[AT] Tires and tubes

[Mike Sloane]

As Cecil has seen, my barn is full of Stuff that I jut might need some 
day. :-) And a few old tubes are among them (the relatively decent ones, 
not the really old and brittle ones). Just yesterday, I cut a piece off 
one to use where the side panel of my Ford 145 LGT was vibrating against 
the frame and driving me nuts. Square hunks go under the batteries to 
protect the bottom of the tray,  1/2" wide circles cut across the tube 
make great "rubber bands" for holding stuff, and so on. Think of an old 
tube as raw material - thin rubber sheeting. The only limitation is that 
they don't do well exposed to sunlight, but there are other materials 
for those applications.

If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed,
given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
