Man, you folks must have better thrift stores than we do. I live in a university town and the thrift stores are filled with garbage they've "donated" aka "dumped because their complex doesn't offer busted furniture hauling and it costs money to take it to the dump".
 
Lucky for me. The garbage is in the side of the road and live in a very popular college area (Syeacuse Orange for NCAA fans). But, we have a decent selection ( when I went few years ago anyway).

The stuff the kids leave was getting so bad they now set up "dump and go" places around town so they can control what goes into the garbage.
 
:)   tHAT IS A NICE PLATE {STOOPID CAPS LOCK BUTTON}  i CAN EITHER LOOK AT THE SCREEN OR AT THE KEYBOARD WHILE TYPING

I've not seen the little camper truck before.  If you remember the year and model you could google it.  I'm always curious about the price of things especially older stuff.  My Mom said I'm like Granpa...we always  like to read the want ads and it doesn't matter if we need anything or not.

I have a friend who not to long ago had to tase a 300lb+ family member to the floor.  Big young fella that suffers from IABS   "I am the boss syndrome" his Pop's old school...there are certain things you say or do in his house that are not tolerated.  Attacking your elders is #1 on that Hit Parade.

I told him of your signature line and he started laughing........who is the guy the quote is from?  if you don't mind

I got this cool little plate at the flea market today for a buck. Has a small paper "Made in Japan" label on the back, 7.5". Saw the little camper but it was out of my price range at $5, matchbox size, must be something special!

I would have so dug in my shoe to get the 5 bucks, and what a cool little plate. Thanks for sharing

No. It was Andrew Meyer.
Ah, just as your sig says. I was wondering if you were going by two different names? :p

I scored this Springfield Analog Weather Station at the local Goodwill for $2

Think it goes good with the decor.
