Thanks.
And about that swamp and the birds ... if your luck runs anything close
to mine, you need to get back there soonest. They're probably already
leaving, and for sure if you wait until next weekend they're going to be
gone.

Crappy phone pics taken of it, as found, before cleaning up the blade:

Sounds good. A PESO for the flooring saw would help.

Like a few others on this list, I enjoy going to thrift stores,
antique stores, & garage sales. (Haven't been to many garage sales
lately). This weekend I found a few small prizes:
1) A nice wooden cigar box, from which I hope to make my first
three-string cigar box guitar. It is a bit small, but I've seen others
made successfully with this size so I think I will "give it a go".
2) A 24 exposure roll of Kodak 110 film (expired 06/2004) still in the box
3) A "patented Dec. 12, 05" flooring saw (the first I have ever seen
"in the wild"). It appears to be a Geo. Bishop design, but the blade
etch indicates it was sold by Norvell-Shapleigh (an old hardware
company in the U.S.). It looks a bit like a Klingon-inspired weapon
for hand-to-hand combat.
4) A Minox GL, purportedly the smallest full frame 35mm film camera
ever made. This one does not appear to have the killer corrosion in
the battery compartment, but I still need to do the battery
replacement hack and test it out. It seems to be prized in the
lomography world, particularly by street shooters. It is in good shape
and still has the little plastic hot shoe protector in place.
And I got to storm chase on Sunday, but came up empty on tornadoes. I
was in the neighborhood, but these were high precipitation beasts and
I didn't care to take my chances inside. Several small Nebraska towns
experienced some significant damage yesterday. I'm sure there will be
more reportage on that today.
On the way I discovered a lowland swamp area that was filled with
these gorgeous white heron-like birds, sitting in branches, in the
water, etc. However, I had stupidly left my Bigma home, so I will have
to marke the spot and go back another day. It was the sort of place
that makes you feel that you have left Nebraska and entered an exotic
foreign land - if only briefly.
