WHERE'S MY NICKEL?

 

     I was going through past running pictures this morning looking for something specific and noticed the ones from a year ago, and we were dealing with ice and snow then as well.  Funny though, the pennies were still finding me (thank you creator for all these blessings!).  Today I had a feeling that a lot of the stuff that had been there under the snow would make an appearance today and seems there was a little bit of everything out there.  If there was a need to secure something to your truck or trailer, I had the bungie solution covered and also had the nylon strap with the hooky thing on the end, and even found an extra hook.  I found a perfectly good 15mm combination wrench, and also a lock with a key.  I usually only pick up combination locks, the keyed ones without keys don't have much use.  I must have a dozen combo ones at the moment, so if it's not in really good shape I may just leave it.  Unless of course tomorrow is a very light day and then I might take it just for the picture. 😃  I do find a bunch of lighters at the curb line but since I don't smoke and I don't know anybody that does really, those need to be in pretty good shape to get picked up (and of course--to light up).  And for the 2nd day---no nickel so no hitting for the cycle.  But I'll probably find 6 tomorrow, that's how that tends to go.  

      I found another lotto scratch-off 2nd chance drawing ticket but from the way it's folded to fit in a pocket, I think it's the one that fell out of my pocket last week, so there's 20 more entries for a Vegas trip.  I hadn't found any golf balls in a while until today, but those too I have a lot of.  I have kiddingly said that with the way I'd be hitting them today, it would make more sense to just go to the golf course, throw a dozen balls into the woods right off and then go have lunch in the clubhouse.  Much much less aggravation.  Actually, I do know that, unless you're Jordan Speith, it makes a whole lot more sense to just hit the course, get some exercise, fresh air, enjoy a beautiful day, and appreciate the one decent shot you might hit per hole (or every other hole...).  I guess it's the same with fishing, you just need to appreciate being out on the lake, enjoying a pretty day, drowning a few worms.
