It was a good day today! I also sold the drift boat for 800 bucks, and an industrial sewing machine for a thousand bucks! Not a bad day at all...

Roy great advice... I love gin and tonic. Tonic has quinine in it (that's why the Brits drank them, to stave off malaria) and the lime wedge will keep me from getting scurvy. See it's a health drink!

I wish! No, it's the concrete building across from my shop. The one with a 24" reinforced concrete roof with the 18' ceilings.

Several buildings were hardened on the base. I've got the blueprints for most of the buildings. The main operations building (the one we call "the bomb shelter") was built to withstand a 1 megaton bomb within a half mile.


The walls on the building I just bought are 12" think and reinforced...

Today is a very good day. My buddy Mikey got out of the hospital last night, I bought another building from the LLC yesterday and sold two rigs!
