I just took stock of what I had collected: Three lawn mowers, two energy bikes [don't ask], several dozens of feet of fencing materials, numberous car batteries, bed frames, insulations and dry wall, boxes fulls of supplies such as high pressure copper tubing purchased for a failed project in 1986, gun targets and clay pigeons [most were broke], misc pumps and motors, big iron thingies for purposes unknown, refrigeration coils for the 1986 project, 16 tires [6 with rims], one fiberglass pressure tank...

I am expanding my office into an area used as a catch-all storage area used for the last sixteen years. We just took the 6th truckload to the dump and recycling center.

I don't know where Tsu finds all of this stuff. :rolleyes:

It sounds mostly like one very industrious, innovative, integrated solar heating project 'lost' to history

I had crabs once in the late '60s. They seemed quite gregarious though. Not hermits, and I wasn't geared up to keep them as pets.

I thought people in Maine had lobsters. :confused:
