Controversial item: Perhaps we should change her description to "Welch plug chaser" from "doughnut chaser."
I will get myself put out at this rate . . . .

All I have ever seen them do is rust out. I like the brass/bronze ones.
Very Welch . . . .

Sounds like a job for half a bucket of penetrating oil and a propane torch.

My dad told stories about being a junior Navy officer and having a squad of Marines assigned to him to keep order while the sailors were on liberty in some Caribbean port, likely Cuba. Bars and whorehouses. Of course, he had to keep tabs on the jarheads, too. Damned kids. Lots of adult beverages, I'm sure.
So now I am wondering, why Welch plugs? I mean, not enough to Google it right now, but maybe. "Your engine has run-of-the-mill freeze plugs, but I upgraded mine to Welch plugs . . . ."

Core plugs, also called freeze plugs or Welch plugs, are used to fill the sand casting core holes found on water-cooled internal combustion engines. Core plug - Wikipedia I have decided that I now prefer to call them Welch plugs.

Fred got a bit artistic yesterday. The landlady decided to paint the outside work table. It had been painted white on the top last summer, but she decided that there was too much glare. We had some leftover green, so that went on top, and she painted the base a gray. And then . . . Fred . . . .

You should. It would be nice to meet you. I'd like to say that Fred will be there, but she won't. She doesn't travel. She hated her last trip to the vet. Her sister isn't much better.
