This weekend I went to my parents' old house (ie: the one I grew up in) and cleaned it out. They're downsizing now, moving from their current larger home, back into the old crib. My brothers and I met up there on Saturday and started going through the various crap we'd accumulated over the years. Kind of a trip down Memory Lane.
Let's see. What did I find? Tons of Stephen King books, both hardcover and paperback. I read a bunch of that stuff in high school. And look! I'm normal! Also found a bunch of my old Indiana Jones stuff; the books, comics, screenplays. Let's not forget the old NES and 3DO systems. Now I gotta find out if they work.
I had no idea how obsessed my brothers were with sports cards. They had BOXES of basketball cards. Unopened ones from 1993. I have no idea about the stuff, but shouldn't there be good money in there?
So, yesterday, we awoke to a leaking hot water heater at my house. Luckily, it wasn't that bad, aside from the final bill. But there was some water on the adjacent wall which is the other side of a crawlspace/closet we have downstairs. Sadly, there was a bunch of crap in that crawlspace that I had to clear out to see if we had any seepage. Being that I was in junk/cleaning mode already from the weekend, I went to town. Hauled out boxes of Marci's old clothes, wrapping paper (who knew we'd save so much used wrap!), empty compter game boxes, toys, and junk. Two garbage cans later, we had some room in that closed. Thankfully, also, there was no seepage. Good times!
Keep an eye out on eBay in the next few days. I think I'll put up some stuff, see what I can get for it.
