• ALL I CAN SAY RIGHT NOW IS I AM SOOOOOOO TIRED!!!! 
  THIS WAS ONE LONG ASS WEEKEND. 
  
  WE CLEANED ALL THE JUNK THAT MY PARENTS AND BROTHER
  HAD LEFT ON MY BACKPORCH BEFORE I MOVED IN THREE YEARS
  AGO THAT I COULDNT DO ANYTHING WITH BECAUSE I DONT
  OWN A TRUCK AND COULDNT GET ANY HELP MOVING IT.  BUT,
  IT IS NOW GONE GONE GONE!!!!! 
  
  TO SAY THE LEAST I NOW HAVE A BACK PORCH........

  
  

   

  
  

  ON TOP OF GETTING MY PORCH CLEANED OFF, THERE
  WERE TWO OLD LOCKED UP CEILING FANS THAT THE
  BLADES WERE ALL MESSED UP AND/OR BROKEN OFF,
  AND THE LIGHTS WERE HANGING DOWN (SEE ABOVE
  PIC).  JEROMY WENT LAST NIGHT AND GOT ME
  TWO NEW FANS TO REPLACE THOSE FANS!!!!

  
  

   
  I JUST WANT TO SPEND THE DAY OUT THERE
  LOOKING AT ALL THAT OPENESS!!
  

  
  

  IT WAS REALLY NICE SITTING OUT THERE WITH THE
  FANS BLOWING AND ALL THE OPEN SPACE.  ONLY
  PROBLEM RIGHT NOW IS MY BODY IS RETALIATING
  BECAUSE OF THE WORK FRIDAY, GOING THROUGH
  2 TONS OF JUNK TO MAKE SURE NOTHING WAS
  IN THERE THAT WAS VALUABLE.  I DID
  LUCK OUT GETTING A FEW THINGS. 

  
  

  THEN SATURDAY WAS ANOTHER BIG DAY......

  
  

   
  WE BURNED ANYTHING WOOD THAT WOULD
  HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE DUMP......

  
  

  WE HAD TO REMOVE THE SCREENS FROM
  THE PORCH SINCE THEY WERE ALL TORN....
  
  SO WE MADE A PILE OF THE SCREENS.........
  
   
  AND ANOTHER PILE OF HEAVY METAL, INCLUDING TWO
  OLD MICROWAVES AND VARIOUS OTHER JUNK METAL,
  AS MY DAD HAS A BIN AT WORK HE CAN DUMP INTO....
  HE TOOK THE REFRIGERATOR THAT WAS IN THE HOUSE WHEN I
  MOVED IN, WITH HIM SATURDAY TO DUMP AT WORK MONDAY....
  HE WILL HOPEFULLY BE BACK TO GET THE REST OF THIS STUFF
  THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT HE SAID!!!
  JEROMY IS GOING TO TALK TO HIS BOSS AND SEE IF HE CAN
  TAKE A LOAD TO HIS WORK ALSO, AS THEY HAVE THE SAME THING.......
  
  WE FOUND THREE BOXES OF ALBUMS, INCLUDING A BUTTLOAD
  OF THE OLD 78 ALBUMS THAT ARE IN THE SLEEVEED BOOKS......
  
  I ALSO FOUND TWO LAND CAMERAS FROM THE 60'S AND
  A BROWNIE 8 MM MOVIE CAMERA...................
  
  HERE IS A LIST OF THINGS FOUND THROUGHOUT THE CLEANING:

  
  

  I FOUND A BOX OF TIARA EXCLUSIVE,
  
  WHICH I NOW HAVE ON EBAY.....

  
  

  I FOUND ONE CEILING FAN IN A BOX WITH A GLOBE
   
  THAT I AM PUTTING ON CRAIGS LIST......
  
  A LOT OF SALT AND PEPPER SHAKERS AND VARIOUS CAPS,
    
  WHICH I WILL PROBABLY TRY ON EBAY, CRAIGS LIST,
  THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST FREECYCLE, TILL THEY ARE GONE.....

