It was pouring buckets this rainy Sunday morning - OK....I can't work in the garden, I can't do yard work, I can't go shooting.....what's a poor boy to do? I got it! Clean the barn!
Moving stuff, putting things where they belong, put all the tools away, test the generator, sweep, move more stuff upstairs into the hay loft....and over in the downstairs corner I came across two 5 gallon buckets with snap lids loaded to the top with raw linotype - letters and spacers. I had totally forgotten that I traded smething or the other for it....I don't even remember what or when.....am I getting senile?
But I am happy to have found it. I will need to smelt it into ingots but who cares? It is there if/when I need it.
Not a bad day after all. Had to be almost 200 lbs of raw linotype. That goes with the 4 25 lb pigs of lino under the bench. I think I am all set for quite a while.
