    Man, that's way beyond a humble start.

    Yes I can be long winded. Yes I follow rabbit trails. Yes I admit when I am wrong. Your mileage may vary.

    Nothing wrong with what you've got, and it'll just get "worse"!

    Lead collecting turns into an addiction pretty quick. I am always looking.

    It already is an addiction! As soon as I finished melting my wheel weights and casting the ingots I told my wife she needs to find me more wheel weights.

    Maybe she can get me a discount on my truck tires then!

    Actually, she did score some wheel weights yesterday. She was having the truck fixed and asked about wheel weights and the owner said he had half a bucket and would decide on a price and I could pick them up later.
