There's this legit guy who likes to hit up all the garage sales around us who always looks for gold/metals, as well as iPhones or other hot gadgets.
My mom had some single earrings and old bracelets that she never wore that she wanted to find out the price on (she used to make her own jewelry). The guy and his dad actually have a jewelry shop I believe too. He did a scratch test on them, and weight them, my mom got a little over $400. don't got anything to sell, just see a lot of chatter around the internet about people buying and selling gold and silver. |

I also would love to learn how to fiberglass. Any pointers on how to get started (including where to source supplies/material in the Valley) would be appreciated. I've got some boat projects I want to try.
David The West Marine store in Ventura has a pretty good selection of marine resins and cloth so if you have a local store you might want to look there. I know there are sources online where everything can be bought in bulk but I dont know of any supply houses down there but i havent looked either. If you have any questions send me a PM i havent done a whole lot of glassing but ill help you as much as i can. Dave |

Back to work today for me. I've been on vaca for a week, and it's been a busy one.
Weekend last, fished Big Pine Crk a bit and picked up a nice creel. Largest is a 14" Rainbow. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3...0/DSCN2467.JPG Went on my annual Wild Pig hunt this last weekend. Bagged this good sized Boar at 5:30 Saturday morning. We figure he went a little over 200lbs, and he definitely has the best teeth of any pigs I've taken. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-L...0/DSCN2482.JPG Spent a lot of time between trips shopping for a Suzuki Samarai (don't tell the number dummy). Drove several, and just didn't find the one I was looking for at a price I liked. Finally said screw that, and yesterday I bought this. It's an '88, 4.2L 6, 5 speed, 112k miles. A bit rough, plenty of character, and needs a little work. But the bones are good. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-H...0/DSCN2492.JPG |
Glad you had a successful hunt, Bill. Good lookin' pig.
Now, about that Jeep... ....is it going to be a combination commuter/safari vehicle? |
Commuter and a project for sure. Safari? We'll see. I would like to rig it with a tow bar. Then I could hunt out of it. But driving it to the Sierra's or further ain't likely to happen.

I shot that pig on the run, but range was only about 75 yards, maybe 100. Not far. |

Impressive Bill, a porker, jig-n-pig and trusty trout YJ.
Flights out tonight delayed - will try again tomorrow. |
You don't wanna' go transcon tonight, anyway.
Even though the cancellation is probably based on local, take a look at the national weather. Pop |
Nice hog Bill, congrats.:-X22
