Moving the movable stuff around helps, but most of my installed
heaviness is to port.
And I can't use the port water tanks right now without inducing a
serious list.

I need about 200 to 250 pounds of lead (or gold?) bars.

Metal World wants to know what alloy, size and shape I need.

I'm clueless as to lead alloys.

Are there standard bar shapes and sizes?

Or even better, anybody near Dallas Area have any scraps to sell?


Not enough room for rocks?

I kinda like the suggestion of more batteries.
