Too busy

Post by TonyB » Sat Dec 19, 2020 9:51 pm

As much as I love my Model T Toohobby and everything that goes with it, I find that it is taking up more time now than I have available.
I am struggling to keep up with the everyday basics of life just now in these most trying times.
Cleaning and cooking and helping maintaining my home.
The garden also takes a lot of time.
So, something has to give.
I have decided to get rid of all my spares and surplus kit.
Below is a list of what is available.
Serious inquiries only.
I would like this stuff to go to good homes please.
…. And please, no silly low offers!
Thanks for reading and for your understanding.
Here is what I have:
1. Vacuum cleaner
2. Broom and dustpan
3. Mop and bucket
4. Lawnmower
5. Leaf blower
6. Laundry detergent
7. Iron
8. Toilet brush
Thank you.

Tony- keep the bucket and toilet brush. You will still need to wash the T, and the toilet brush can be used to clean between the spokes.

Tony, Steve Jelf called and wants to turn the leaf blower and lawnmower into paint sprayers. What is your asking price? Word is he's using recycled tobacco juice as paint now since it is historically correct.

Sorry, Tony! I don't need any of those for my Model T's, and I have a full set for cleaning the house already.
Have a good Holiday, and my the New Year bring better times and more time to enjoy the hobby.

Agreed, getting rid of that stuff should free up some time. I never put my digging pick away because I knew no one would take it! Still have it, @#$%&**

Keep it simple and keep a good junk pile if you want to invent something :P
