Supper cooked and eaten. Twas pretty good. Suspect tonight will be an early evening, though I still have things I need to get done.

since we got here with no real success. Supper is almost ready. Waiting for the chicken to reach 180 internal temp. Getting close.

We left and did some running around though everything was closed due to Easter. Came home and been trying to get the mac backup hd going

Got the smaller of the display cases moved along with a bunch of other stuff this morning. Also got the desk glued. Hoping it turned out.

Then try to move one or both out and load them on the truck. Would be nice to get both but either one will be a start. Back in a bit.

Breakfast now history. Guess I will go across to the storage trailer and see if I can get the path to the display cases cleared.

Think I will put it up for sale when we get it there. Want one/some that are full glass rather than just the top part.

Gonna try to get one of the display cases loaded in the truck and hauled to Piedmont this morning. Not sure we can move it but will try.

Tis morning and cooking buckwheat pancakes, sausage, and eggs for breakfast. Got coffee for wake me up.

Saturday on the go: Stopped at an estate sale a couple of miles up the road on the way in this morning. Cat got a…

Just loaded the second tote and am fixing to put it in the truck so we can leave early in the am. Heading to bed afterwards. Night all! 😉

Friday and done: Twas a long and busy day. Got stuff done, things sold, and more stuff bought. Will have to see …

@weavercat Just remember tis gonna be an EARLY morning, so plan on wrapping it up real early.

Gonna crash early tonight so we can get up and out early in the morning and catch some stuff before work which is where we need to be at 9.

Along with a horse blanket, tripod, part of a lamp, and some glass pieces. May go back tomorrow and see what else she puts out.

Hit a yard sale on the way home tonight that had a bunch of 25 cent stuff, so we got a box and filled it up. Got a bunch of old stuff.

Home and fed. And tired. Twas a long day with much done, some sold, and a box full bought. Need to go through it and see what all we got.

Trying to wake up and not having much luck. Coffee is brewing so should help.

April 1: Have been running from the time we got up today. Got a few things finished and lots more started. Piles…

More stuff in the living room piled up to be sorted through to go to the store tomorrow. Wishing it was all done so I could go to bed.

Supper is done. Stinky cheese is partially consumed and SOOOOOO good. Piles of stuff in floor being sorted out to go to the store tomorrow.

easier than getting up and moving around. Though not near as productive. Or something. I seem to be loosing track of something, my mind?

Trying to find energy to go and locate some stuff that we need to take up to the store tomorrow. Sitting here at the computer seems so much

food not being forthcoming quickly enough but such is life. Which I told them but they keep complaining.

Tis evening and we are home. Somewhat before dark, which is better than a couple of days earlier in the week. Cats are complaining about

Hump day: And done with it. Been a long one again but got some stuff done so guess it was a success. Probably ha…

@ScionBoo Sweet Dreams… 😉

Not gonna take the front as far as the top as there isn’t near the damage. Think I will go and see what I can figure out for supper.

Was gonna just do a quick clean up but after the way the top looks now I think it will sell better with a bit more done to the front.

Then rinse and repeat as many times as it takes to get a good finish on it. Guess I will go ahead and clean the doors and drawer fronts too.

And as cleaned up as it’s getting. Put the first coat of tung oil on it and will steelwool it in the morning and put another coat on.

And home. Not quite as late as yesterday but still later than I had planned on being. Got the top of the sideboard/buffet mostly stripped.

Got stuff from storage trailer and on the way out the door. Back later… 😉

Not sure if I will do that or now. Will decide when coffee is ready and I get more awake.

Tis morning, and coffee’s on. Need to start loading the truck soon. Also need to go to the storage trailer and get some stuff.

Tuesday pieces: After a slow morning, decided to make a run to Atalla to get the bowl I have been lusting after. …

Done a bit of research tonight and got some stuff ready to load for tomorrow. Am about ready to hit the sack, so till tomorrow… 😉

Still didn’t get the Ruby Red bowl set I wanted as the place was closed. Got 2 more Budweiser steins. One a 91 and one a 93.

Long day. Just got in after leaving out around 8:30 this am. Ended up going to Atalla and getting a bunch more stuff this afternoon.

