Well, my nights off this week are Monday & Tuesday. Tonight is supposed to be the coldest we've had so far this Winter.
To start my weekend I offloaded all the 4 x 4 posts I'd fetched home yesterday and went and brung home a truckload of 1 x 8 and 2 x 4. While loading up all that stuff I noticed an interesting looking box inside a white trash bag so I loaded it and its 2 almost identical siblings. Curiosity may have killed the cat but it never hurt the Merlin! It's been a coon's age since I worked a jigsaw puzzle but now I have 5 to play with from the first sack. Most are old "Americana" nostalgia print stuff which is cool to me. I only hope the 1000 piece puzzle don't only have 999 in the box!
Also I love candles, especially when I don't have to work at night. The soft glow and (most) smells of scented candles are most relaxing and I can put a little light almost anywhere I want it. One of the bags had 5 candles from 2.5 to 2.75" diameter and 3 - 6" tall. These were the pick of the litter from the second sack. The last sack had mostly board games like backgammon, Chinese checkers, etc. Short story, I brung home 3 medium sized sacks of stuff somebody else didn't want and only 1 small went back to the curb.
Hey! Don't be too proud to "curb shop"! There's tons of perfectly good stuff waiting to be saved from the city dump. All it needs is a good home.
