curmugeon | working in the barn...

Just discovered a shelf of shop manuals.... a bunch of material for ebay... 1949 Ford, 1962 Ford, a lot of stuff on Ford from as far back as 1949 through 1971, early Jaguar repair manuals, early Suzuki small motorcycles, Hodaka (remember those motorcycles), Yamaha from the 70's, 1956 Cadillac, etc....very dusty and sometimes soiled covers, but old stuff.

I also went into the 'cool room', where my parents did store a lot of food. I have juicers, grain mills, dehydrators, a lot of dehydrated food packed in cans and mylar bags... a lot of stuff to look at there. ..

I got to dispose of a lot of stuff that was pressure canned about 10 years ago, I wouldn't trust it, and I'll just wash the Ball and Kerr jars and reuse them.

I have tons of nuts, bolts, screws, etc. My Dad never threw anything away.

I got to clean and re-season \a whole lot of cast iron cookware.
