Just came back from the flea market and feel like such an idiot.
Not because I spent far more money than I really have on things I really don’t need but because of what I saw today.
They were selling these old cans of oil (old ones that the companies have long gone out of business.) up there for $32 a can. (Not just listing it as such but was actually selling it to people.)
Now this is the same exact stuff we’ve been using to start fires with for the past 2 years!!!
Same oil, same company, same can. I know we’ve burnt at least 30 or 40 cans of this stuff. We have literally been burning 100s of dollars worth of old oil.
luckily I think we still have about 5 cans left that I may take up next time I go.

Don't feel bad. I have been starting fires with copies of Hunnicut's Sherman book...

Same out here. They just haven’t caught me yet.
(Don’t worry I assure you I’ve only been starting fires in the burning pit and places like that.)

Not to worry, when I was younger, I used the colour pictures out of a space book that my father had. It was "The Conquest of Space" with the paintings of renowned space artist Ray(?) Bonestall. It is now worth a small fortune for a copy in good condition!
