The Chicken Rustler's cracking me up.  He sends me texts with pictures of where my son's origami Yoda is visiting.  So awesome!

Now, just to be VERY clear, she says "bu...K...eye," to avoid any possible misinterpretation.  (and no, she still can't remember the name Lucy.)

So I'm very intrigued with the idea of building a small trommel.  Here's a small wheelbarrow size version made out of 5 gallon buckets:  http://www.instructables.com/id/Powered-Wheelbarrow-Trommel-1/