Food is close to ready so I get to sit for a minute. Therefore must tweet…

Think I am gonna go and start supper after removing the foot torture devices I seem to have put on this morning in place of shoes… 🙁

instructions on 2 or 3 knots to give out with the ties.

Used the four in hand knot on them as twas the easiest to tie without being on a neck and I had around 50 ties to do. Gonna print out

Lots more stuff cleaned up, priced, put on the shelves, hung on the walls, and generally put out. Tied ALL of the ties and hung them up.

Got the metal shelves we bought yesterday cleaned up, unbent, and loaded with books. Put the two shelves together that we took up today.

Have had several other people say that they would be back when their checks come in so hoping for a decent week.

Had another person put a set of dishes on hold till Friday. The Bud stein that is on hold is supposed to be picked up by Thursday.

with one. All went to one person. Made two other sales of small items so twas not a barnburner but none the less I’m happy.

Home finally. Has been a day, though long, reasonably profitable. Started the day with 8 Budweiser steins that were not on hold and finished

The mid 70’s will be nice that is. Not the cold till then. Time to drape the frame and get the arse in gear, so till later folks… 😉

clothes. Seems that warmth is gonna be elusive till midweek and then mid 70’s which will be nice.

report tis not gonna get much better till late afternoon/early evening. Lower temps than I had thought it was gonna be to so will rethink

Tis morning once again. With coffee in hand which is to hot but am drinking it anyway. Dull overcast day so far, and looking at the weather

Sunday bits: Made a trip to Attalla just after noon to see what was available at a yard sale at the middle school …

have to wait till another day. Still got things I need to get done tonight but are not gonna get to. Ah well tomorrow is another day.

it in the truck, along with several other items that are going north with us tomorrow morning. Still more upstairs to go through but will

That should be to rather than so in the last tweet. Tired. Have also taken the shelving down from upstairs, knocked it apart and loaded

especially considering how they were packed and then handled/stored. Looks like I will have to build another place so store/display stuff.

Located another box which was filled with cut crystal drinking and eating vessels. Only one chipped and one cracked, which is a wonder

In doing so found this stuff that should have been gone through years ago but got pushed to the back and forgotten. Such is life in clutter.

Taking a back and pee break, then will go back and get more. Was going after shelving to take to the store and had to unload it first.

Been dragging things out of the qhut loft and unboxing them. So far 2 boxes of glassware from my aunt. Seems like there is more to go…

2 weeks ago. Saw and lusted after a Ruby Red bowl and 9 berry cups at the second place we stopped at, but had not the funds to acquire it.

So we now have 9 total in stock. 2 are from the same year, and one I’m holding for someone. But tis quite a collection when we had none

but that’s about it. Need to look at the paper and see if there are any estate sales today. Guess I’ll do that now.

Waiting on the next band of rain to get here and pass. Waking slowly with little on the gotta do list today. One laptop to work on later

Tired Saturday: Started the day tired and has ended even more so. Hit a couple of yard sales this morning and spe…

Morning all. Heading out in a minute to hit a couple of yard sales prior to going to the store. Back this evening.

Thursday on the road: Did the Calcis trip today. Made it down this morning and headed back just after noon. Made…

And then hit the sack for the night.

And that’s before going to the store. Or at least I want to. Depends on how we both feel. For now, gonna do a bit more pricing

Along with a bunch of other glass and assorted interesting and odd pieces. Tomorrow morning is gonna entail visiting several yard sales.

Home. Supper fixed and eaten. Fire started and going. Still pricing some of the bits and pieces we bought today. Got 5 Bud Steins!

Back later on folks.. 😉

Forgot to post the last tweet before breakfast… Have now eaten, coffee drunk, truck unloaded and reloaded, and fixing to head out.

But coffee comes first. Then will get started on the loading madness.

Tis a drippy morning but I is up. Coffee is slowly perking, at least I hope it is. Need to be unloading and then reloading the truck.

Hump day done: And was a long one. Got the 3rd room cleared out and open for sales with a bit of stuff in it thou…

Gonna have to go look for more Bud steins. Look to be good sellers. Supper is about done so back later.

a display case. She wants it to hold quilts. I told her that I would call her when I got it done refinishing it so looks like it’s sold.

