[TheForge] OT: Government waste

[Jeff Wilson]

DID NOT and DO NOT clean up broken Fluorescent lamps with vacuum.  I was 
around when the experts switched out the shops mercury manometers for dry 
vacuum gauges.  That was an interesting evolution.


I will get LED lighting when the price is more acceptable.  I was going to 
put 12  VDC  LED lamps in the camper until I priced out the initial cost.
Blacksmith content here:
It was equal to a load of Grant's OCP tools! Lord I miss him.  Blacksmith 
Depot has bought Grants remaining stock and and the equipment to carry on 
the manufacture of the OCP line of tools.
