my task for today was to clean up my father's shed before it's torn down and hauled off. anything you can imagine inside. found this neat antique outboard. there's everything from brand new airplane battery never filled with acid, sails for the sailboat sunk during Andrew, things I have no idea what they are for, boxes of brand new fuel gauges and other parts for our old tugboat to brand new starters and generators for large marine diesels. and just about a truck load of assorted new filters for who knows what. got a 16 ft trailer load of stuff too good to throw away but also things I have no use for. and this is the small shed. the big shed(s) have everything from airplane landing gear and props to VW motors. And everything in between. I think he was a bigger pack rat than me.
