  • Free Bar-B-Que Grills!

     
    I am feeling lazy today. Pasted this one from an e-mail. Yawn..................
     
    Grilling tip
    As every Southerner knows, now that it is spring, it is time to get ready for that all-important cooking technique of the south --- outdoor grilling!

    I have just found out there are several stores (not just in the South) where you can get a FREE Bar-B-Que grill!  You can get a free BBQ grill from any of the following stores:

    A&P

    Albertsons
    Costco
    Dan's
    Food Lion
    Fry's
    Home Depot
    Big Lots
    Brookshire's
    Lowes
    Publix
    Safeway
    Sam's Club
    Target
    Vons
    Trader Joe's
    Wal-Mart
    Winn-Dixie
     
    I especially like the higher rack -- which can be used for keeping things warm!

    Just make sure to get a metal one... the plastic ones don't do so well.


    Ya'll enjoy now!

    the album cover project.....

    1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit "random"

    The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

    2 - Go to "Random quotations"
    or click
    http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
    The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

    3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
    or click
    http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
    Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

    4 - Use The GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, paint, or similar to put it all together.

  • The Phoenix that is the Milton Flea Market

     

    I am impressed. By this time next year, the Milton Flea Market should be fully rebuilt. Bigger and better than ever!

    They had over 350 inside vendors before the fire, at completion of the rebuild there should be room for over 500. All new construction, insulated, heated and air conditioned, and a modern, fully operational sprinkler system! The last being a damn good idea!

    These two center outside vendor areas are the only two that weren't connected and didn't burn. They are still open for business.

    Glad to see it moving along so well.

    The owner must have had a pretty good insurance policy!

     

     

  • Back to the Milton Flea Market

     

    It's supposed to be 68 and sunny today. I think we'll go to Milton, WVa today and see how they're recovering from the devestating fire they suffered last year.

    You can read about it HERE.

    This will be our first trip back since the fire. Should be interesting, I'll take some pics!

    See y'all when we get back!

     

     

     

  • Circles and circles within circles

     

     

    Intricate round windows must have been a popular theme with church designers in the 1800's in the Ironton, Oh area.

    pics 018.jpg

    The first four are all on the second story and appear to be around 10 or 11 feet in diameter.

    Doors of Russell,Ky 023.jpg

     

    pics 019.jpg

    About three feet in diameter, this one needs a little work.

     

    pics 021.jpg

    Originally a window damaged beyond repair, it was replaced with brickwork. And, not a bad job either.

     

    pics 016.jpg There's four circles in this one. At least.
