    I got the stand finished and it came out quite nice. The base has a bigger footprint then before and it's nice and sturdy.



    I started scrapping when I was about 5 years old. I would pull my wagon down the alley ways in Minneapolis. I would look for things that had copper and things I could trade or sell. Did alright as the scrap yards were just a few blocks away from me. The copper price was about .30 a pound, (I looked it up as my memory of what copper was back then is far in the back of my mind). But back then you could buy a lot with .30 cents.

    When I first saw a TV set I was about 3 or 4. I was more interested in what's inside then the programing. I didn't start watching TV until I was 20 and that was so I could see what was making people act the way that they did. These days I only watch recorded media. Haven't watched so called TV in many many years.

    I have learned that I've never had any real peers as I'm wired a lot differently then the normal and unnormal folks. I'm a anomaly simply put.

    The things I want to talk about are not very popular in a world that loves it's fantasy and fictions far more then reality and truth. But I'm comfortable with that as it's the way things are.

    I have no religion. Follow no sports and see politics in much the same way as religion or sports. I don't require a list to follow as I make my own lists.

    I'm much the same today as I was over 60 years ago. Just have a grey beard and I'm larger in size.
