Right here in the heart of holiday shopping season you've given me that not so gentle shove and now I have to send money to an ebay merchant for a #7 Stanley. When Her Ladyship finds out, I'm gonna be in bad trouble for a long time. Hope that damn couch is more comfortable than it used to be.
BobH, grinnin' like a mule eatin' briars.

>"mule eating briars" What's up with that? And sheep won't eat thistle until you go into the pasture and whack them. Then they snarf them up like it's cabbage! Don't they know what's good for 'em?
Greg - still trying to get his shop hot enough to use hide glue. 60
degrees, and stokin'...

While you're looking at 4 planes the most expensives being $5.50 right now. I'm about to join you on the couch. I'm bidding on a #45, and I promised SWMBO I would lay off Ebay.

Greg! You Ever Been Around Mules?

>When I was a kid (40's and 50's) they were still quite common -- common enough that a city-raised boy like me came in touch with 'em right often. A family we bought butter and eggs from lived out in the 'country' and still had several mules because the grandfather would not plow with a tractor although his son had bought and used 2 different ones. The mules were left to graze in the pasture, and you could always tell when they got in the briars 'cause the briars would stick in their cheeks making them pull back their lips and expose their teeth. "Grinnin' like a mule eatin' briars" was a very common expression in the rural South. I've seen it happen many times but probably never will again.
BobH, hopin' the question wasn't rhetorical.
