Still jumping. In place, mostly.
Someone should do one of these rap battle style brags about being a junker. Seriously.
Big sale at the Peddlers Mall today.

Retro Y'all
Been doing a lot of jumping lately, but feel I don't have much to show for it. Oh well.
At least I'm still getting my clothes on the right way. Seriously, was that not the stupidest gimmick ever?
Comic shop sale today.
JUMP! JUMP!

Not quite a ramble, yet not quite a post
I am seriously trying to get back in the groove here. I have things I want to say, even if no one is left to read them. I am committing to blog every day this week. How about them apples?
Last week was our junk set out week, but the trucks seem to be running behind. Our street and the ones around us have not been cleared yet. That means two things. First, I still got some hunting to do. Second, I've got a chance to clear a few things out of the shed really quickly. Yay on both counts!
That also means I'm being quick and brief here.
Our washing machine gave up the ghost recently. It was almost 20 years old, so it's not surprising. The new one finally arrived yesterday. So I am also doing laundry.
Sales suck right now. Didn't even go to my absolute favorite church sale on Saturday. I will, however, be going to the Comic Con in Frankfort next month.
Tucker and I are bachelors this week. Keith is out of town for job training in Owensboro. I am seeing cartoons and pizza in our future.
I have some pics to share, but I got a new phone last month and I just realized I don't have Dropbox on it yet. Getting ready to rectify that.
We went to see John Prine over the weekend. It was an awesome show, as always. The opener was a 'young man who was new to me, Colter Wall. He's got to be the oldest musical soul I've heard since Gillian Welch. Like her, he creates this traditional-sounding music, with an overlay of gothic, ethereal, haunting sadness. Imagine Woody Guthrie and Marty Robbins mixed together and interpreted by the titular riders from "Ghost Riders in the Sky" and you kind of get the idea. Of course, I loved him. And, of course, he's your Music for Monday. Enjoy.
I'll have more to say about the concert tomorrow.

Retro Y'all!
Believe it or not, I woke up this morning reciting this one as some sort of bizarre Shatneresque spoken word performance.
Did anyone else ever have to do this in 6th-grade PE? Like every Friday? Or at least on the Fridays when there wasn't square dancing? (Seriously. On all of the above counts.)
I'm off to the first church sale of the season! Plus a new Peddlers Mall opening! Plus half off Saturday at Goodwill! Plus 75% off at a thrift I don't normally go to!
There WILL be a Mazda shot tomorrow!
All together now:
C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!
Do.
The Loco.
Motion.
With ME!

Now.
I think.
YOU.
Have got.

Set Out Finds!
Like I said on Monday, Junk Set Out was not as extensive this time around. This is pretty typical for the winter set out. Fall and spring are always going to be bigger. The only time the winter set out is really spectacular is when we have a really mild winter. Nevertheless, I did find a couple of good Mazda-loads of stuff. Honestly, as long as I can find even a few things that will sell. I think it's worth it.
Everything went right to the mall, which is where I took these pics. As usual, I only took pics of the highlights.
I kept running across safety cones in various piles, so I decided that I needed to grab a couple. The tall one in the middle has been signed by a lot of people for some reason. The white and black thing on the right is a pan drawer from an old stove. I thought it was interesting. The small black table had pebbles or tiles or something glued on the top and then removed. I figure that makes it a good DIY project.
Nearly everything in this photo has already sold. Right after I took the pic, I went to the restroom. When I came back, the blue folding chair was gone. Someone had bought it. I did not need another trunk, but I can't resist them. Not only has it sold, but one of the other ones I had at the booth has, so now I actually need some! I always grab media racks. Even in this age of streaming and downloads and clouds and such, there are still people who own and use physical copies of media. Many of them shop at flea markets. The suitcases were all nested inside each other, along with a matching purse and the keys for all of them. Out of this whole lot, the only things that are left are the largest suitcase and the chair on the left.
A crate of old counter-weights for doors.
I am always excited to find a wheel or two. A guy came by and bought this one right after this pic was taken.
It is probably too early for orchard-style baskets, but I found five in various sizes.
The basket on top is not as old as it may seem, but it has sold. I love my large spools, even when they are plastic. You need to enlarge this pic and read the painted sign in the middle. Apparently, someone gave the kids the ends of trim from a project to decorate, which is cool. I found a whole batch of these. I did not even see the Fleur-di-lis on the cutting board in the back when I picked it up. The old brush was buried in a whole bin of toys I picked up. The silver bowl was the first thing I picked up.
It has these little engraved tabs around the edge. I thought at first I had some kind of vintage cigar ashtray, until I realized the engraving includes a web address.
Drawers, gates, and fruit crates--oh my! I needed drawers, too. Sadly, there were no windows and I really need those too. The black chair was the only find (other than a bunch of reno debris) from the house at the bottom of the hill which usually always has a HUGE pile of stuff. The tee-ball stand is Little Tikes--my old friend.
Final find--sweet blue chairs with woven seats. These were sitting on the curb in the rain. I thought the seats were never going to dry out so I could put them in the booth. It took three days!
And that wraps up this set out. Now to count the days until June!
