cheap thrills

Oh my god, Becky. Have you been to a salvage yard? I never had until today. I went looking for some wheels for an ox cart I am helping to build. There is literally tons of awesome stuff! I found a set of wheels, a set of gears good for attaching to something you want to make ground driven (a piece of machinery that is powered by having its tires turn across the ground rather than by an engine or by a tractor) and a whole bunch of parts for a bucket milker. I'm not really a bucket milker expert, but it looked like everything metal was there and since it was stainless steel, it all looked great. There were even a few pulsators (which you're not supposed to ever get wet but were unfortunately sitting in 3 inches of water. ) I am now on the internet looking to make sure that I can still buy the hoses and inflations for such things. They are not the most modern pieces of dairy equipment, but you can certainly still buy versions that are new. I wonder if its really possible to get a pail milker for ten cents a pound?
