Title: An Original Kettle?
Post by: jolayiv on April 10, 2016, 07:30:25 PM
Some of you may have caught when I introduced myself and said that I may have laid my eyes on an "Original Kettle". Well I haven't been able to catch anyone at home and out of respect I will not trespass to get a better look.

So you guys be the judge.  Crappy picture I know but I keep forgetting my DSLR to get up close and personal.

Leave a note on the door.

No, I don't think that's an original kettle. Looks too big to me.

I have considered leaving a note but the big dog and all of the second amendment signs have kept me from stepping out of my truck lol. I'm not pushing the issue to much because I'm not convinced it's a old kettle.

It sure does get the blood pumping looking at it as I do a slow drive by. If the folks are outside one day I will swing in and talk with them.

hard to judge without better size perspectives, but it seems that the countours are all wrong and the leg strappings are too wide

It's a bathtub for the tortoise.

Quit being a puss!

Tie an American flag to your antenna and knock on the door.

Most importantly when he answers the door DO NOT introduce yourself as an employee of the IRS, and keep a keen eye on his guard tortoise.
