Personally, I like all of the hanging plastic containers the best.

Just some random wood beams, I saved them because they are probably worth a million dollars with current lumber prices.

I did find two old tractor manuals for you to admire.

So my parents are on a 2 week long road trip/vacation so I have taken this as an opportunity to clean out all the random crap in the garage while my hoarder dad can't interrupt.

Got in tonight and can't wait to get to work tomorrow....

Finished the easy half of the garage.

Almost done with the second part

Here is the junk pile outside (my dad claims he is going to get a dumpster dropped off from the city but I have a sneaking suspicion that some of this crap will make it back inside)

Biggest pain in the ass? Besides the X amount of caked in cat/mouse crap would be all the god damn nuts/bolts/pipe valves/etc that fell out of boxes and I had to sweep/shovel up. Also soooooo many half filled coffee tins filled with that crap.

I put all the random half filled jugs of chemicals and buckets of grease/oil/lubricant/Poison in a corner because I'm pretty sure I shouldn't burn them. Here are some old timey farmer chemicals for you to admire.

We broke out 250 acres of pasture this spring and it's kind of sad to look at now but I can't wait to start cashing more subsidy checks at cat ranch LLC.

ben ji · « **Reply #3984 on:** May 22, 2021, 09:07:33 PM »

We still have around 150 acres of pasture left that the state of KS is paying us to leave ungrazed for the next year under some conservation program. It looks lush as crap since it rained this year.

I spotted a couple prairie dogs out there (LOL).

the pasture looks great. i would have sold the place before cleaning out that building.

ben ji · « **Reply #3986 on:** May 22, 2021, 10:21:49 PM »

Found this old timey tool hanging in the garage. Some sort of scythe or weed cutter?

There is a whole nother butler building that needs to be tackled on another trip

Lady and Milo were chilling next to the mini pony pen and Trevor decided to charge them and show them who is boss.

Tom, I am saving these old possibly flame throwers for at least 24 hrs until you tell me if they are worth any money or not.

ben ji · « **Reply #3990 on:** May 22, 2021, 10:55:21 PM »

Kinda drunk now and might just keep cleaning for a while. I've worked my way past my dad and uncles random junk and am now finding some of my gpas junk. It's basically archeology at this point.

Found a popcorn tin that had all their tax returns from the 60's. In 1965 my grandparents had/declared 5k in income (40k in today's dollars). They didn't even buy the current cat ranch until the early 70's.

A tackle box that has not been opened in years

I'll give you $20 for one of those flame throwers. Also, have we talked about Trevor before?

Make it $60 for all three. I'll be driving through KC next month.

i can confirm that those flamethrowers are old.

No I just named Trevor this weekend. He is the only mini pony that has checked me out weekend.

ben ji · « **Reply #3996 on:** May 23, 2021, 01:07:52 AM »

But yeah, those flamethrowers are yours for $60 unless tom gets on here and tells me they are worth hundreds.

Actually I might save one just to pull out as a power move to light cigars with.

Oh, you need a light? Brb
