[SEL] Bill's Selling a toy

[John Neth]

The house we live in now had no indoor plumbing or electricity until 1980  when my father bought it from a 96 year old lady.  We still have the two seater down the path.  I think the last real use was around '95 when a winter storm took out power for over a week.  Real handy to have as a back up but chilly.
