The lengths I have gone, not for nothing, but for nearly worthless things. When Barney, the huge Barney West carving in the Mai-Kai gardens fell over years ago, there was a large hunk of him in the dumpster. Just his belly with a bit of arm on it. I hauled out and put it in a shopping cart nearby. Tiki Hana was there and agreed to take it back home with him to Raleigh. That's about 5-6 hours from my house. I got home and arranged a weekend to go get it. Didn't think about it fitting in the car! Luckily we made it fit in the back seat. Drove it home and put it on a palette under a tarp. That's where it is now, years later. It's too big to do much with, and kind of boring. But I am glad I have it.

And my wife just came it telling me she was lying awake last night thinking maybe we could put it in a corner of the yard we opened up... 7 years later...
