Silkie McDonough

Sorry Emil, apparently I am not old enough to watch it. Too many hoops to jump through.

I liked Dutchman's solution the best because it was easiest and cheapest and because I don't have no brewers pitch little bee's wax and no idea where my linseed oil is (some place with my painting supplies ...assuming I still have any). Soaked the tumblers for about 6 hours so far and sadly they are still leaking so i stuck them back in the water, figured it couldn't hurt.

Any other suggestions? ...until I get other supplies.

I should be arriving on Friday around 3 PM or so. I am looking forward to having the Crewe of the Archangel's "Silkie's Hyde" up and running this year!

I have four wooden tumblers, two leak. How do I repair them when I can't even see the cracks where they leak?

Aye, Mission has it right ...ummm ...did I just type that?

Still a great place for information, ideas and sharing ...whatever.

Happy Birthday lad.

Final Paragraph does state that it is signed and dated ...

This signed work came to light in 1972 and provided the first definitive identification of Knyff's artistic hand. It is a sophisticated painting with accurate ships depicted. It is also is a relatively late example of a tradition in Netherlandish art of such waterfront compositions which, real or imaginary, provided an obvious focus for scenes of varied incident. Signed and dated 1673. Acquisition method: vote.

I do not see a signature on the painting. Perhaps the writing on the plank is the artists signature? I can't make out what it says.

Looks that way. The woman just down from him clearly has one on.

I know this woman that lives in Utah, her husband is a great guy and ...oh ...wait ...never mind. Tell Maeve I said hello.

Hmm ...how long have you been there?

Why is it when I read this thread in my head I hear "Hey Grandpa, what's for dinner?!"

They all look alike to me, pretty boys that is.

That explains why I am always here!

Very tempting gentlemen. No insult intended.

happy Birthday lad!

Ms. Silkie. My eyes line with tears when I saw you still here in the pub. I snicker to myself that m' fair grand woman walked by and did not recognize me. Oh what grand times I had with you! The voice of an Irish Siren is what I said to myself. I stand before you Ms. Silkie, bow, and tip m' hat.

Welcome to the pub lad.

Hello lass. We could never forget you! Welcome back!

Is that tea? For breakfast? What kinda pirate are you? It should be rum, whiskey, or nothin'!

Though the croisannt be a good choice... 'Specially if it be havin' apricot preserves on it...

(Who says there is no spirit in said tea?)

I shall ask when next we meet ...then I shall step too paces out of arms reach.

Delightful.

I have been thinking Captain Brand, you do not always speak of monkey's, However, it seems that each time I hear you and John conversing "that" particular story is revisited. One would think after all these years John would recall SOMETHING other than the monkey.

Mr. Pew, so kind of you!

dang ...now I want a better breakfast than grains.

NOOOOOOOOO! No more tests, I just had my final final on Tuesday!

Leaving Captain Sterling to his on deVICES for eight hours on land explains much. In those days he couldn't keep himself from "entertaining" the ladies and from there he became less and less respectful.

*aside: "John are you sure you actually want to remember this?"
