We have had the Bud Light sign for a long time and we had an

I wasn't using so I cut it into the sign and hooked it to an old
laptop. Now we can run slide shows, videos or even streams if I like.
I am sure Harry thinks it is a silly waste of time but it is my time
and I like making things a little different than what everyone else
has. Once I get everything running right I can hide the laptop in the
garage.

You should be getting a call from Danielle Colby of "American Pickers"
any day now. :-)

A collector would say I destroyed the value of that sign by cutting
the monitor into it. The sign was a gift from a bar owner that my wife
sold an air conditioner to. She was drinking Bud Light in those days.
He was happy that she could get a unit installed the same day and he
did not lose a few days of business.

Most of the stuff out there was collected on vacation. The license tag
collection started in Nassau when I found that tag on a junked truck
bumper that had been parted out on Arawak Cay (west of the docks).
Some of the others were collected in the wild, most came from junk
yards and the one from Juarez may have been stolen to order ;-)
I was sitting in a little cantina, I asked the server if he knew where
I could find an old tag and a few minutes later a guy showed up with
one. It had a current sticker on it.
We always try to find something unusual wherever we are.
