<<Yep... odd thing about names... >> We have a Little America, bar and two houses. Durfermiling, that's a mouthful and three Unions, my mother died at one where a guy made super sausage. His secret was to use an electric skillet and tilt it. Drain the grease, fed it to the cats. You ever tried Fit? It's a wash for veggies. Gets rid of 80% more dirt and pesticides.

Okay! The STUFF is a Naval Spotlight c 1900. Solid copper. Minus lens, but thassokay. It's brown and green and nicely built. The light canister is about 10" in diameter. It is mounted very coolly, so that it will turn in two directions, by manual remote control. You could be inside in a howlin gale, or thru ten feet of armor, and see whatever you want. Well, if there was a hole in the armor to look out. And then "they" could just shoot the light. But at least you wouldn't get wet. See because there's this copper rod coming out of the mounting base, that's enclosed inside a tube. When the rod spins the light rotates, and when the tube spins the inclination changes. There's a set of bevel and rack gears for turning the directions. You can see them. It's weather proof, patinaed, and really kind pretty. I can make up a lens and light for it, and put it atop my wall at the edge of the land, or attach it to the side of the house. Maybe have it come on, when someone crosses the beam. Tzink!! I'll see if I can get a picture of it. Could put it on the van, too. I don't know yet; I just got it. Somewhere in the garden. I kind of like it on the house. With a bat template maybe. Or to scare people and cats.
