...but today was the icing on the cake.
Day 1. Standing in checkout at not so LGS with new mold in hand. Guys behind me, perfect strangers, start conversation, then one says "you want some lead?" Got address, etc.
Day 2. Called agreed on price and date.
Day 3. Acquaintance here at home calls, says he's got some casting stuff to give me since he's selling out and moving to Arizona. Met up next day and he gives me a partial spool of lead wire and a box with mint Lyman 450 lube-sizer, Lyman, Saeco and Hoch molds!!!
Day 4. Go up north 60 miles, get over 200lbs of mostly pure lead foundry ingots and sheet lead!!!
Today. HVAC guys come to service house and shop furnaces. Bring me a bucket of mostly wheelweights!!!
I guess its OK that I never win the Ohio Lottery.
