While cleaning out the basement

To get ready for all the work in the basement we needed to do some housekeeping. We cleared out the bedroom of junk. We found the blueprints to the house, I kept those. But I don't know why? They are the original blueprints which has the house as a 3 bedroom 1 bath with all the bedrooms on the 1st floor and the basement as unfinished. The house is now 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, with 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor and and 1 in the basement. And the house is shorter and has only a 1 car attached garage that what is in the blueprints. Someday it might have 3 bedrooms upstairs....but as my Dad told me, that would be the next owners job.

We found and threw away my Dad's old Postal worker uniform. I wanted to keep it for that day when the e-mail problems at work finally drive me over the edge and I go "E-Postal". (I am just kidding).

Going through the closet I found "Uranus". I thought it was long gone, but it's been in the closet all this time. I thought I lost Uranus. It was a book on the planet Uranus. Now if I could find my Bass I will be happy. We also found more rolls of of toilet paper, kept near Uranus.

Sitting on a shelf was a cookie tin. When I found it I told Susan that is it still had cookies in it I was going to die. I opened it and sure enough there were cookies in it. I did the phoeny falling over backwards. I twas like that commerical were the women smells the Chinese food and passes out.

We also found a big map of Rhinelander. A map that my dad was keeping upto date and correcting. It was thrown out because it did not have the locations to spot hodags marked.

We cleanered the basement and took everything to the Onieda county landfill. Which is always fun. Susan always enjoys going to the dump. Especially when there is glass to break. While at the dump Susan spotted some chairs, which made me wonder. They charge you to drop things off at the dump, but if you take things out...do they pay you?

While leaving the dump you could hear "Big girls don't cry" by Fergie playing in the distance. I guess those dump guys are the sensitive type.
