Due to partly to circumstances I could not control and partly to my own poor planning skills, I am smack dab in the middle of Junk Set Out AND a massive booth re-do. I barely even know what my name is right now.
I'll get some first looks at the booth re-do and the first finds of the set out later this week.

Age 53
Hercules and Isosceles
Were going to the Ball.
Said Hercules to Isosceles:
"You're the tallest one of all."
Said Isosceles to Hercules:
"By Jove! I think you're right!"
Then Hercules and Isosceles

WEATHER REPORT
We ended last week in the 60's, then came into the 30's this week. Winter in Kentucky. Ain't nothing like it. At one point, they were calling for snow for this week, but not any more. Good.

Let's go with this one for this week, at least.
First up a question:

Time to wrap this puppy up. I've got other topics to expound upon.
Everything in this post was a curb find. I'm keeping my commentary to a minimum this time.

For some reason, when people talk about the great country music songwriters, he doesn't seem to get mentioned often.
Fun Fact; According to Wikipedia, this song was inspired by an article Jennings read about Tina Turner.

A couple of the usual dealers weren't there, and several that were did not bring their cheaper stock. Oh well. At least the comic shop will start having sales again soon.
I did find a couple of things, but not too much.

Before we get started, a word from the producers:
Once more, for those of you who happen to be reading this blog while lying down:
I've got one more 2017 finds post, and I'm contemplating making a post of some even older finds that I photographed but never shared. I normally wouldn't bother with something older like that, but these things are kind of cool.

Unless noted otherwise, everything here is a trash find.
