Free to good home, part II



The annual spring cleaning frenzy has taken hold in the Garage. Quite a few stray gloves were tossed along with the year's casualties in the Bird Feeder department.

In the year we've owned this house, I've picked up stray kid stuff all around the yard. The first month was the most fruitful with 3 or four baseballs, two basketballs and 4 golf balls (3 wiffle, 1 regular). We had some stuff that the previous owners left behind, so we sent the stray balls along with it. Since then, whenever I found a ball I threw it into a box in the garage. That box got cleaned out tonight and it's contents may surprise you:

  • 9 golf balls (6 regular, 2 wiffle, 1 playskool)
  • 2 playskool golf clubs (1 driver, 1 iron)
  • 4 baseballs
  • 1 tennis ball
  • 3 basketballs (2 regular, 1 nerf)
  • 1 home base
  • 2 matchbox cars

I think we've found most of the stray items, but the first mowing of the year might turn up something new.

To the point of the post.

Since I scored the monster toolbox from Sears, I don't need my spare box. This is a Stack-On three drawer toolbox that measures 20" wide and 8" deep. The top opens and I don't have a key for the lock. It is free to the first person who emails me at marist89(at)excite.com [replace the (at) with @]. I don't mind holding on to it until I see you next. If I get no takers, it goes to the Holy Family Regional Christmas Tag Sale in November.
