Hm, I think that we should open "American Stationary Steam Engine Society", or ASSES.

darn - that's my line - exploit ambiguity - how about this

I am looking for aficionados of elderly stationary engines who would like this wonderful thing I am offering....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I would like to meet some elderly aficionados of elderly stationary engines, especially those whose memories are not yet failing.

there are a few still around, some of who remember stuff, but they are fading fast- a good starting point is the society I mentioned

I'm a member in an International Conchologist Societies - a Shell group - members are from Universities and museums as well as researchers and collectors. I'll give a speech at the Yearly meeting this year.

Some of the regional or sectional clubs - have really scandalous sounding names. ASSES is along in the style. They are full of PHD's and such - and have a good sense of humor outside of work!

--A Shell group? Gack! --My all time fave is the Sierra National Atmospheric Research Lab, aka SNARL. Not bad for a gummint lab, eh? ;-)

Least I can go out and blast something without having to step on something. An upside is shell food post collecting...

Used to live on a 1.5 mile long 500 yard wide and 6 foot tall island.
