Part of my retirement plan is to clean the gun rooms & then the basement in general. Eventually.

Worked on the spare gun room (used to be my dark room) today & tossed a BUNCH of junk which mostly related to chemical photography. Cut film holders for my Speed Graphic - old letter filters - adapters... put all that in a box & free to a good home if anybody still uses old cameras. Also have a few old film cameras free to a good home. Mostly Olympus pen & EE. Might work - might not.

Tossed a lot of chem. photography stuff. Hardly anybody messes with that anymore.

Moved a big stack of junky rifles (I used to buy u fix 'ems 5 at a whack for cheep to get one good one) and found an oil painting I scored at a garage sale many moons ago. Older daughter grabbed that.

Lo & behold I found an 8# keg of bullseye = about 4# left and most of a 4# keg of red dot. I'll put that to good use in 38 & 9mm!

Made a trip to the dumpster & nap time now! I'm liking this retirement biz! SW

i gave up my dark room when i moved here - in 08/82 , ive not missed it - yet those were good times , a lot of overnights dodging and burning , all B&W and it only took ten more years to loose my enlarger and chemicals/trays/etc , the library , cameras/lenses/filters/bags and all ,

i used my equipment heavily in my work for years then things changed , i like the digital - im still behind the times these days tho , but i only use it for these sites and documenting for insurance , sometimes to capture an event - but rarely , others do that better now ,

ive got to kick into cleaning mode .................................really i do ....

You never know what you might find! I was darn glad to find that powder! SW
