RANDOM ESTATE SALE POST

sigh, WHY didn't take a picture of the nicely veneered dining table? and the nice chair? house rather boring. as was the house contents. good because treasure traders costs more. i kept it under $4. shame i had to wait and sat in the nice chair. went thru the basket of cards. took 3 that might be ebayable. the greyhounds might. also found an old hoyle's card rule book. but in the kitchen a old whipper with a nice handle for ebay. but for me maybe. a danish plate. prefer the one i have with vikings and foxes. love the fox set. wonder if there had been a little cup,
got a little book of churchill quotes.

SATURN'S DAY SCHLITZ BLOGGING

near the end of my time at schlitz, we had a special big job doing some windows and such for bar areas of a st. louis casino. also at this time the main cutter, mike, in the middle was diagnosed with lung cancer. his brother david worked at schlitz in the office and did taping when we needed it. i started doing basic cutting on this job. we had to do about 16 of these windows. some square, some rectangle. almost like assembly line work. but damn, after this, my soldering and micheles was outstandingly good. we could whip it out in no time. might be mike's last window. he wasn't the best cutter, but his shades had good color touch. did execllent oriental poppies. just had to rind his more. but WAY better than best 'cutter' john. never had to fix a mike shade.