  
  

  A BRASS HEADBOARD FOR A KING SIZE BED,
   
  WHICH I AM GOING TO KEEP AND CLEANUP, WOULD LOVE
  TO GET ANOTHER KIND SIZE BED SOMEDAY, SO THAT IS
  GOING INTO THE BASEMENT.....

  
  

  AN OLD ANTIQUE GAS CAN....
   
  WHICH I AM GOING TO CLEAN UP A BIT AND TRY IT ON
  EBAY, THEN CRAIGS LIST, THEN I MIGHT JUST KEEP IT....

  
  

  A BIG GREEN TUB,
   
  PERFECT FOR ICE AND BEER SO THEY DONT FILL UP MY FRIDGE...

  
  

  I FOUND VARIOUS CANS,
   
  WHICH WILL GO WITH MY CANS THAT I ALREADY HAVE......

  
  

  A CERAMIC PUMPKIN,
   
  WHICH WILL BE USED HALLOWEEN AT THE TOP OF MY
  FRONT PORCH STAIRS...........

  
  

  A LOG HOLDER,
   
  WHICH I WILL PUT ON CRAIGSLIST OR FREECYCLE....

  
  

  A SKILSAW AND NEW BLADE,
   
  WHICH WILL GO IN THE BASEMENT WITH
   
  MY COLLECTION OF TOOLS THAT I FOUND......

  
  

  SOME MACRAME STUFF,
   
  WHICH WILL GO ON FREECYCLE.....

  
  

  A TRAY OF SOME SORT,
   
  WHICH WILL GET CLEANED AND RESEARCHED, AND
  PUT ON EBAY, CRAIGSLIST, OR FREECYCLE.....

  
  

  AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...........
   
  THESE WERE JEROMY'S VIDEOS WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER......

  
  

  THERE IS A STORY BEHIND THESE.....

  
  

  MY DAD WORKS FOR

  
  

  

  
  

  AND JEROMY USED TO GO TO WORK WITH HIM AS A CHILD.......
  HAD HIS OWN YANCY BROTHERS UNIFORM, BOOTS, AND SET OF MASTER KEYS.....

  
  

  THAT WAS WHY HE GOT THOSE VIDEOS, HE LOVED THAT STUFF....
  HE USED TO GO ANYWHERE CLOSEBY THAT THEY WERE DOING ANY
  KIND OF CONSTRUCTION AND ALL THE LOCAL CONTRACTORS EVENTUALLY
  GOT TO KNOW HIM.......

  
  

  SO ANYWAY, TO MAKE A ALREADY LONG STORY SHORT.......

  
  

  THIS IS WHAT JEROMY DOES FOR A LIVING NOW.......
   
  HE OPERATES A ASPHALT MILL, WHICH BREAKS UP THE ASPHALT
  AND RUNS A CREW.....

  
  

  WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WATCHING A FEW VIDEOS
  AND HANGING OUT AT YANCEY BROTHERS,
  HE WOULD GROW UP TO DO EXACTLY JUST THAT......

  
  

  WELL, I GUESS I HAD BETTER END THIS POST, I REALLY NEED TO GET ON
  TOP OF A LETTER TO TRAVIS, I HAVE PICS TO PICK UP AT CVS THAT I AM
  GOING TO SEND TO HIM TO SHOW HIM THE PORCH PROGRESS....I AM SURE
  HE WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO SEE THAT.....
  
  IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA ABOUT ANY OF THE STUFF I GOT, LIKE
  WHAT TO DO TO GET RID OF IT, WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SOME MONEY
  OFF OF IT, EVEN IF IT IS NOT A LOT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW...
  
  IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT OLD CAMERAS
  OR OLD OLD ALBUMS................

  
  

  OTHER THAN THAT, I HOPE YOU ALL DIDNT GET TOO BORED AND I HOPE
  EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEK!!!!!!
