I got a deal on a batch of linotype and had to get it moved today. I found out some very interesting data in the process.

#1 You can put 240 pounds of lino in a 5 gallon bucket.

#2 I can't lift 240 pounds anymore

#3 If you do lift 240 pounds in a 5 gallon bucket the bottom falls out.

#4 Even 100 pound buckets are no fun to load into the trunk of a car.

#5 When you drop the lead off in the garage don't set it behind the wife's car even for a little while

#6 There is nothing like the warm fuzzy feeling of looking at a 1/2 ton of lead and knowing it's all MINE!

A yes the good old days. When we were young and easily could life a 100lb bucket off the ground into the truck. Now someone does it for us. I have a bucket full of range scrap that I have had for some years. Every time I get the energy to clean out the garage its all I can do to just slide it out of the way. Frank
