Detailed image of Chesterton-brand asbestos packing material with splayed-end.
There are literally several thousand distinct asbestos products and respective applications collectively known as "asbestos products"; this image depicts but a single brand and one type of an often overlooked asbestos material: packing.
Essentially a very durable rope-like material, asbestos packings can range considerably in thickness and construction (e.g.- braided, twisted, rubber/metal composite, round, square, etc.). Most packings are typically handled by dry cutting with hand-saws or serrated knives and are usually crudely extracted from mechanical parts by picking the asbestos material apart piece-by-piece with simple corkscrew-type implements, which can create potential conditions for airborne asbestos exposure during routine maintenance activities.
There are a few other applications for asbestos packing materials, however asbestos packing was most commonly used for creating internal seals around industrial pump shafts and pipe valve stems. As much as 1/2-pound (or more) of asbestos packing could be installed inside each large pump or pipe valve housing ("stuffing box") and are oftentimes not even considered during asbestos surveys or exposure assessments primarily due to their inherent concealment inside mechanical components.
Example of a vintage pipe valve labeled as Walworth, with revealed asbestos packing around the valve stem, after being partially disassembled.
Some basic maintenance of mechanical systems that contain these valves sometimes requires personnel to dig out the fibrous asbestos textile material from inside the valve for replacement, oftentimes on a routine basis where dozens or hundreds of pipe valves might be present at a facility or within certain waterborne vessels.
I am planning on moving this weekend and spent some of this evening getting some packing done. I don't have a ton of stuff to move, but I always forget just how many books I own and how much space they take up. I've filled 3 boxes with just two shelves of books already! Only 4 more shelves to go. Plus clothes and miscellaneous other junk.
packing peanuts Grayskale had saved from all the stuff we get shipped to us. Off to the recycling center!

Passport - check
Funny money - check
Airplane ticket information - check
Lucky underpants - check
I think that's the essentials....
...now what have I forgotten.
Yup, off to Berlin tomorrow morning.
You can tell I don't go away that often - I mean, who uploads a picture of themselves packing a suitcase?
If I don't nip in tomorrow morning with a quick 'flash your fur friday' - have a great Easter weekend and I'll catch ya'll in a few days.

Taken with my Panasonic GX7 using an old Auto Chinon 50mm F1.9 lens. The lens produces a really nice, clear image profile and beautiful bokeh.

the thread i used is some kind of silky craft thread, i wanted a loose stringy string look, it was slippy to work with
I could fit everything in my carry-on size suitcase, and am still debating internally over which one to bring. That one is definitely easier to wrangle. But I think this one is going to win because it leaves so much room to acquire things.
We're leaving for Don Pedro Island, Florida on Saturday. I thought I'd get a head start on packing so I don't forget anything. I think I have just about everything...what do you think?
or is it 28 days?
sunday, on the move again...
- spent the day watching the redskins lose (so did dallas, woot!)
- took a car to the metro, the metro to the train, and then the train to the PATH back to jersey city from d.c.
- am moving onto another corporate housing apt. tomorrow, so am packing again.
finally fall here! calling for frost tonight! brrr.
looking at more apts manana...cross your fingers and toes pour moi svp.
