All I ever did was build great boats for anyone that wanted them.....I care not what you choose to do with that boat once its fully paid for !! I also built some great boats for law enforcement too !! I'm a craftsman and enjoy building fine boats !!

I wish I had your talents bart.

I learnt early on in my scrapyard career to accept folks on how they accepted me. I called one guy's load early on in business, and he lost it, he stated that he was going to take my melon off with a shotgun.
Guy left and the other customers asked me if I knew who that was? "No" I replied.
"Well that was KK and he carries a sawed off double barrel behind the seat most times, and you should be more careful"
I called th LEOs and they showed up-ran the guys name. 11 computer screens of priors-last one was a warning "DO NOT APPROACH" Call ETF. Kind of message.
"Oh we'll pick him up on his next appearance" And drove away! Leaving me with sweaty arm pits.

So to make a long story short I gained a whole lot of respect for life.
Treat me kind-I treat back like wise-No matter what history one carries.

My new business motto
Name?
Reply "Joe"
Good enough for me
That's your scrap?
Reply "Yes"
Good enough for me

Over the years and times I was questioned on loads by the LEOs-my reply was always the same. I called-you drove away-I still have my melon. They understood the simple logic of my business plan. Most times I got a sorry in reply.
Life is strange really and who we touch. In the morning dealing with a dude that had spent decades in prison on the instalment plan (Really treated us with respect, because we didn't judge) In the afternoon sitting in the office of the former owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs enjoying a mutual respect for each others talents.

Tell us about his brewery.

https://www.islamoradabeerco.com/?age-verified=753380e489 we have a distillery to ECS....by the way we took the gutiar to a luthier in Orlando for the final adjusting and tuning !! Shes all done with a good bill of health ready to rock !! He shimmied the neck pocket and adjusted the saddles. Some tensioning of the torsion bar too. Were waiting to get it back to show off to our musician friends. Sadly a great local and somewhat famous musician was killed in traffic on his bike last week. We so wanted to let him jam at the local bar with this guitar......RIP grateful ted....we will all miss you. Run over by a tourist in a mad rush to get to keywest !!

Very nice display bart.
I have only one bronze spike-Roman, a nice keeper in my books as well.

You guys would have liked grateful ted !! So sad to loose him down here...the highway got him....like so many other friends and pets.https://keysweekly.com/42/grateful-ted-hyde/

I have herd of spike heads on pirate ships being stamped with decorative symbols.....I think mine has been counter sunk with a punch. I've never seen one like this though almost looked like a mark.

I too still remember milk and chocolate milk being delivered to our door back in the late-60s and early-70s.
I guess my daughter is a lot like me... in the way that she's more nostalgic then I've given her credit for.

I am nostalgic, to a fault! But, I have a small problem. I finally decided to put a recent spoon back to work. Its just an ONEIDA stainless, but it was soooo shiny! I loved the design too.

But, even though I'm not a true germaphobe, I'm still having trouble with this idea.

I've used my "Nuclear, Electrolysis, Microwave, Ultrasonic, Chemical Powerwashing, Pressure cooking, Annealing furnace, acid bathing, Cleaning machine". And I'm still having trouble convincing myself its ok now.

Thankfully we didn’t catch one! The ones from Erie stink something terrible!

I'm still in shock ..... probably one of the most expensive silver treasure fleet coins a person can find !! Man it feels good to say I've found one !!

Bart,

Beauty of a coin is that the Mexico or Spanish mintage version?
