Garage Sale Morning

SAM asked it I was going with her into uncharted territory to garage sale:  Could I say no?  I do not think so 🙂  So, we spent the morning going from this street to that street and from this area to that one.  I must admit they were pretty upscale areas but the junk was the same. All this effort resulted in one Indian bell and one servants bell. I did get to talk with a guy who was pleasant and had a very firm handshake so that was a good sale as far as I was concerned.  Then we stopped at a sale and SAM motioned – fishing rods – so I had to get out.

This guy was interesting since he was  a sailor and he had several nice items that were cheap.  How about a polished stainless steel Bruce anchor?  This was a dingy sized anchor and might have been a steal if I would have asked the price.  I talked about it to him but he did not volunteer a price so that died right away.  Also on the table were several stainless steel bales and anchor locks but we no longer have a boat on which to put them.  At least this sale was interesting to me.  SAM went back to the car an waited on me – instead of the other way around.  That just about ended the garage sailing for the day.

Back on the home front it was time for the “leftovers” and we mixed some green Thai Curry paste into the pasta and wow, the taste just jumped out at us and it was captivating.  Of course, I ate too much again and as a result had to take a short nap with Abby at my side.  I worked a little bit on an amateur radio project using the Raspberry Pi 3 and sort of got it working but since I do not know all it is supposed to do it will be trial and error now.

Last month we used 80+ gigs of data thru the hotspot.  Most of that is the evening movies we have started watching.  I guess it comes out about right: 30 days at 2 gigs per HD movieis 60 gigs±. We finished the Mad Dogs season and now are on Orphan Black (4 seasons) and it is an edge of the seat thriller about cloned young ladies.  SAM is so tense and squealing now and again.
