Some of you know I've been busy, while at home. A neighbor died, and left pretty much everything to his 72 year old girlfriend. She doesn't drive, or have a car (the other family members got them). So, she wants her garage cleared out. I have been working over there quite a bit. Cleaning out her garage, as well as cleaning up her yard, which is a half acre like mine. I have been raking, sweeping, pulling weeds, and cutting grass, as well as trimming trees and bushes. As for cleaning out her garage, I got all kinds of things that are cool. I took some photos of some of them to post up for you all to see. This is a cool gas torch. It is about 6 inches tall. This is a 4 speed gear knob, that looks just like the one in my 1959 Chevy Apache pickup truck. This is a 1972 Matchbox catalog. I, as a kid, have a 1968 one. So I will add this to my collection. This is a hardbound pocket sized book. From 1956. Has a list of where to get parts and such. Really cool. This rock has what looks like big piece of gold in it. Who knows? I don't. I'll have to take in somewhere, to find out. I thought it was cool. Enjoy! George

How about these? Since we moved out here, we have bought 4 of them, in different colors and makes. I help my neighbor, and I get a ton more of different colors and makes. 1907 is the oldest I've seen that I now have. Enjoy! George

How about this? It's a Pineapple Corer, from Del Monte. I looked on ebay, and without the Del Monte name on it, goes for 500 bucks! I kinda like it. George
