They were a little sloppy with that red paint, though, weren't they? Hafta put that on the 'someday' list...

Kool- I grew up around houses named "Dunroamin" and "Pipedream" etc.
so- founded in 1998, OK- but what happens in 2017? Ize confuzed, Massa
heh

It's the address, dolt. Or mebbe the year we win the lottery (if we ever remember to buy tickets)

LOL at Neffi!!!

Very nice, John! I've often wondered whether you had/would do something to connect your physical home to your online home. Very nice... :)

...so was '98 the year SWWBO graced your miserable existence? I 'member the pic from N'Awlins- what a beautiful smile that gal has...

That was the year we made it legal, anyway.

She's been gracing things since, oh, '93 or so.

Oh Great! More Brass to Polish! Just one more task that the Admiral of the Moat has to detail out. Harumpf!!!

John & Beth - Excellent addition to the Castle!

Echo Barb- very classy, J&B :) ...
Dolt? DOLT? why, I ain't been called that since- um, well... what's the date today?

It get's worse, Neffi - the Commissar linked to it... because of the 'dolt'... hee!

And Boq - I had the cleaning kobolds in mind - it's cast aluminum with red and gold paint. *Much* easier to maintain!

I hooked a link?! Mom will be so proud... (sob) Her boy done good...

I had a professor who actually named his relatively modest Georgetown home The Branderslev. Never did find out where he came up with that.

Yours, clearly, is far superior.

That is so CUTE!

Not as cute as the "SWWBO's coming home happy penquin dance" but cuter than a puppy...

Phweew - I´ll have the swabbies at the Sand Pebbles stand down on the Brasso.

heh, Boq- A ditty when I was a child in England...
"Shine up your buttons with Brasso;
It's only tuppence a tin ...
You can buy it or nick it at Woolworths
But i doubt if they'll have any in."

"Foundling in 1998"
"Found in 1998"
"Fonded in 1998"
"Funded in 1998"

Bad eyesight can be elucidating.

Cheers

Kewl. In honor of the occasion, I propose another acronym for SWWBO:

BTLW. That is, Beth The LYDDITE Wife. Ya know, perfectly stable unless confined in tight places with "corrosion products."

(I mind her stories of her travels in airliners.)

Hey, I always refer to my ex-sweety's place as "Castle Bravo," because when she gets angry, she reminds me of a ton or so of incandescent Lithium Deuteride.

I love that John. Very appropros.

May it stay shiny and yours for a long time.

Twopence for a tin? Sweet.

Actually, back when polishing was part of my daily routine, I considered myself a Duraglit man myself. In my humble opinion, far superior to Brasso.

Well, as the only polishing I do any more is Castle holdings such as trench art and telescopes, I use Brasso as a starter if the patina is thick and when I've used the abrasive (well shaken) power of Brasso to effect, I switch to Nevr-Dull to finish.

Nevr-Dull eh? I'll have to give it a try one of these days. BTW - that's a great umbrella holder.

Scale being everything... that is a swizzle-stick holder on the bar...

Oh, and I suspect that Duraglit and Nevr-dull are prolly twins separated at birth - Nevr-dull is just what the PX carries.

I´ll hafta buy my self a can of that and compare. Brasso & Duraglit was what AAFES & CGME carried back home. Even when I moved to CONUS, I would always take a couple tins with me from my hometown PX. Which reminds me... that mail slot is lookinging quite reddish lately. I have to give her some luvin'.

That is too cool! Now I want one that says "The House of Sage" ! LOL Think The Man would be as cool about it as SWWBO was? ;)

When I refer to my house by name, it's "Weedhaven."

Ah, yes. Weedhaven. That would be the backyard...

Klingeheim, here...

John, that is so awesome!
