greg,
better find out where they sell ramen cheap in Florida, wait til Darby grows up and you find out how much it costs to send someone!!! Here in NM beans and rice are actually cheaper than ramen! I got the pinto beans and onions straight from the farm. And the rice at about $9.00 for a 50# bag. I was on easy street in college, got $155.00 a month from GI bill to pay for tuition, books, and housing. The funniest part is after 9 yrs of working in schools and museums (highly useful degree in history and geography) I decided I couldn't stand it indoors any more. I now work outdoors; most of the time with a pick and shovel, and I love it. I'm not getting rich but I'm happy! Loop content: If you can't find a better offer I'll trade for the clamps I have on my Eldo so you can use the bottom halves, just let me know the width measurement so I can be sure mine aren't the same as what you have or not what you need.
steve
ps my clamps are in good shape and rust free.

Beans and rice...that was for the days when i was feeling rich! I
survived on ramen noodles for my BS, MS, and PhD (ask Gordon what those
initials stand for). I used to watch the paper for ads so that I get
somewhere between 15 and 20 of the little packages for a dollar. Then,
I'd walk down to the grocery store and pick up 10 dollars worth and
carry them back to the apartment.
Now about selling my white blood cells so that I could buy 12 packs of
Meister Brau in a can...I'm just glad I'm not living like that anymore -
it was a rough decade.
