The first pic was people who put out a former tenants crap that he was storing in their garage, the rest are shots of dumping grounds and people that like living in a pigsty. The big mess was supposed to have been picked up by another organization 3 weeks ago but they chickened out, unfortunately I came across it. My main focus was to get rid of all the piles of junk so that at least the **** piles were gone.

No rain today but likely showers tomorrow is what they are saying Steve.
I`m going to order new front signal lights for my 53 with double filament bulbs for signals lights John.
Wow, that`s a lot of junk! After a tenet moved out from one of my farm acreages I hauled 8 tandem gravel truck loads of mostly old building material, I made good use of my Bobcat to load it all. I dug a burn pit on the farm so I didn`t have to haul it any distance.

William, the kid that was from the FLCA was really grateful that I put in all 3 days as he said it was just to much work. Heres a laugher, he lives 1 block over from me on 45th and has the same house number as me and I know his neighbor from about 4 years ago. He moved into his house 2 years ago in October and I moved into this place in October of last year.

That`s pretty interesting, sometimes it`s a small world.

This neighborhood is pretty small sometimes and a reputation can go a long ways, the Lebanese lady that lived across the street from me in the last place is hooked up with the Lebanese lady on the corner and she has relatives throughout the neighborhood, including the guy that owns the corner store that I go to.

If your park lights are in good shape and can still be used you can just buy the replacement pigtails to convert to 12 volt dual purpose. I was going to buy a new pigtail but repaired the one I had..
