    Good Find (again)

    I swear I am luckier than a dog with two food bowls. Just returned from the thrift store with what they called a throw blanket. It’s 4’ X 5’ and 100% down, for the price of and your not going to believe this cause I found it hard to (drum role please) $1.98 and now thanks to Just Jeff’s video on how to work with down I’ll be able to transfer it to some project without the wife screaming you’ve gotten that stuff it all over the house again. LIFE IS GOOD!

    Here you go with the vid link hppyfngy.

    Dog gone it JBRanger you have done good, and I like the term you use "goodwill hunting" you don't have copy right's on it do you cause that's what I’m going to tell the wife when she ask where you going now. I go every weekend it’s amazing the things you can find if you look hard enough. A few weeks ago I got a brand spanking new, tags still on it down vest for $6.00 too bad it was an XL that two of me could have fit in. So I gave it to my brother in law and you have thought I handed him a winning loto ticket.
