Went to an auction yesterday. Big one with two rings. Right when one ring
moved to the power tools, the other ring moved across the place to the steel
room. The auctioneer started offering choice which rack of steel, no
bidders. So, he said the whole room. Ask 1000, 500, no takers. I said $200,
still no bites and he says SOLD. Then about three guys say which rack and
the auctioneer says, no the whole room, they were ****ed.

Anyway I've been hauling for a day and a half. The lot weighed in at just
over 20,000 lbs. Only maybe 500 lbs. in lengths shorter than four feet.

I think I'm set on steel for a while.

Super nice gloat, Karl. Congratulations.

I bought the racks for $150. But traded them off while at the auction.
probably a mistake. I thought I had room on my racks. i do, but it will be a
pain cuase they will be overfilled and I'll have to take 500 lbs of stuff
off every time I need something.

You are completely disgusting!!!!!!!!!1

Awesome deal, anyway, and a great workout, good for developing hand
grip and back strength. I love the steel that I bought, already had
chances to use it etc, plus I sold a lot too, all D2 is gone. I sold
two buckets of D2 for $200.

Do you ever go down south in the direction of Chicagoland?

I could buy some 12L14 from you and square tubing.

When I go south, I take great pains to avoid Dailey's city. If I'm heading

I lived 200 feet from the toll plaza on 294 just south of the Eisenhower for

OT: The batch of 9mm cast bullets, a few I gave to your kid, seem to be
under-lubed. If any are left, give them another coat of Alox. They seem to
lead my bbl. a bit more than the latest batch, but not too badly. I used to
thin the Alox 3:1 with mineral spirits, now I do 8:1. Let me know if you
want more, I cast them 500 at a time or for about half an hour, then it gets
boring.

cleaned out the fuel tank, pickup tube, and installed a snowmobile fuel pump
for temporary trial. Runs like new. He said it took him two hours to fix it.

Any tool steel?

Na, all fabrication stuff for a weld shop. maybe 1000 lbs. of rectangles and
rounds. two pallets of plates, two pallets of angle iron, three pallets of
pipe and tubing, three pallets of channel and I beem. All of it with
significant surface rust. No one including myself could see how much there
was. The plates had a pile of used 2 x 4s over them. There was tin and old
rain gutters over the angle iron.

With suckage like that, and so close together, prepare for hurricanes.

I'm trading $300 worth of work to a client for her Murray riding
mower. Tecumseh 20hp, electrostatic, runs like a champ. She got a new
Husqvarna with a bumper. Somehow, that bumper seemed important to her.


I gave up on repairing my tired Crapsman mower and bought a new Torro #20333 'Personal
Pace' self propelled today. Thing is pretty nice, the blade has a clutch so when you let
go the engine keeps running while the mower quits moving and the blade stops spinning.

I'm sick and tired of restarting a mower when I pick up a some debris in my mowing path.

The self propel mechanism is variable speed, if you stop, it stops, you start running it
will do 4mph with speeds in between. It works independently of the blade system so you
can walk the mower though gravel or whatever with the blade stopped.

Sure hope all the new fangled stuff is durable.

spot any liquid generic stuff. What term do I need to put in to find
it?

I've gotten my generic from Aircraft Spruce. IIRC it was about $18 /
quart for Par-AL-Ketone, an aircraft rust preventative, which seems to
be the same thing as Lee Liquid Alox.
