We spent $10 on the scanner, after verifying that it would work with Windows 7. Carolyn & the girl selling it both raced each other to see who could find verification of this fact on their cell phone first. (Carolyn lost.)
$3.00 for another blacklight, which promptly went up on our wall, controlled by remote X10 controller.
Clint paid $2.00 for the cd player for his car. This hilarious guy was trying to buy his other one for $1 instead of $2. He didn't speak English, and kept just saying "One". The guy selling it was like, "No, two!". The first guy repeated "One" at least 10 times in response. Finally he gave up and parted with it for $1. In the middle of this, he threw up his hands to ignore the "One" guy, and sold Clint his for $2, then went back to dealing with the "One" guy, who started back up again. It was pretty hilarious, especially how he finally did get it for $1. That was the hardest haggle I've seen in 30+ years of yardsaleing.
$2.00 for the Heineken mirror as a gift.
$1.00 total for the extension cords. Apparently, we still need more.
$0.25 was more than Carolyn wanted to spend on the ice tray, but it seemed like it'd be an easy one to use. We're getting to the point where we may have to throw some ice trays out. But we are breeding them into a new race of easy-to-use ice trays. Some are WAY easier than others. Let the war begin!

Look at those jars! Why is that one so tall?!?!? Couldn't resist. I put my various glues in it, to keep them from drying out.
Also got some free cushions ... Bursitis sucks.

I am very glad with our new cat, she is really thriving with us. Here she is listening to very special string music, you can hear it here, and discover that comparing violin music with cat miowing is not a depreciation, but a big compliment for both violin and cat:

Montgomery Ward is the name of two historically distinct American retail enterprises. It can refer either to the defunct mail order and department store retailer which operated between 1872 and 2000 or to the original name of the online retailer Wards.
Montgomery Ward was founded by Aaron Montgomery Ward in 1872. Ward had conceived of the idea of a dry goods mail-order business in Chicago, Illinois, after several years of working as a traveling salesman among rural customers. He observed that rural customers often wanted "city" goods but their only access to them was through rural retailers who had little competition and offered no guarantee of quality. Ward also believed that by eliminating intermediaries, he could cut costs and make a wide variety of goods available to rural customers, who could purchase goods by mail and pick them up at the nearest train station.
After several false starts, including the destruction of his first inventory by the Great Chicago Fire, Ward started his business at his first office, either in a single room at 825 North Clark Street, or in a loft above a livery stable on Kinzie Street between Rush and State Streets. He had two partners and used $1,600 they had raised in capital. The first catalog in August 1872 consisted of an 8 by 12 in. single-sheet price list, showing 163 articles for sale with ordering instructions. Ward wrote the first catalog copy. His two partners left the following year, but he continued the struggling business and was joined by his future brother-in-law Richard Thorne.
In the first few years, the business was not well received by rural retailers. Considering Ward a threat, they sometimes publicly burned his catalog. Despite the opposition, however, the business grew at a fast pace over the next several decades, fueled by demand primarily from rural customers who were attracted by the wide selection of items unavailable to them locally. Customers were also attracted by the innovative and unprecedented company policy of "satisfaction guaranteed or your money back", which Ward began using in 1875. Ward turned the copy writing over to department heads, but he continued poring over every detail in the catalog for accuracy.
Ward became widely popular among residents of Chicago, where he championed the causes of the common folk over the wealthy. He was notable for his successful fight to establish public parkland along Lake Michigan.
In 1883, the company's catalog, which became popularly known as the "Wish Book", had grown to 240 pages and 10,000 items. In 1896, Wards acquired its first serious competition in the mail order business, when Richard Warren Sears introduced his first general catalog. In 1900, Wards had total sales of $8.7 million, compared to $10 million for Sears, Roebuck and Co., and the two companies were to struggle for dominance for much of the 20th century. By 1904, the company had grown such that three million catalogs, weighing 4 pounds each, were mailed to customers.
In 1908, the company opened a 1.25 million ft² (116,000 m²) building stretching along nearly 1/4 mile of the Chicago River, north of downtown Chicago. The building, known as the Montgomery Ward & Co. Catalog House, served as the company headquarters until 1974, when the offices moved across the street to a new tower designed by Minoru Yamasaki. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978 and a Chicago historic landmark in May 2000.
In the decades before 1930, Montgomery Ward built a network of large distributions centers across the country in Baltimore, Fort Worth, Kansas City, St. Paul, Portland, Oregon, and Oakland, California. In most cases, these reinforced concrete structures were the largest industrial structures in their respective locations. The Baltimore Montgomery Ward Warehouse and Retail Store was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

I totally forgot I had this CD player, just found it this morning in the closet.
Thanks for your kind/comments/faves. I do appreciate them all.
Have a Lovely Tuesday.

