I have seen the item in pic two but can't think of the name off hand but I do recognize the cow bell. How did I do. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to logueb) Post #: 131

RE: Took the Long Way Home Today - 9/19/2007 6:46:49 AM    logueb   Posts: 1382 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Cap, 8 out of 10 , that's pretty good.  Pat's right on #2 , the ol cotton scale and pea.  The pea has a hole in the bottom for calabration. Lead is poured in or can be taken out.  Have heard stories of farmers whose scales weighed "lighter".  As Cap can verify, you know how much that you can pick in a day, and you hate to get short-changed after a long hot day in the sun. Item #10 is  a pair of Ice Tongs. Probably should have done a better pic.  These were used to carry those large blocks of ice that you bought at the Ice house.  Before refrigeration, there were Ice Plants that made ice using ammonia and brine water.  These frozen blocks were stored in ice houses and bought by the block.  These blocks could be placed in the "ice box" the forerunner of the modern day fridge.  Remember taking an ice pick to those large blocks? Pat, This pair of tongs are hand forged and have  a name stamped into the side. W J  Hills. There was a W J  Hills from South Carolina listed on the web that was in the Civil War.  Suppose he could have become a blacksmith after the war?

RE: Took the Long Way Home Today - 9/20/2007 12:35:04 PM    logueb   Posts: 1382 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Well, Looks like Cap was the winner on that little display.  So he wins a trip to the Fire station and the recipe for the famous Firehouse 'nanna pudding.  Those guys love this stuff, but I don't understand why.  It's not the kind that Granny used to fix in the oven. Like everything else today, it's instant. Two E-One Pumpers ready to roll.  A 2003 and a 2007.  Not bad for a small town Volunteer Fire Dept.

Now this is the large recipe version, for feeding those hungry firemen.  First take a large aluminum roasting pan.  Add one box of 'nilla waffers.  Slice one bunch of bananas.

Then slice up the second bunch. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight. (in reply to logueb) Post #: 138

RE: Took the Long Way Home Today - 9/20/2007 12:48:25 PM    logueb   Posts: 1382 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Next pour a gallon of milk into a large bowl, and add three large and one small box of vanilla instant pudding.  I know, you would think banana pudding, but nope, it's vanilla.
