What with the weather doing as it has been, I just wasn't up to playing in the mud today. So, instead, to get my "fix", I went through some long put off cleaning of the attic. I came across this one box that I had to struggle to remember from whence it came? I recalled that this was one of a couple boxes of misc items I found in an old, abandoned building. It was 90 percent collapsed. A shed or out-building of some sort. I remember I was too afraid to pry around in it for fear of crashing the rest around my ears. (and or find that nest of vipers! )
The owner of the property said it was there when they bought the place and was scheduled for dozing very shortly as they were going to build a garage there. I asked if it was alright for me to poke around a bit and they said sure and have at it, but not to go inside and to take whatever I wanted. Well, I wasn't going in there, that was for sure! The corner that was left standing was leaning and only about 4 feet off the ground!
Now, ya gotta remember, I was brand new at this digemup hobby and a pure neophyte when it came to seeing possibilities! If I knew 1 tenth what I know now, I would have offered to doze the place myself!
Anyway, this box is the only one left I hadn't been through since waaaaaaay back then! So, like the proverbial kid in a candy store, I started to check the contents ONE - ITEM - AT - A - TIME! LOL ! I really have ONLY just started digging and unfortunately, it's not a very big box. Still, below is a sample of some of the things I'm finding in there.
Todays finds:
The outside of the book is pretty bad, but the contents have weathered the time well. IMHO.
So, whatcha think? That count?
HH!
