If something wants to...Too bad about the paintings. If something wants to be 4x8-feet, it shows when you make it 1x2-feet. You know, the gesture of it just always seems like it wants to be bigger. <br /><br />I have so many paintings hanging on my wall, if I make any more it'll start to look like the Louvre, only not as, umm. good.<br /><br />You know, maybe when you don't feel good it just takes too much energy to throw stuff out, then you just begin to feel overwhelmed and give in to it.Speedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294062505751359294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380304323931971092.post-68246835308750289902011-09-24T06:35:19.201-05:002011-09-24T06:35:19.201-05:00Lary could use 10 of those pods, then I'd have...Lary could use 10 of those pods, then I'd have room for my stuff. I am always looking for a tiny art form because just how many 4X8ft paintings can yo9uhavein a 900sqft house.

Actually, che...I think I'll stick to esoterica.<br />Actually, checking the cupboards I appear to have accidentally amassed quite a large number of vintage valves (vacuum tubes in US-speak) from hi-fi and guitar amps. I know some people collect those intentionally so I might hang on to them.divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380304323931971092.post-55035935801879805262011-09-22T13:08:00.217-05:002011-09-22T13:08:00.217-05:00Yes, there is something cool about insulators and ...Yes, there is something cool about insulators and I haven't figured out why I like them. My 3 for a $1 each was a lucky find; I have my own so am happy. However, when Carl and I went anywhere, we always enjoyed seeing what was being toted down the highway on big flatbed trucks and trying to guess where they might be headed. Sometimes, they were giant versions of the cone-shaped insulators, so big only 4 pair could be fitted on the truck. They each must have been 6 feet tall.<br /><br />So glad you wouldn't be collecting rat pack pods, though you might make a fortune if you were to start the first UK franchise.Speedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294062505751359294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380304323931971092.post-4242503379680399292011-09-22T12:31:42.118-05:002011-09-22T12:31:42.118-05:00Mmmmm … There's something cool about those thi...Mmmmm … There's something cool about those things. If I were going to start collecting esoterica I think they'd be pretty high on my list (the insulators, not the pack rat pods).divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380304323931971092.post-49273764679099826582011-09-22T01:44:23.178-05:002011-09-22T01:44:23.178-05:00Yep, icy blue glass insulators.

I got mine for a dollar each and get pretty huffy when I see $13 or more for them. I'd like to score a pair of those 3-foot tall porcelain insulators that are slender, ribbed cones, brown glaze.<br /><br />For your reference: http://pods.com<br />and 1800packrat.comSpeedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294062505751359294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380304323931971092.post-43647753576437292212011-09-22T01:28:29.637-05:002011-09-22T01:28:29.637-05:00Glass insulators?

I swear I'm the only person in my neighbourhood who can fit a car in the garage. Sure, mine also holds a tumble dryer, a big ol' drawing board, a couple of beds that used to be in the bedrooms that are now a recording studio and a gym, my bike, a lawnmower and several sacks of crap but at least there's still space to squeeze the car in there when it snows.<br />I hope those storage pods don't make it across the pond; my neighbourhood would soon be solid with the things.divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.com
