A full day wiring at a bulk propane plant is hard for a smoker. A mixed sixer of porters and stouts from a good buddy enjoyed in my shop allowed me to catch up on the nicotine
Ischiavo, your work alwsys sounds so interesting! I am not promoting tobacco use ( the pipe thread is more than just tobbacco
. ) but i went from ciggsrrettes to smokeless a long time ago to feed the need. Now that smoking is nearly outlaw, smokeless tobaccy has exploded. I remember when i got into the disgusting kick there was skoal or copenhagen now each of those have numerous variations along with many other brands and their variations. Id say the explosion in smokeless tobacco products is partly the result of the crack down on smoking - some people are going to get hooked on nicotine in no matter what. Lucky for the tobacc companies.
Different note
They say one mans trash is another mans treasure, right? I have become a bit of a scavenger and would say the previous as Onesns lack of appreciation is another man's joy
Last night my wife and i took our dogs on the usual walk. Before i say anymoore, here in Hawaii ( at least Oahu, the first of the month is bulk pick up day. A spot is designated close to Your home, a stone's throw away, where a person can put bulky items - We used it one time to get rid of the broken (was suppose to work) old dryer that came with this house. I hauled to the curbside towards the end of the month and beginning of the next month it was hauled away with all the other junk. And overall there is a lot of junk that is taken away. Its free, well there is nothin free but that's besides the point. Hawaii, i believe does this to keep the island clean otherwise the crowded population here could easily turn the natural beauty of this place into dumping grounds; if that makes sense
So, why this long mixed up ramble? This week is bulk pick-up. Somebody in the neighborhood remodeled and the "waste" was placed at a curbside next to my house. Lastnight, Sunday, my wife and i took our dogs for their usual evening walk and we strolled by yhis heap. We'd seen it from the car earlier in the day but aside from sering some wood, which I automatically assumed pressrd board with veneer I ignored it. The junk would be hauled away in a day or two.
My wife said we should detour from our nightly walk route and check out the temporary dump site. I was game
This is THE longest post i think ive ever written, so if youre still hanging in , Cheers!
My wife found wood. Teal Wood!! Okay not solid wood but 3/4" smooth on two sides, six ply all in beautiful condition. Plus 3 framed, bamboo etched in glass dining cabinet windows. Im probably not desrining this worthy of the beauty - their is no pressed, particle or tiny thin lsyer of veneer involved.
We took it-thats perfectly acceptable here and from the land dump space saved, Im certain the guys that would have had to lift and haul it away are glad the heavy, bulky load never had to be lifted onto their truck
There was also a refrigerator in the pile. Clean, smallish, maybe 14 cubic feet. I got my hand cart and loaded the fridge. Hauled to my back linai. Cleaned it, only the freezer seal was really dirty (?) plugged it in and the soft dound of the compressor came on. A clean icecube tray was in the freezer so i filled it with water and put back in, then folled a glass of water and set in the middle of the fridge section. I set freezer and fridge midrange settings. This morning. A tray of icecubes. Water in the glass a chilly 37.
Hmmm? Nice wood that can be recut, sanded and stained plus a good clean fridge lsid in my lap
Any ideas?
