Score!

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Found a collapsable US canteen and cover, w/ Alice Clips for 3 bucks. Got a light for my work bench with the long adjustable arm for 7 bucks, and 2 matching beautiful oil paintings of ducks in the swamp for 4 bucks each. It was a good trip to Goodwill. I also picked up a pressure switch for my well, that was acting up. Got it installed and all is well with the well! Pretty good day so far!

Nice score.

Is it just me, or has the meaning of the word "score" changed a lot since I was 20?

[BENESSE]

I think the word evolves with abilities.

Not bad Cowboy!

I hit up some garage sales over the past few days. At one place, I got three matching fixed blade knives for 25 cents each. Another place, I got a 5 gallon water container, a 5 gallon kerosene can (2/3rds full still) and a 35,000 BTU kerosine heater for $21. Then I got about $150 worth of fishing gear for $13 and $30 worth of fishing gear for $4. Another place I went to I got a 16" Poulan chainsaw, new wader boots, a machette, a monkey wrench, pipe cutter, set of 8 parts bins, and a short 5lbs sledge hammer all for $15. Yet another place, I got a set of four camping dishes (four large plates, four small plates, four forks, knives, spoons, and steak knives), a pair of realtree hunting coveralls, and a huge steel pot perfect for fire all for $17. At onther stop, In got a brand new, never used coleman propane grill for $10. I'm smilin big time today!

Also, Crashdive, One word with many meanings

CS - Just tell me the paintings aren't velvet ducks. A velvet Elvis I could go with. I don't know about velvet ducks.

Now that right there is funny. I don't care who you are. Wait! What?

But he did say oil paintings. Oil-painted swamp ducks.

[natertot]

.......Oil-painted swamp ducks.

Maybe that is a defence mechanism? Perhaps gators don't like them when they are covered in oil!

[Rick]

Do they come with a dipstick? Oh, wait. The dipstick bought ... never mind.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Ok the ducks ended up being prints of an oil painting, still a very nice scene. The collapsable canteen is leak free but I gotta sterilize it. I am thinking of tossing it a big pot of boiling water. Do you think it can handle the temp?

[hunter63]

Nice score, I wouldn't think boiling water would hurt a canteen.......(to self Must not stop at yard sals, must not stop at yard sales, must not stop at yars sales)

Here's how to cure yourself of yard sales and flea markets. (I did it, so can you!)
Sell your house and vehicles and move into a much smaller apartment in the city. It's painful at first but you get the hang of it eventually.

[Rick]

Just wash it in some clorox water and rinse it out good. It will be sterilized.
