Default Salvaging a Garage door torsion-spring

If you lived in central Florida you could just put it out by the street
and someone would steal it within a couple of hours. I get rid of all
sorts of stuff that way, gotta drag an old fiberglass jon boat that
someone left on my property down there pretty soon.


Things are tough all over -- today was trash day (we have recycling
pick-up every OTHER week) and I noticed a heavily-laden old Chevy
pickup truck cruising the cans on my street. Not the first time, either!

(N.B. I've got plenty of partcle board for disposable jigs from a
entertainment center somebody left on the street, too -- just not from
MY neighborhood. GRIN)
