By my watch, it is almost Guinness time on this St. Pat's day 2006. It will not be in the form of a can...albeit the widget was a "Brilliant" invention...a perfectly poured pint is always best... A deep dark ray of sunshine. Slainte!!!!!!
That is a killer watch! Guiness icecream is fairly good as well...

Although I don't like Guinness, I do like St-Pat's Day. Here in Belgium, our local Irish pub is also celebrating the entire week-end. I like the atmosphere, the joy and if I drink enough regular beer, a large Guinness might slip into my hands :)
I am a member of the Guinness collectors club. The watch came from Portugal..The tattoo is the Guinness harp logo...The Guinness harp is the Harp of Ireland but backwards. 1759 is when Guinness began. I am also a member of the 1759 Society...hence the tattoo.
what an odd post. i married a guy from Belgium, who took me to Portugal. and i also love me some Guinness, 'cause i'm part Irish (black Irish, too, from what I gather LOL).
hope you had a fantastic St. Patty's!
can you believe i forgot to wear my Heinz pickle pin?! (it's usually the only green i wear, because it's so cute and so weird.)
I had less than a month to build a suitable coop and chicken run. I had very little money to work with. Having seen many coops and out buildings that people have assembled using scrap pallets, I thought that I would give it a try. Starting with two 4 x 8 pallets as the floor, I assembled all the available pallets that I could find. This is the frame of the coop. It will measure approximately 8ft x 8ft. Saltbox style roof will be 9 feet at the front and will taper down to 8 1/4 feet in the back. My inspiration is drawn from the bottom photo seen here. I varied the plans to accommodate the unevenness of available pallet size. In a perfect world a 4' x 4' pallet would make pallet building as easy as playing with Lego's. Unfortunately downsizing has effected everything. Most pallets now measure 48" x 40" and the solid 4' by 4' pallets are usually reclaimed by their owners. Oh, they're out there, but I am looking to build for as little
This summer has been very unusual. But I've seen it all before. There are times that the seasons act according to form and there are times that they don't. There have been more days of rain and clouds than sunny summer days. In point of fact, we had warmer days in May. We got started rather late but as you can see things are progressing in spite of all the wet weather.
Sunday morning......Saturday night was spent around the fire with about ten people, little scotch, little beer, good conversation, shrimp, cheese & crackers, sliced apple and smoked gouda. So, getting up this a.m. was a little difficult and then the phone rang. It was my oldest daughter. My niece's baby died. Her father was holding her on the couch and gave her a bottle at 11 p.m. When he awoke, she was beside him on the couch dead. They don't know if he slept on her and she smothered or died from natural causes. She was 2 months old. We don't see as much death in little children as we once did. We have very old cemetaries tucked in throughout New England with many little children, sometimes from the same family that died from disease. This kind of death is different. How does anyone deal with this? If it is ruled an accident due to smothering, how does the father manage? How does my neice ever be able to look at him? Damn, I hate bad news......