Yes, I do believe that's 3 VCRs hooked up, as well as a 100 CD changer. How quaint. These days, I just use my computer for everything. But you can tell I was starting to get into that -- notice Windows on my big TV!
I still use the VCR on the bottom, and the one on the top is still operational. The one in the middle isn't. The stereo is now broken, but still works. You just have to completely crank it and waste electricity. The CD player broke, and Best Buy violated their maintenance contract by not replacing it after 4 repairs. [They called them repairs, then at #4 retroactively called them cleanings and thus not repairs]. The blacklight is broken.
The Mr. Bungle poster, which I got years before I ever heard Mr. Bungle (I thought they might be somebody I might eventually like--and was right), is in my living room. The big TVdied after 23 years, and the monitor is of course dead. The little TV (to the left of the big TV) is still alive. The speaker barely works.
I don't use the wireless headphones anymore (transmitter on top of little TV) because they sucked.
And no - I have no clue what that fork is doing by my head.
The speakers are all still functional, of course.
The company on my shorts? Long gone. They bought my house, I quit 1 month after settlement, and they ceased to exist within 2 yrs.

Under the bed is a plastic box with a white lid---it is not supporting the bed. An unseen plywood panel spans that open space. Behind the pillow is an unpainted custom shelf I built. I painted it later.

Geneva is shaped for the way we live today. Home stereo has not kept pace with advances in digital music and contemporary lifestyle. Space is at a premium. Simplicity and style are the alternatives to the clutter of complicated technology. The multi-component concept of home stereo has not changed in many decades while in a few short years tens of millions of people have simplified entire music collections onto tiny hard drives. In a single cabinet the Geneva Sound System offers direct playback of hard drive music while also offering built in capabilities for CDs (with a built-in slot drive), FM radio, and line-in turntables, TV audio, computers and even game consoles.

The first component CD player, taking up about as much space as a CD jewel case. The lid bears a circular ring that recalls the gleaming image of a compact disc, and discs are visible through an acrylic window occupying a quarter of the lid. This disc-like pattern (in anodized aluminum) influenced the design of later models. The controls are grouped on the front panel, with large play, fast-forward, and rewind buttons for easier operation.

Just like many businesses the radio business is mostly computer work. Today however, I had two back to back requests that I had to play on CD. I snapped a picture of the disc players in action to share with my wife. Wanted to share the image here as well.

FMS photo a day February 27th - playing - Amy Winehouse 'Lioness: Hidden Treasures' one of my favourite cd's, compiled after her death. It always leaves me with mixed emotions, she had such a unique, amazing voice but was such a tragic soul who was never destined for old age.
"Leaving work at 5.30pm today, I swung the front door shut behind me, and something about the late afternoon light made me stop dead in my tracks. Seconds later, my bag hit the ground and I was kneeling on the walkway, camera in hand, snapping photos of the sunlight on the grass. When I'd decided a dozen photos was more than enough, I stood up, brushed off my knees, and, before turning away to head back to my car, I stopped and aimed one final, level glance at the shadows, thinking, I have to remember this moment so I can write about it later."

I entered this in our Camera Club Set Subject PDI "Street/Candid Street Competition" It scored 19 points I was A bit worried as the judge thought it was a man, it was definitely a woman.
He did spot that she was listening to a CD player though!
I was very pleased with the scores as I have gone up to the Advanced group this year!

Habíamos quedado en el Badabing, como de costumbre. Amigas, amigos, cervezas y risas. Lo de siempre. Corría el alcohol por las gargantas y se podía percibir ese implacable olor de la pólvora quemada que deja en las manos las pistolas recién detonadas. Una mezcla de vicio y sinsentido, de violencia y tranquilidad. Eso es en esencia la familia.
