Someone cleaned out their garage today, had a mess of free stuff setting out.

Scored a mess of canning jars and new lids in the boxes (gave to MIL)
Trash bag full of skeins of yarn
2 jars of old buttons
2 angel candle holders
Dremel rotary tool
Some misc sockets
Craftsman electric leaf blower

I love old buttons.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

Found my calves to be more tanned and freckled than ever before. And I like it.  :laugh:

Enough speaker cable to hook up a pair of B&Ws to an amp that I then connected to my synth. :zoinks:

A way to modify an old pool pump to become a very powerful vacuum device capable of drawing up course sand from teh bottom of the pool.

The standard is barely able to draw sand off the bottom, but my mod to the old unit did an amazing job.

Not sure how long this will last, but re-wiring the coils of the pump motor in parallel, beefing up the power cabling, setting in a "venturi effect"  filter bag to catch the sand ...

I am happy.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

It was not that hard really.

I just hope my mod of the power structure does not kill it too quickly.

No, it was a different bag.
