Wife and I were at Taco Bell eating lunch today and while looking out the window while eating I noticed a truck pull up and park beside mine. Older gentleman got out and I noticed him bend down and pick something up while at the back tires of my truck and then threw the item into the back of his pickup.
I told my wife I sure would like to know what it was he picked up, just curious if it was a wheel weight and maybe he was into casting also. I personally don't know anybody else that casts and it would be nice to know someone else local that enjoys this like myself.
I thought it was a wheel weight he picked up and jokingly asked my wife why she didn't see it when she got out. Just so happens the man and his wife sat down at the table next to us so I just couldn't help myself and started a conversation with him.
I asked him if he was into casting his own bullets or fishing sinkers because I thought he might have picked up a wheel weight lying on the pavement. He replied that he had picked up a screw that was lying close to the back tire of the truck he parked next to and didn't want that person to get a flat.
I told him that was my truck and I thanked him for doing this and maybe saving either myself or someone else from getting a flat. As the conversation continued I told him how hard wheel weights were to get now and he informed me that he was a plumber and he had access to pure lead ingots and if I gave him my phone number he would supply me with a couple ingots. I'll have to wait and see if anything comes of this but I don't have any pure lead and would like to have some for use in my muzzle loader. :)
