I have one of those portable DVD players and it'll just about handle two average length movies on a charge, maybe a slightly bit more. When I was doing the chemo early on, I'd charge it up overnight and take it, a couple of movies and some ear buds and sit through the roughly three to three and a half hours while plugged into the machine that pumped their poison into me. It made the time go pretty fast. I have roughly 1,100+ DVDs to choose from. I started picking them up from flea markets, swap meets. pawn shops and yard sale when my wife started showing signs of dementia. I just never stopped when she passed.
When the chemo emo ended and I started radiation, that was every day. The treatment lated less than ten minutes. Then they held off a bit and started a different form of combination treatment of radiation and chemo. That session was usually 4.5 to 5 hours long. So, I brought a book with me.
Seems after a treatment they have these lead vials that held whatever they used. They usually threw them away or maybe sold them as scrap. One day the nurse came up to me and asked me if I had any use for lead? Now I hadn't ever mentioned being a shooter or reloader or anythng of the sort so that surprised me. I said that could use some so she said they had a bunch of the vials that were used to hold radioactive materials and I was welcome to take them. She brought one out for me to see and I'm guessing it weighed close to four pounds, give or take. Estimated weight is approximately 140+ pounds. These things are I'm positive for all practical purposes 100% pure lead.
At 87 years old, I doubt very much I'll be casting any balls for BP shooting so I should sell the stuff. Shipping would be prohibitive in cost so the offer is for anyone within driving distance of Tucson.
