    This sorry looking Lowrey 'Organo' was in a lot purchased by another guy for $1

    He offered to sell it to me for $2

    I gave him $5

    It contained 60 little ken Rad 12AX7 tubes which were only made for a year or two. The audiophiles love em. Two were broken. I should get up to $50 a piece for them.

    Gold is still nicer to handle. Not as bulky and cleaner.

    I do have two huge albums of wool samples straight from the sheep.

    I've had them for years and can't decide if they are valuable rarities or junk.

    Albums of wool? Never hear of that? You mean the albums have skeins???

    They are two to three inch tufts from hundreds of breeds of sheep from all over.
    I have just been out to the shed to find them and despite seemingly having had to move them on every occasion I have looked for something else, I couldn't find them so I'll save them for when they turn up again.

    The summer house might have room for a lodger apart from Katrina the cat, it is on little iron wheels on a track and can be rotated to face the sun.

    If you can find a plane that will carry your livestock, I'll let you have the key to the outhouse as well. :) I guess the horses will have to poop somewhere.

    Wow, Af, what a shed!

    I wish I had that kind of space on my property. Around here, this is what people usually mean by a "shed" (not mine... I don't have one)...
