I should shoot one of the shelves Phil built for me just before I found these - Oh and they were pretty much empty... [ATTACH=CONFIG]329776[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]329779[/ATTACH] more shelves - Give Phil a round of applause. He deserves it!!! He is such an enabler. Now he opens up a case and tells me what is in it - he's usually closer to right than I am.
I have to find room for 20 more machines and a LOT more cabinets on Tuesday.

There are quite a few godzilla of all sorts, quite a few potted, quite a few 15 3/4 size and larger as well. Quite a few plastic machines as you can see above

[ATTACH=CONFIG]329785[/ATTACH]
real light weight and they came in awesome cases or cabinets - I just don't know much about them.

yes he threw in a bench and I found an old wooden ironing board too...
We have to get some room made for the next batch of machines.

Oh and I said there was one that might treadle. It was in a very bad case - it was just thrown in the case. We left the case there - smelled pretty bad and was pretty crushed up. Not original for sure. Here is the treasure - it will go to Glenn next time we go down there. [ATTACH=CONFIG]329787[/ATTACH]
it is VERY small Here it is next to the Vindex Special - the Vindex is much taller and longer. This little machine is missing a slide plate though. [ATTACH=CONFIG]329788[/ATTACH]

Nancy, get some chickens or ducks and that will get rid of your slugs. Missed you last night. Kathie

Kathie, didn't Loretta tell you where I was or Helga? I was on a horse all day - 8 till 4:00 - and just too exhausted to come! Sorry. By the time I got home, put my horse away, and cleaned the grit off of me - it was just too late! Loretta and I are going to Runs With Scissors tomorrow - want to come?

Well, the snakes don't like horses! They all moved out when we moved in - the vibration on the ground from a horse irritates the snakes!

I have read about beer, orange peels, lots of stuff, but the best advice I found was to just pick them off! The toads eat tons of them, so do the frogs, but they aren't keeping up! I am going to find a place that sells toads and make houses for them! We have chickens, but they are banned from my back yard! They destroy my flower beds with their scratching!
