Police investigate. They don't protect.  Conceal carry.  With training in class room and range.  And range should be urban, not straight line.  I don't need to be a good shot at 50 feet.  If yor 50 feet away your not a threat, I'll run.  You need to learn to protect yourself and others without shooting innocents.
I say more people should carry guns as long as they are background checked and trained.

It's amazes me how many shootings there are yet at none is anyone conceal carrying.


Here's my hero:

I've driven to Portland and to Vancouver BC before.  But I'll make it day.  Road trip. Maybe stay over.
Line  up other things.....


But then again, we've been know to drive up to Canada to get lunch.  When I traded in my civic the sales guy was amazed cause I had put almost 18000miles on it in 14 months of owning it......And my commute to work is only 10miles.

Today's hunt I pretty much didn't bring anything home but dirt on my clothes....  

Got some herb/cheese grinders that sell okay but have never seen this brand so don't know.  Swedish, good condition, original box.  No clue yet on what it's worth.
Parts to others that I do sell but .....parts.....nothing match's up.  List them or use to piece together others.

Got another Universal 1 meat grinder.  Haven't sold all the others yet but this one had original box...so basically I bought the box.  The grinder will be used for parts.

That's it.  Looking at resell value of maybe $20.  Perhaps a touch more if parts sell well or if Swedish grinder happens to be worth more than the $5 I've gotten for similar ones.

But only spent $7 today for all that and got myself a set of poultry sheers from Italy, a cast iron pot so I'll top destroying my good one deep frying on the BBQ and a whole big box of misc sand paper.


*Update*
Swedish grinder is LISTED at $17 to $35.   They don't have the four different graters like I do or original box.  So, don't know if anyone actually buys them but, if so, figure mine will go first at $20....maybe....perhaps.....

I was going thru pictures last night of today's estate sales and on the wall, with a bunch of crap, I noticed wht appeared to be a lug wrench.  I kept going back to it and just held my attention.
Had that "I've seen that before" feeling

So went this morn and went straight to it and still didnt know exactly what it was. Put it back.
Got some other items and there was a bunch of old woodworking tools, total crap but figured I don't have any so these will get me buy.....
Asked how much if I took all and lady said $5 if I took it ALL.  About 30lbs of useless drill bits and broken planes, just straight to scrap pile stuff.

Loaded it all and as a second thought grab'd the lug wrench looking thing cause it was just eating at me.

Got home and started researching and it's a hand crank for a Model A!  Total score!!


Well, total score for a car guy like me.  Really isn't worth that much in its condition.
But to ME this is awesome! 

It's currently at the shop being sandblasted and painted.  Ripped apart an old hand meat grinder and wood handle was made to fit.   Have an old shadow box I'm going to frame it in.

Going to try and sell but I'll be happy to just have it as art.

You are correct, sir.   

Im good but would have to be amazing for someone to pay me $60 for a hand.....ah....never mind.... 

Let's say you got a designer cabinet worth 15,000.  You can't really list that on Craigslist for 7500 and expect someone to buy it. 

Lots of antique dealers search craigslist so might not be a bad idea to try.....

Lots of Estate companies have auction house's or store fronts. Take lots of pictures and emial them out.

Who?   

Help me out here.
