Are they opened or did you keep it all sealed?

All sealed. At least the modern stuff. My original vintage stuff (the keepers) were all opened and chucked around, lovingly, of course!

Think I will go through the boxes/tubs this weekend and check to see if I want any of it. Will see if any of the "rare" items are worth listing on ebay.
The rest I may shop around to some collectibles joints around town.

Most of it is individual figures, but there are some diorama things, vehicles, misc stuff.

CHA CHA CHA!!!

Fished every weekend since May. Great relaxer

I'm going out this afternoon, I talked to one of my fishing buddies and he said he still had 4 dozen large leeches we bought last spring. I can't find any large ones anymore, they are out of season. He also said he had his minnow traps out, so we should have plenty of bait along with the night crawlers I have.

It just got finished raining, but the wind is blowing a bit right now. Not good for fishing, we'll have a problem keeping an anchor set.

Good luck with it. We can all use a few hundred extra...

I don't know that you want him do that in this case Andrew....

It was a play on the diarrhea song....

Ah, yes. Perhaps I was aiming too high for the MT.

Thanks, Dan. It will be interesting to go through the collection to see what I have. There are a few figures I know I will keep, but there are others that I just bought because they were there.

Have to decide whether it will be better to sell as lots or just one big conglomeration of galacticrap.

New neighbor has a dog that howls like a wolf whenever she leaves. I've tried talking to her but she's ignored me and won't answer her door when she's there so I left a note. Nothing changed so I notified the property management and they gave her a notice. Yesterday, I receive a note on my door from her apologizing and saying that she's fixing it today. Today, the dog has been howling from 9 AM until now.

Any new books incoming?

We have a similar situation with a house a few doors around the corner. The people go out just about every night. From 8-midnight they leave their dog in the back yard and he barks almost constantly. While the noise is bad, I am most concerned about the poor dog's welfare. Another neighbor called Animal Control, but never heard the followup.

On a related matter, our next door neighbors got all bent outta shape at me when I told them (for the fifth time) that they need to not let their dog lie/XXXX/run around on our front lawn. Our Jack sees him through the front window and loses his mind over it. I tell them all the time and they act as if I am being unreasonable. Imagine, I have the gall to not want their unleashed dog on my property! Especially annoying as they are the "neighborhood president and secretary", whatever the hell THAT means. Apparently, when I shovel their dog's XXXX back onto their lawn, I am just being rude.

They are idiots.

Nothing special, other than textbooks.

Going to have to put off fun purchases till October when Chris and I start getting regular checks again.

We have a whopping $400 to last us until mid-September. Thus, the selloff of junk!

One of my dogs doesn't bark at all. It's quite nice actually.

You should know better! LOL

Quite annoying.
Fortunately, when the dogs next door start barking it's a good thing. Usually means one of the bears is around. They are the alarm

That sucks Andrew. This neighbor has two more complaints before the dog or her goes. I love dogs but she leaves it for nearly 10 hours a day and I feel terrible for it.

Can I say good morning even if I just woke up?
