We needed to buy some plate aluminum from the scrap yard today. As they were weighing the plate I happened to notice a Dadant junior 2 frame extractor so I had them throw that in with the order. $36! It's in great shape too. I'll have to clean it up a bit but other than that it's ready for service. I use a commercial extraction service when we pull honey, but this will come in handy if we just want to extract a few frames.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

I can't figure out why in the world someone would sell it for scrap. They could have gotten at least $150 for it on craigs list.

And yes, I'm feelin' pretty lucky...might have to try my hand at the lottery today!
