When i was a kid growing up in central Fla on a farm out in the woods. I knew where you could go and find hundreds of those insulators laying all around on the ground out in the middle of no where. They were great for standing up on a limb and target practice with. Never new they would be valuable. Might still be right where i left them many years ago. Keepemcoming

That was a great end of the year video. I was on the snow plow today pushing about 8 inches of some kind of freakish ice snow. I had to stab it with my ruler 📏 just to break through to measure it. Speaking of cold, poor old Gary's fingers keep going numb. They are gonna fall off some day and he will be 2 fingers instead of 2 toes. I watched him build a sluice box one time out of a gutter which looked pretty cool actually. Ask him to stop at his local marina and get a couple of handles and mount them to a gold pan. Would that work? Anyways, I'll be following you all in 2025 and by the way, i like it that you guys post your shows on Mondays. A great way to start my week.
