What’s That Monday
contests November 2nd, 2009I know, I know. I usually have a What’s That item on Wednesdays, but my cold from last week is still clouding my head and I can’t think of anything else to write about.
You guys usually have to suffer for that because it makes me turn the tables on you and now you have to think.
How to play:
1. The photo shows a small portion of a larger object.
2. First person to guess the object wins a Junk Drawer magnet, a mystery prize or 500 Entrecard credits.
Go!
What’s that?
UPDATE: I’ve made this too hard. I shall now give you the slightest crumb of a hint. Here goes:
The item is used only outdoors. Also, the portion shown in the photo is not an internal part of the item. What you see here can be found in plain sight. I guess that was two crumbs. I’m such a giver.

I’m convinced those little grooves are for a screwdriver to tighten or loosen it, but other than that…I’m out. Hopefully, this’ll help someone else to WIN.
Grrrrr.

I think it is the sole of a shoe. The heel part! And it probably makes really funny footprints after you walk in water.

November 2nd, 2009 at 4:31 pm
I think it is some part of one of those machines where you put a coin in, turn the handle, and you get something… like bubblegum or a bouncy ball.
Or it’s some part of a washer or dryer at a laundromat.

Kristin beat me to it, I was going to say a ratchet. The part where you turn it to tell it which way to turn.

It’s the opposite side of a ratchet thing that tightens bolts. Maybe? Uh-oh, I see where others already said that! Will keep looking at it for an inspiration ..

It’s the part that goes behind a cooker oven knob, or washing machine knob. It clicks through the different settings? Second thoughts, maybe not

I like Babs guess but the more I look at it the more I think it’s a belt buckle – don’t know why, it just popped into my head. Originally I thought it was part of a stove burner or something stove-y

Is it something from a vacuum cleaner maybe? It looks like metal, but it COULD just be plastic with lots of light-colored dust on it that just happens to look metallic when the flash goes off.

It is a decorative bunth cake pan? I use to have a really great cast iron one for corn bread shaped with sunflowers….
November 2nd, 2009 at 8:01 pm
It’s a gear that only turns something back and forth, not all the way around. HHHMMM…..
BTW – are the leaves gone? Is Windy still there??

I think it is the clamp part of a patio umbrella. It allows you to raise and lower the umbrella.
November 3rd, 2009 at 10:18 am
A patio awning gear.

Well after reading all these comments, I couldn’t possible tell you what the object is but I sure will be interested in the answer. I think it is something to do with an outside decoration.

Is it a drain? Maybe for a water hose? I really have no idea.

It’s a decorative sunburst you hang on your fence.

Being that you’ve been home…I was sort of guessing it was something at your house.
Going to guess something to do with a bird feeder.
November 3rd, 2009 at 12:47 pm
I’m guessing it’s the side of a sprinkler!!! The grooves help it decide which way to oscillate.
Maybe??
kathryn´s last blog ..Power On, Power Off.
November 3rd, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Or, it’s on the handle of a garden hose.
(Damn, I want that magnet!!)

It’s a sprinkler, specifically the fan shaped spray selection.
November 3rd, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Oh boy that clue has really helped me – not!
It’s a fairground ride for ants. They can slide down the grooves or run round and round and up and down…. Oh all right, I’m wrong again.

Whatever it is…has to do with birds. You used the word “crumb” and referred to us as “peeps” on Facebook.
I’m still sticking with some sort of bird feeder part…although it does not look like part of a bird feeder.
November 3rd, 2009 at 4:31 pm
You know what…if you see me sneaking around outside your house…you know what i’m looking for!
