BTW: That "Little Tike's Auto Salvage" is my neighbor's yard. Saw that and just had to post it. Funny, @SamR posted his scrap yard photo before me.

 

I am still PO'd at Lady Bird Johnson for making them put up Non-See-through fences around auto scrap yards! Used to be you could car shop at em driving along the road. I bet she never envisioned all the unsightly godawful ugly old tin roof scrap and other scrap sheet metal they'd use to do it with. She also failed to consider all those auto graveyards on the side of hills much higher than the fences. She ruined a good thing and didn't even make Bubba do it for all those DUI wrecks in his front yard.

My grandma made lye (lard) soap from pigs. That was good for cleaning small children and horse blankets.

I need a shower after that.

Follow up: is there anything bacon can't do?

When the cracklins start to float, then you know the lard is done.

In theory, everything works in practice.

In practice, not so much.