Other clutter is stuff in to be repaired prior to putting out to sell. Had a customer come in and ask about a piece I had bought to use as

Back room is piled almost to the ceiling. Will get in there Friday and clear some of the worst of the shear crap out.

Got the third room cleared out and set up for sales today. Finally. Still not got a lot of stuff in there but tis getting there.

Then home to find a dead cat in the road. So then twas dig a hole time and then back up to start supper… 🙁 One of those days…

Home and warming food type stuff in the microwave for supper. Twas a LONG day at the store. Then a long trip to WW.

Trying to get it going this morning and having little luck. The arse that is. Coffee is helping but slowly. Should be dressed and eating

Tis early yet but I am beat, so heading to bed. Till tomorrow, folks… 😉

Home, supper done, and eaten. Sitting down to do a bit of research and then am gonna go to bed. Am one tired puppy…

Cold rainy Monday: Started out that way and got no better. Still drizzling and quite cold here. Showing 42.8 on …

Tis past time to hit the sack. Lots to do tomorrow and need to get started early. G’nite all…

this morning prior to heading out. Need to do a bit of tweaking and then print some off. Next up is to get a Bonanzle booth with the name.

Have decided to go with The Little Curiosity Shop for the store rather than The Old Curiosity Shop. Did a redesign of the business cards

Supper done. Temp in here is now over 60 F which is much warmer than when we came in. Warmer still upstairs. Should be approaching 70 now.

Home from the store. Cold there and cold here. Here I am building a fire, so hope to correct that problem soon. + hot coffee is helping.

Found a pack of watch batteries I need one of for a clock that I fixed Saturday. Now can put it out.

to work this morning. Back in a few.

Morning all. Coffee is hot and waking me up. Sky is gray and dismal looking but see no snow here. Just realized something I need to take

Sunday working on stuff: Spent the day working on the Stamina 4655 recumbent air bike that we got for Cat’s mom at…

Gonna take more than 40 minutes. Egg is still runny. Most likely the frozen pepper stir fry is the problem. Should have cooked it first.

Cooking at 350 F for 35 to 40 minutes or until the egg mixture sets. Will add more cheese about 5 minutes before cutting the roaster off.

half a pound of frozen pepper stir fry, 6 eggs beaten with salsa, 6 tamales and sauce and covered everything with grated sharp cheddar.

Supper is in the roaster now. Started with a bed of tortilla chips, added 2 cans of Firehouse chili, 1/2 pound of sliced sausage,

Is going to Cat’s mom so wanted to get it fixed right or would have left the housing loose. Tis better than new now.

Looks like we now have about $12 in the machine. And a couple of hours labor. Still a good deal at twice the price. 😉

Just finished repairing the housing for the fan on the exercise bicycle. Waiting for the epoxy to cure and then will put it back together.

Showered, draped, fixing to eat and then head out. So the rain has started. Gonna go to Jacksonville and see if we can get it all there.

Well, now that I have split a pile of wood, cut more wood, and split that, guess I’ll get the shower, dress and head out to get stuff…

before I can take the time to do so. For now guess I will drape the frame and head to the store. Back later…

project that I can cut up and burn that will last another 2 to 3 days. Think I need a day or two off to rest but got another week to go

Need to be out cutting wood but am just not up to it. Got enough to go one or two more days, with enough under shelter that is for another

Already fixed the display assembly battery housing, so when this is done tis ready to use. Nice machine – Stamina 4655 recumbent air bike.

Getting ready to go out and get epoxy and screws to put the housing on the exercise bike, we bought yesterday, back together.

Supper is done and I am close to it myself. Gonna do a bit more browsing and then call it a night.

This one is getting worse with the hot and cold spots.

And rest is now in. First bit will need to heat a bit longer when this comes out. Think I need to get the old microwave back out.

Supper heating in the microwave now. Or part of it. Rest will go in when this part comes out.

And home. Finally. Been a LONG day. Got a few things done. Other things still need finishing up but those ain’t getting done tonight.
