I used to keep a bunch outside on a shelf just to see which would turn the most purple. Didn't work. Having three women in my family they gradually disappeared. I do get to visit some of them on occasion. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to pyshodoodle) Post #: 4

RE: Cal outdoor bottles - 6/23/2009 12:36:55 AM    ajohn Posts: 1812 Joined: 8/25/2008 From: The Mountains Status: offline  For the last couple of years I've been toying with the idea of building a BBQ that would incorporate the displaying of some small flavoring bottles or some kind of food theme.I think I finally found the perfect customer that I could build it for...ME! Shoot,I've been building BBQ's for other people for years now,why not???I think this summer I may be able to do it.I just got a bad feeling I'm gonna be the WORST customer I've ever had to deal with.The trick will be to not make it look like an antique store with a BBQ in it. _____________________________ I found the Red Road through the valley of the shadow of death....and along the way,found some really cool bottles (in reply to cyberdigger) Post #: 12
