Yard sale-ing away...

Now that I don't work on Saturdays anymore, I have to get up at stupidly early hours on Saturdays, like I did for the last 3 years.

But I still do. Why? Most of the last few weekends, I've been going to yard sales with bsom. And he takes his yard sales seriously - route planned in advance with yard sales in order by distance and start time.

I keep hoping for a big score - something that I can sell for eBay at a profit. I haven't found it yet, but I have bought some random stuff - a couple pictures, a cargo net for my truck for $5, a set of wheel locks for a buck.

But I have gotten two other really interesting pieces of, umm, home decor.

A couple weeks ago, I bought this fine piece of word processing equiptment. I'm not really sure why I bought it, but I'm kind of glad I did - I have it sitting on a bookshelf in my living room. It's a great conversation piece, in the event anyone ever comes over my house...

But the piece de resistance was something I found for $5 today. I suddenly have a craving for a beer.. I could probably sell it on eBay for a decent amount, but I think I'm going to keep it - it adds an interesting touch to my living room, plus it would be difficult to package and get to it's destination in one piece.

And maybe someday I'll make the big haul....
