This is a lovely phone picture of Bones from around Christmas time.



He's not historical or even particularly special but he is the coolest piece of loot I ever got from vacant apartments while I was doing apartment maintenance for five years. He has random poo poo I found around the same period around his neck and his skirt is literally a wee little fake velcro Santa beard I put around his boney waist. He chills out near my computer next to whatever beer cans I haven't thrown out yet in a given night as you can see from the twin Yuengling tallboys.

This is a 1939 American Stove Company "Magic Chef" stove.

I live in an area that is pretty much surrounded by pretty rural-ness. Out in the boonies they have this gigantic three day long garage sale and my wife and I decided to go. We stopped at this trailer home on a basically unmaintained piece of property and immediately noticed it. After some haggling with the rather methy looking folks they settled at $65.

I got it home and started doing some research. This thing turns out to be super versatile. Back when this thing was made not everyone had access to natural gas so alot of folks used propane to power their gas burning stoves. Because of this, this stove came with valves at the end of each burner to change the flow from natural gas to propane. The only thing I had to change was the orrifices and disable the flame-thrower lighting mechanism and this stove is ready to become my outdoor summer canning and cooking staion.

We're in the process of rearranging our back porch to turn it into an outdoor kitchen so It's not entirely assembled but here is the stove itself:





And here are the burners and connecting hardware:



The valves all work:



And the oven and broiler are both in fully working order:



All that's left is to get a propane tank and fire it up!

I used to repair wheelchairs and such for work. I had one client with MS who our company took on after all the other mobility dealers in town had written her off as too difficult to handle. She was a three hour drive away so she understood that any work she needed would not be timely, but she had no other choice. She immediately warmed up to me because I was good at my job, I didn't bullshit her with stuff she didn't need like all the other companies did and I fixed a ton of stuff that they had done wrong.

In her foyer, she had a glass case with all these awesome hand sculpted and hand painted ceramics of birds, raccoons, marmots, moose, all kinds of animals. They were awesome. I always admired them, but even more so when she told me that she made them all herself. She never sold them, gave very few away, just made them for herself and put them on display to any visitors. Unfortunately, MS being the bullshit that it is, she was no longer able to make these things. She couldn't even sign her name anymore. She hated that she couldn't make them anymore and she would often look at them longingly.

When I was moving to a new city, she gave me this family of ducks here. I told her I couldn't accept them because she could never make them again and I knew how much that upset her, but she insisted.

When I was leaving, her daughter who lived in the basement saw me with the ducks and accused me of stealing them. She said that there was no way that she would give away one of her most prized possessions to some kid who fixed her chair a handful of times a year when she's been asking for one for years. She flipped out when her mom confirmed that she did indeed give them to me.

lovely camera phone does not do these things justice
