20160514 - yardsale haul - IMG_0331 - the haul

We had a good haul this trip. A lot of this stuff has been deployed in our house and it's as if we've always had it. The blue guitar is pretty much the best acoustic guitar in the house, because it sounds really great AND looks great. It gets a lot of use. Can't believe the guy just said "make an offer". I guess $20 was too high, because he accepted it right away.

 

We've already used the new automatic card shuffler when we've played Last Night On Earth and RoboRally with friends. The lamp is in our bedroom and it's nice to have one that is so adjustable. Not 6pictured was a firepit that we dropped off at MakePeace.
