I wanted to take a picture by the Alamo, but as things are going today I will be lucky to take a picture in the backyard . . . (tomorrow is tax day for those who asked for the 6 month extension ::) ).

Post by: SpinQueen on October 14, 2009, 03:38:05 PM: Nice Chris, you even put the date ;) Glad to say that the rain has let up a bit here so I hope to get a number of pictures outside today. I'm bringing lots of tops for people to spin. Cross your fingers that the rain stays away between 2:30-6:00 pm here in northern Ca.

Happy B-Day mtntop!

Well I tried several times to put a picture here and it did not work, here is the web site. http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=2554979013/a=114210318_114210318/otsc=SHR/otsi=SALBlink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/

Post by: silvertop on October 14, 2009, 11:06:23 PM: I'm going to try one more time - I hope this does not post 3 times!

Picture of my 27 month old granddaughter - Maya Louise Sams - Rochester, NY - attempting to copy what she saw her grandpa Don doing with a top. She just sort of wadded the string around the top and threw it. The top is actually in the air in the picture - shown on my blog at http://louisesdaughter.blogspot.com/2009/10/international-top-spinning-day.html (http://louisesdaughter.blogspot.com/2009/10/international-top-spinning-day.html)

And I'll try again to attach the picture here?

Cows and tops . . . you are pretty weird, you know, Chris :P Is that a Rascal top?

Yeah, I get kinda strange sometimes. Sorry. Consider yourselves my support group. "Hi, my name is Chris, and... I spin tops around cows and often can't find my pants."

Yup, Rascal. I have 11 rusty and 8 not rusty. Think I bought 'em from Mr. Haward. Check out my Rascal Containment Device:
