Vintage Scouting Memorabilia On eBay
As a married person tell me if you have ever tried to pull this off. My wife is out of town for a few days studying for a financial exam she is taking for her job. I told her I was finally going to tackle a complete makeover of our garage. So for the last two days I have been furiously installing new shelving, reboxing, recycling and trashing unwanted items. All of this without one word of guidance from her - I am just going rogue and doing it my way. I am either going hear a "good job" when she returns Wednesday or I'll hear about it all during Thanksgiving.
But in my defense I sorta feel like a garage is kinda a man's lair where we store fishing gear we never use, dad's old tools I might need one day and enough camping gear to outfit a Scout troop. Of course you need 1/2 dozen sleeping bags just in case! But I've also merged the project of merging totes in my warehouse because I wanted the garage to all be those matching totes from Lowe's with the yellow lids. So that's how I can explain that I spent 5 hours at the warehouse Sunday merging totes to free up all my matching ones - see I understand how there has to be some eye appeal to this makeover.
Today when I get home I should be able to finish the project. I have to put some stuff in the attic, find a home for a couple of unused coffee tables, and do a thorough job of cleaning. I also have to set up my tunes station with an old stereo and record player. The garage is not my man cave but when I work in there I do like to play some loud music.
On eBay this week I have 140 live auctions including many CPs, camp patches, conclaves, OA and more. Its exactly what I shoot for - a very diverse group of listings that has a little bit for everyone so don't forget to take a look.
For Thanksgiving we will only have 5 people around the table this year. My MIL is coming up from Columbia and my daughter will of course be home from college. I should not even admit this to the readers but for the first time in our lives we are picking up most of the food from a local restaurant rather than home cooking it all. I'm not sure anyone is happy about it but as I mentioned earlier my wife is under the gun studying and just didn't want to add any more stress to the holiday. But there will be homemade pumpkin pie so all is well in the universe.
