Stopped at a local flea market today to pick up a Gadsden flag. Walking around looking at all the crap people was selling when a box on a table caught my eye. I opened the box and it had 500 Hornady 35gr Vmax's, 500 40gr vmax's, 500 55gr vmax's, New Redding 22 Hornet dies, a Lee Factory crimp die for 22 hornet, one lb of 4227, and 1k of CCI small rifle primers.

I asked the lady how much for the box and she said!!!!

Something went right today! However, when I got home the Hot water heater had shit to bed and the basement was flooded. $450 later and a sore back from humping the old one out and the new one in I wonder if it was pay back for the $5 buy!

Be loading some 22 hornets. Need to dust off the old model 40 and put a few down range!

Some of the spoils of flea market shopping!

Look at it the other way around.... Your water heater was already "blowing" when you arrived at the swap-meet. Someone was watching out for ya, and blessed you with a deal.

Things work out in the end.

The hot water heater leaked a little in my house.
The insurance paid $30k.

I know another guy who had all the sheet rock replaced in the whole house, even the upstairs, after the hot water heater leaked. He got a lawyer to get the most out of the insurance. That was > $100k.

Call the insurance right away.
If it is like my situation, they send over a half dozen guys in uniforms with de-humidifying equipment that will use all the 220 Volt power you have.

Lots of guys will be sent.
The floor replacement guy was a hunter.
The trim replacement guy's supervisor [program manager] has a license to build suppressors.


The anode, in the hot water heater, is sacrificed at a steady rate.
You either replace the anode or the whole heater.

I now have a collector and electric monitors.
No one ever falls for the leaky water heater twice, but the same house will get it twice, when under new management.
