Default Old Shops

I was driving home from the hardware store today and saw a sign for an
estate sale. Those things are often a bit sad. Because somebody's whole
life is boxed up and sold. Often without any reverence for the folks who lived that life.

Again, no idea what they were. I would have loved to talk to this guy and
have him explain to me what all this old, operational equipment did. It is
a little sad that I never got to find out about it or him. Life goes on, I
guess.

It was nice visiting an old shop. Those things are rapidly disappearing.
I enjoyed it though.


Seen it dozens of times ... widow, selling husband's shop tools just a few
short years after he finally realized the shop of his dreams.

Makes you want to do with what you got, and appreciate it while doing it.
