Found Some Old Toys

So my mom called the other day and said she was cleaning out the garage attic and found a bunch of my old toys and wanted to know if I wanted them or if she should just throw them out...

So I'm on my way over to my mom's and I'm wondering if this or that is in there. The stuff I had so much fun with growing up. Things like a tin spinning top, the kind with the plunger that you could get going really fast if you pumped it really hard. Or maybe the stupid pull along crazy cars with bobble head drivers and probably lead paint all over it!

When I got there, as i suspected, my mom had saved everything, even extra pegs from my Lite Brite! There was my Krusty Jack in the Box, my tin drum (THAT had to be annoying when I was growing up!), even an old tin dump truck that, honestly, I don't remember even having, but hey.

After a little bit of poking around on the Internet I found out that these things are called "vintage" now, there's even a website dedicated to them at VintageTinToys.info. Lots of really cool stuff on that site! Anyway, it was a wonderful walk down memory lane picking through my vintage tin toys and remembering...

Another Beautiful Day...

It was yet another beautiful day outside today but today, unlike yesterday, I actually got to spend a little time out in it! Raider and I went outside and played ball, checked the mail, and just sat outside under the shade tree while we waited for the little one to get home. All in all, I'd say that makes it a pretty good day!

Something I'm thinking about checking out

I've been seeing a lot on the Internet about this thing called Project Payday and I've been thinking about checking it out. I googled it today and found a really thorough review (along with a great tip) at Life In the Internet. You can find the review here, Make Real Life WebMoney With Project Payday. I looked around the rest of the site and theres some pretty good stuff on this site to check out. Lots of ads but lots of really cool content too!

If you have any experiences with Project Payday, let me know. I'm going to keep doing my research and see if this is something worthwhile or just another scam.

Later.

The Sun is Warm and the Grass Is Green

As I sit here and look out my window into the wonderful day that is today, I can't help but be reminded of those powerful words of Mr. Miagi from the Karate Kid, "Sun is warm, grass is green." Man how I would love to run right out there and walk barefoot through the grass! Ah well, maybe later this afternoon! I sure hope there aren't any fire ants out there!
