Scavenger Hunt from Life #171: Sep 23 - Oct 05

[NedL]

I had some difficulty with that hammer so I decided to try another tool.

This wrench says "Stillson" and "Boston USA" on it. I looked it up, and Daniel Stillson invented the adjustable pipe wrench. His patent is from the 1870's. This one was made before 1906, so it was probably my great grandfather's.

Joan, the squash and pinecones are perfect! Clever for simple and complex. Love the sketch. I like your hand with makes marks, I thought of that after I had finished. I like drawing hands. Your reminders on the pad are well done. Comfy couch.

Ned, Gene is the one that has the sweet tooth. He has always liked the pies, especially when traveling. Apples right off the tree are so good. Bet the pies were delicious. Sounds like the right amount of sweetness for me. Double wow on the wrench and your history of it. Well done!! (Texas has a fall ball game on Saturday against Texas Tech at the Dell Diamond where the Round Rock Express play. We may go for a while, it will be 12 innings instead of a double header but don't know if Gene can hold out that long. We will see.)

Fletch, great to see you. So hard to find art time lately. Hope you can do that.... Thanks on my lettering. I'm not patient enough to do a good job and tend to just do my printing so if you had the real box it might not look the same, ha.

Hi to all the rest of you sketchers.....

Thanks all for kind comments: Jo, Joan, Fletch, and Ned.

Ned: Yes, Sting Concert in Bangkok was superb. We got great seats despite not paying too high price. The show was a sold-out, 70% of audiences were foreigners or expats and in 50s-70s age. Sting showed up exactly at 8 pm. He played a bass guitar and sang his heart out straight for almost 16 songs with minimum talking. He was in absolutely great shape, voice-wise, and for his age. The sound system and lighting were also spectacular. Tone and I enjoyed it very much. Sting told us, his last concert in Bangkok was 23 years ago. He ended the night with Roxanne... with a full house roaring.
