I knew a guy when I was a kid who would get old used TVs wherever he could find them. He was a whiz with electronics and he would fix the TVs. Then he would watch TV with a loaded pistol and when something he didn't like came on TV he would shoot the screen.

Maybe this is where he ended up.

Probably an air compressor. The drills and tools that move were run on pneumatic power.

Make an offering to the Valve God and your plumbing will never bad.

So Motts, do you keep a note pad with you these outings so you can jot stuff like that down?

The chair that is upsidedown on the table behind the red chair is an Eames chair. If it is in good condition it's worth a few hundred bucks.

Looking at this picture gives me a sinking feeling.

Yes, and there is a term for stealing things that do not have much value -- petty theft.

I live far away, but making a note anyway.

--Building 7, 10th floor, NO!

It's a defense tactic. Disguise yourself as barbed wire.

I bought the contents of an old shed and when my wife and I cleaned it out we found a few cat skeletons. Nobody killed them, those cats just got stuck or found a place to take their last nap.

I suppose references to Kesey get worn out on these posts.

Hedy: "Yeah, imagine being pushed in a wheelchair down this.....very unnerving."

And even more unnerving, you can't see anybody pushing you!

Mwa ha hah hah.

Actually, this one could be even older. Look at the cord. Looks like one of those thick, round, cloth-covered cords. They stopped using those in the early '50s.

Lubricant and a stuck elevator. Hmmmm.......

If you look to the right of those pictures you can see that a partition was put in. You can't see the window that is visible in the upper photo. The floor molding was never replaced. Looks like the pipes below the ceiling were added later as well as the wall socket to the left of the plaque alcove.
