Greetings!!!! Hope all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. I'm sure most all here has noticed my absence and were concerned about me....
![]() Weeks ago I had ordered some nice things for Sarah but have not been able to open them and put them to use, some things are in anticipation for next year when I find Peggy........ ![]() which I'll post photos later of those other items. Two weeks ago I had a next door neighbor die, yesterday I had another die who lives behind me, another, a house over, to my North and a Board member, went in with a heart attack and is waiting a 3-5 bypass operation, my arsehole neighbor across the street has disappeared, maybe fell into the Mississippi while walking a dog, last time he was seen. Here I am in the middle of all of this.....and my front street is in the Mississippi. Have I told you that I'm the Mayor???? On a better personal note, at least my heart surgeon, brain surgeon and orthopedic surgeon says that I'm recovering well, just keep a can of WD-40 and battery recharger on hand and I should do well...anyway, back to Sarah's fun box. I'm sure Bill remembers well, as I do, if he was fortunate enough, like I was, a tobacco/lunch pail that was handed down to him from his Pa or granddad which was quite common back in the late 1800s and on into the 20s and 30s. Plug tobacco came in some nice tins and the one with handles made great lunch pails. They are hard to find a nice one today without the dings and dents and the nice designs worn away but HARK!!!! I found one in Canada. Fits perfect on Sarah's package shelf and all those things I had stuffed inside Sarah's budging door pockets are now inside the tin: few wrenches adjustable wrench allen wrench flashlight gas fill drip cloth that fits over the opening to catch drips...... thermal temperature gauge Listerine breath strips, cologne and XXL Trojans............ ![]() Time to recharge.....stay thirsty my friends!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
