Where is he? Vacation? Seeking oddball metal junk art?

Should I......Should I be insulted? I don't mind that word junk, it's that word "oddball" I don't think I like. There's nothing odd about me, or my balls.

YOU KNOW WHAT I GOT TODAY???!!!!!!!

Z O W W E E D L E S !!!!!


You wouldn't guess, so I might as well skip the "Q" part of the Q and A Period.

I like stainless steel, you know. One of my counters is stainless. I really like it. As a material. One of the nice things is it's super-weatherproof-ness. You can leave it outside or make fountains out of it or anything that needs to be permanently tough. It is hard to weld, though; but so you just assemble it. Don't weld it. Big deal.

I have a big can of stainless bolts. Very spendy. Yet I digress.

And Techie has a giant stainless tofu cooker tank from an abandoned tofu factory, that we could use for a lid on whatever we make. But I digress.

Different stainlesses cost different amounts, and different gauges. But this I got is very heavy. And it's already been stiffened. I got a hundred pieces, that measure 11.5 by 15.5 inches.

That's a total of 124 square feet. About four hundred bucks worth. Free. Already stiffened. (They have a relief pattern pressed in them.) That's about enough to cover a wall 12 1/2 feet long by 10' high. Or 15 1/2 feet long by 8 feet high.

I'm thinking, nice, for a fountain, or a garage door. Pool shed. Kitchen cabinet doors. Very hi tech and low maintenance and ecological. Fencing. Courtyard fencing. Outdoor shower. (Outdoor showers are THE BEST.) (Get real, man!!!) (You haven't LIVED til you've had your own OUTDOOR SHOWER.)

Can you guess what they are?

Hummmm?

Can ya?

I'm really excited. Can't wait to show Dash.
