They are dancing around the maypole. Old English tradition . You have totem poles to dance around.

Yes, it's mine. I patented it. But like Atoll said, I gave the company away and I just get royalties as I don't want a company.

Paul.designed and made it then passed it onto a company to make and market it as I recall. I am sure @paul will be along to tell you more soon.

I have a copperband that keeps Apts at bay. Not sure how it does it as I am pretty certain it not made of copper to kill them. Very strange.

Today we are invited to a Lunch/dinner party in a winery out in the vineyards. This should be fun as it is a beautiful day.
It is not to hot, like 78 but they will probably have some sort of covering or tent, I would imagine.
I would also imagine, plenty of wine.

We have 59 wineries here on 3,000 acres and this one is one of the smallest. But it should be a great afternoon.

Sounds like fun. We had temperatures in the high 90s with humidex numbers over 100 a couple of days ago. It is currently 46 degrees. I prefer the cooler temps.

Rybren, I didn't think it got that hot in Canada. I just figured it snowed all year. :)

I don't mow grass any more. We downsized to a condo and they do all of that while I sip wine and watch them. :)

Yesterday I noticed my front tooth was loose. About 10 years ago I asked my wife to "hand" me the TV remote and she must have thought I said to "Throw it at me" which she did and it broke my front tooth.

I got the thing fixed and of course they had to put a post in. Probably with a toggle bolt.

Anyway, it is now loose so I went to the dentist and he "glued" it back in. (This was hard to do with my Corona virus face mask on) I think I saw him use one of those tubes of Coralife coral epoxies along with Crazy Glue :rolleyes:

Whatever he did he said it is temporary and won't last. Of course not. So I need an implant.

I already have 9 of them so If I could stand my screaming, I could probably do it myself even though my "DeWalt" drill may be a little to big.
The implant is "only" the price of 70 copperband butterflies or $5,000.00.

I have insurance for most of it so I will still be able to get maybe fifty copperband butterflies. :p

The bad part is I may have to walk around without a front tooth for 3 months. And if I schedule it the same time as my knee surgery, all I need is a fife, drum and flag and I can look like those guys at the end of the Revolutionary war. (Or was it the Civil War?) I get my wars mixed up. :)
