A wild bunny in my backyard who hopped around watching me work. We made a good team. I cleaned up while he ate weeds. He let me get pretty close (2 ft) and listened to be yabbering on to him. I told him if he continues to eat the weeds, he can still camp out in my backyard.  :green:

 Did you make him a pancake hat?  Bunnies like those.  :bunny:

Some marked down cereals, oatmeal and canned goods.  Thanks be to clumsy stockers.

 You're welcome, ma'am!  Please pass that along to my manager!  :insane:

Not today, and, I did not even find it myself......

Saw something missing on my bachelors certificate, so, went in to ask about that.

Got a phonecall after that, not only will I get the attachments missing, I'll also get a new certificate, because, according to this one I am male.

Had completely missed that, guess my Latin isn't what it used to be.

So, will get a gender change on paper soon.  :bounce:

I shelled out $50 and bought a new printer (a really cheap one) last week because mine died and I needed one pronto for the kid's report.

I'll give you three guesses as to what I found today.   :LOL:

...all the cables neatly tucked on top...Canon. It works too.
May fit it up with a CIS system and give it to the kid.

Isn't it always that way :green:

Just before the rain hit, I nabbed these setting out at the curb.

Me too. Didn't take a really good look at it until I got home, it looks almost new.

I've scored at that house before.

That a tie clip I got in a small box of stuff I bought at a tag sale for a dollar is gold washed silver not brass.

A grill.

Ex bought a tiny gas grill for $80, told him he should go riding with me to find a bigger one.

MIL gave me the  ::) look, he said I was nuts as usual, and we made a bet.

Guess who won? :zoinks:

An hour later we took this grill up to my FIL


Burners and grates are in terrific shape, a little rust on the door handles in front. Guy said it worked fine (it does) his kids bought him a new one for father's day.
Retail was $799 on this monster.
