They were all made of metal many many years ago, but the name stuck regardless of what they are made of.


The same exact weather pattern has hit Billings . Up and down and up and down .Sigh, weather is still weird in Sheridan WY. One day there is a high of fifty and the next day a high of 85 and the next day back to 50...![]()

Similar terrain. I'm in the armpit of the free world, West Virginia.@Rusty_Shackleford What area of the country are you in? Looks kind of Ozarkish.
Actually we had two days of rain but it was just a drizzle, nothing to write home about.Weather ? It’s a changing Brothers ! Last Sunday we dropped twenty degrees from the previous day and got over an inch of rain . @jaylach is the big winner in that department . He’s about two hours south of me and it’s been raining there like cats and dogs according to my local TV weatherman . Fall is definitely here and they’re calling for 50’s and nights in the 30’s next week . I plugged the aquarium heaters back in today because I expect the house to start cooling down . Speaking of those , I also put my new Fluval heater in service in my Endler’s aquarium . I will never get used to that blue pilot light it has . It weirds me out .
Why that lousy weatherman on KTVQ ! He had me believing the people in Sheridan were building an ark .Actually we had two days of rain but it was just a drizzle, nothing to write home about.![]()
