I found that while he does keep a number of machines on display, he also keeps a fairly large number of very rare machines bagged in plastic. LOL Imagine my surprise when he pulled a Crandall out of a plastic bag! <br />I certainly didn't expect to see them in bags, but he's absolutely correct about using them for storage.Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592494181958505613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-35803407832601569112013-02-10T10:13:16.958+11:002013-02-10T10:13:16.958+11:00Your house probably appreciates it more than mine....Your house probably appreciates it more than mine. I often completely lose small parts, only to have them turn up again later. <br /><br />As such, I'm often petrified to vacuum around my desk, until all pieces are located and accounted for.Scott Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13243020164163596709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-61442906040581899292013-02-09T10:09:13.346+11:002013-02-09T10:09:13.346+11:00I don't know how many times I've dropped a...I don't know how many times I've dropped a little piece on the floor and simply been unable to find it again. It doesn't help that my basement floor has flaking green paint that acts like camouflage.

I searched high and low for this immensely tiny piece, but it was nowhere to be found. <br /><br />Later in the night, as I was dozing to sleep on the couch, I removed my shoes and found the piece stuck to the bottom of my sock! How it got there, I have no idea, but I quickly woke up and replaced it. How strange...L Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585495720234064210noreply@blogger.com
