That's Always A Plus : 12 01 2022

 

        Another 1st today, I found a $1 gaming token from the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.  I'm not going to ask how it ended up along the curb half buried in the dirt, I'm expecting somebody took a wrong turn somewhere.  I was seeing a lot of useful stuff, like the 1 1/8" wood bit, the 3/8" open end wrench, and 7mm socket.  Amongst all the pig-iron I see, I've been finding a lot of bolts that take a star-bit driver and I found another driver today, this one a T20. I bet there's been 200 of those driver-bits in the last month.  Whuhuoy!!   I found an S-hook for a bungee cord but the none of the cords today were worth keeping. I picked up several hitch-pins and a couple of large hooks that ought to go with a tie down strap, not sure where the straps ended up.  The gas cap at the top right was just down the street from a gas station and when the dash malfunction warning light comes on, somebody will figure out they made an oops back at the gas station. 

      Now some days it's washer day, some it's drill driver/bit day, and today it's most certainly OneMoreNutInTheRoad day and I was selective with the 21 I picked up.  Same with the lug-nuts, I only picked up 4 but there were a lot more.  With as many as I've found by now I must have every make and model covered. Sorry, just a sec........no, seriously honey, there were some that I left where they were and.......oh, good eye-roll honey!  Where was I?  Oh yeah, there were more work gloves with jazzy names like Jaguar.  I don't suppose the average weekend grease monkey would be able to work on a Jag and the shop guys that do would be wearing something more practical like the Firm-Grip glove which I also found today.  Just one more addition to our automotive section in The 'Rundover' Store.  I 'hit for the extended cycle' today (penny,nickel,dime,quarter,socket,lug-nut) and again I had to laugh as that last elusive nickel finally showed itself out in a lane of traffic about 200 yards from me finishing up.  It's just one more symbol of how blessed I am, being able to get out every day and do something that I enjoy, being amused by the kind of silly stuff that ends up in the road, and sharing a smile and a wave with all the nice people that don't run me over out there.  That's always a plus.
