You took a toothbrush to your baseboards every monday morning? Whoa! That is bad. Thankfully you’ve recovered from that.

Speaking of record albums, the other day (since we’re moving) i took a bunch of stuff over to the Salvation Army. And an older couple was there dropping off two boxes of old vinyl albums. I told them they could take them down to either of the two used record stores in our neighborhood and sell them. They put those suckers right back in the trunk. They had no idea that vinyl has made a comeback. And one of the albums was an old Burt Bacharach album (soundtrack to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid). “I said Wow Burt Bacharach. My dad would die for that. Can i buy that from you?” The old man just handed it to me. I asked if they had any Pete Fountain but they didn’t. What a lucky day that was.

I have a bunch of Pete Fountains - in my storage unit, where I can’t get to them.

But, lol, I wouldn’t share them, anyway - sorry!

My ex owned 99% of the records, so he took them when he moved. No problem. The problem was when he met his wife, he got rid of everything, so she’d think he was someone else. He gave the collection to my 2nd oldest daughter’s worthless bf, who stashed them in the carport rafters. It can get to zero in the winter, and 115 in the summer. I damn near cried. How cool of you to clue that couple in on making some money off of their collection, and for them to give you that Burt Bacharach :)

The baseboards do need cleaning, as do the walls and windows. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to hire someone to do it. Doctor told me years ago to avoid repetetive motion to keep my discs from shifting. We rent, and I don’t want the landlords to think we’re piggies.

Ooops, I reorganized the records every Monday. We’d have people over the weekend and there were records all over the place. The baseboards were like once a month.
