talk about lucky/sad

Walking down Mission street here in SF to pick-up lunch for my overlord A 99 cent/clothing store was "going out of business" I have said hi to this guy for the last 10 years It was sad. He lost his lease. Plops a reel of what looked like heavy copper wire on the sidewalk. Free I asked he said yes I need to empty out the building. I pick it up 40 pounds 50 pounds? I was close perhaps 200 Ft. #4 stranded USA wire WOW, I had just been looking at the prices on line and short of offering him 20 bucks which he refused. carried it back.

 If it's insulated you've got a definite score and I'd hang onto that wire. ..Willy.

The worn label reads General Cable Kingman AZ. 600 volts oil and gasoline resistant it has a thick black hard coating. and on a wood spool looks like 60's 70's I think I just beat the shopping cart brigade on this one.

WOW How is Flagstaff in the summer Too hot or just right

Flagstaff, or rather the National Forest outside of Flagstaff is just right.&nbsp; Now at 6:14 am it is 47 degrees, will get into the eighties by afternoon.&nbsp; Afternoon thunderstorms have started a few days ago, so it cools off real nice mid afternoon.
