Ok...enough winter already! But since we are talking about cold places, let's talk about Greenland. And in Greenland they have trees that are record setters. How?

Re: Humpday Triviola

More kids play ring around the rosie?

- - -

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

Re: Humpday Triviola

ENOUGH ALREADY, Thomas. I find your line of trivia questions ancient. I pine fir new material. What is going to take to move you into the 20th century? *

*This is a test of the emergency animosity system. If any actual animosity had existed for Mr. Skaggs or anyone else in the trivia creating department, this site would have reached through the computer and bopped Mr. Rutten on the head (and he would have deserved it). But, this is only a test.

Too Much Coffee?

Jim,

I think it's time you switch to decaf for the rest of the day. ;-) Oh, and sorry, but nope...to your guess.

Re: Ok...let's make this simple....

The Dwarf Willow, reaching staggering heights of 5 cm when fully grow.

Although, the above does not make it a tree as I've been taught. Anyway, onward, let's see what "easy one" DD has to offer today.

Thanks for the question. Dale

Ahhh...we have a wiener!!!!

Dale was able to successfully decipher my last cryptic hint to come up with the correct answer of Dwarf Willow, being noted as the smallest tree in the world.

Now....Mr. Dan....it's on to Thursday!
