Do you have any gear that was outright given to you?

If you restore 1 thing, and think of him every time you see or touch it, that's a gift.

@gkelly 

That's a great story. Well done.

Might as well have given you an invoice for 3K.

I inherited a 47 ft Yacht, like the saying goes, a boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into. There's more to the story, but you get the drift.

Your father had good sense. When going to college in Brooklyn, NY, the general rule was: if on or next to the trash can, good chance it's ok; in the trash can, forget it.

My 1st wife made me carry home 3 legged chairs, must have had 30 of them in the basement of the brownstone basement where we rented. I swapped parts, got many on all 4s, what I remember most was how quickly they would disappear when I put them out near the sidewalk. Gone in minutes.

Good Karma Indeed!
