New "cufflinks"


My wife gave me these for my birthday: monogrammed brass bar end plugs. I call 'em cufflinks.

I thought so but it’s even more clever. The brass cap unscrews to reveal an Allen bolt behind it to tighten the wedge.

ah! i guess that makes more sense than utilizing the caps themselves since they could get knocked around and come loose...theoretically, anyway

So that's what the hashtag means.. its a Facebook link thing. Facebook and I decided that were were no longer friends some time ago so I don't speak their lingo. . But I found Grand Rappel in a web search. its pretty interesting.
