Busyness As Usual

If you know me, you'll know I've been spending a lot of time lately going through boxes of old belongings. Some of them actually aren't mine at all, but have been left here by various people who stayed with us over the years.

Yesterday I pulled a bunch of records out of a tote and put them on a shelf so I could get the tote out of the way. I don't remember purchasing these records, but there were a lot of decent ones. Most would have probably turned their noses up because many of the sleeves were damaged, but the records inside, the bit I care about because that's where the music is, were pristine. So onto the shelf with them. I'll have to take my player down and hook it up later on.

Also found a notebook where I had written down the username/password for one of the very first website 'forums' I ever joined. It made me stop and look for a hot minute and then wonder if they were still usable. It was one of those old BB-type forums where each topic added would bump the one on the bottom of the page off. Back when "bump" wasn't quite as frowned upon because you might be saving months of conversation.

Weirdest thing I found was the headlight lens to an antique car. Just a huge convex chunk of glass. Apparently it was found on a friend of the family's farm when putting up new fence posts. I had to hide it underneath a bunch of stuff because that thing would probably burn my little house down if the sun got into it! I don't know what kind of car it's from and it'll probably be hard to figure out unless someone who is knowledgeable about antique cars looks at it. It's just plain and smooth.
