I found a Hasbro Tente Building Blocks 101 set underneath some stuff. I have no idea how long I've had it or where I got it. I buy very few toys, because I don't know a whole lot about them. I do know that anything 'Leggo-Like" sells well.
The box said something about it containing 95 blocks. I decided to count them to see how many were missin. Unless the box is factory sealed the odds of having all the parts are on the slim side. I counted 88 total pieces. A number verified by my helper cat, Simon.
I sold it to a lady in Quebec last evening. The USPS raised rates this week. The international rates went up big time!! She paid $10.99 for the blocks and around $15 for postage. The set was made in the late '70's. I sell a lot of nostalgia.
I sold a Pyrex baking dish to someone in Australia earlier this past week. Postage on that was $35. She asked about combining postage that purchase with a casserole. Postage on the two pieces would have been something like $68. She declined the casserole. If one wants something bad enough, they will pay the price.
Back to the building blocks . . . the box wasn't gonna fit in my mailbox, so that meant a trip to the post office. Two or three inches of snow fell last night and this morning.
Street conditions were on the messy side. I saw this gator with a snow blade at an intersection. This guy probably does parking lots, with cars in them. A nice size for that kind of situation. A couple winters ago, I saw a gator with a blade and a salt spreader in the back. Nice set up.
A few minutes later I spotted this Bobcat and snowblade. He had just finished touchin up a parking lot.
Since I was already out and about, I decided that I needed a blueberry Belgium waffle. And since I sent this video around this week, I knew I was gonna flub tellin the waitress that I would like a 'blueberry Belgium waffle," which I did. Can you say that three times fast?? Or even one time slow????
