases surrounded in glass. He cut & tumbled several pieces for me. I told him I had several uncles in Wisconsin who had lead mines on their property & his eyes lit up. I brought him this one piece (I still have) I cut out of a lead mine. He looked at it, put it under a UV lamp and I was amazed. Short story. He asked to borrow my calcite piece since it demonstrated extraordinary calcite clarity and extraordinary diamond-shaped polyhedrons. He sent it to some museums for a traveling display tour. I got it back ~12 months later. He asked about the lead mines, I told my Mom and within several weeks I was accompanying Mr. Akins to one of my uncles farms to visit a lead mine. He found one he said he had to have. The damn thing weighed 50lbs - 60 lbs, ~3' long & ~1.5' wide. Carried it to his car and the guy was ecstatic all the way back home (~2.5 hr - 3.0 hr drive). All because I was his paperboy.
