I went by one of my favorite dumpsters yesterday and dug out two perfectly good patio umbrellas(along with some other treasures). I went back today and found the poles. I built the base using a 5 gal bucket filled with concrete. Now I can work with my equipment out in the blazing sun and with a little drizzle(like now with Dennis passing through.)

Good goin' Larry. A little creativity goes a long ways when recycling things.
Where are the lawn chairs and iced tea? ;)
They are on the front porch next to the refrigerator...

If we are getting into off topic gloats...
I bought a skydiving rig at a garage sale for $18. I thought my kids would enjoy seeing how it works.
My wife suggested putting on eBay instead. I got $170 for it. And... the buyer is delighted with the bargain he got. How's that for recycling!
Remember:

My, Oh, My!! I just wanted to share something I had made and my sharing has evolved into a discussion oral sex.... I must be more careful next time.

Sex? It sounds more like a discussion of baby feeding.
