Oh Senor Don Gato was a cat
On a high red roof Don Gato sat
He went there to read a letter,
Meow, meow, meow
Where the reading light was better,
Meow, meow, meow
'Twas a love note for Don Gato

Craigslist Day   
08:39pm 01/07/2009
  Today I sold a case of 1,000 Nintendo "Power" and "Reset" buttons, and listed an old TV from the '50s or '60s, a Reel to Reel deck with some tapes, and an HDTV tuner.

I like this picture. There's a bigger version behind the cut.

ENDLESS TAPE

  IMG_2988

You know how when you see answering machines at the Goodwill the tapes are always missing? I HAVE THEM!

But seriously, I (try to) pay for them, which leads to:

1. "No price? I cannot sell this!"
2. "No price? IT IS FREE!"
3. "WTF IS THIS? OKAY $0.49. PLZ GO AWAY."
4. "This is a tape. It is $0.49."

SOLD! (household items) Alpine Air 150 Air Purifier Ozone Generator Ionizer   
10:20pm 28/02/2009
 
mood: drunk
Thanks Randy, for the prompt reply and pickup. I hope your air is now as pure as an Alpine thunderstorm.

Craigslist post of the day for Saturday, Feb 28th 2009. This could become a thing.

Alpine Air 150 Air Purifier - $25 OBO.

http://omaha.craigslist.org/hsh/1055041435.html

This model was recalled due to "TOO MUCH OZONE". Not sure if this particular unit is pre or post recall. Similar to models still sold by Alpine for $300 to $600. Take a chance, live a little! (DIE A LITTLE!)

Emily's home! Hide the TVs!   
05:37pm 17/02/2009
  Spent the morning stacking up antenna TVs to watch today's analog TV shutdown. I'm not sure why I used six TVs when only two stations were doing it today. I overdo things sometimes.

I posted a two minute long YouTube of the project to the Omaha LJ community here.

And for Evan who is stuck on dial-up there's before and after pictures on my Flickr.

  VIC-20 It's a Living Tape

Cleaning/Selling because I'm not Working/Sleeping. This one's from a VIC-20 software CASSETTE TAPE. Complete in box, but nowhere on the box or instruction manual is a single picture of what the game looks like. People in 1982 would buy ANYTHING!

We did it!

mood: accomplished


[info]wellnevermind and her muscular friend helped me score this sweet vintage drumming-machine for $5.

I had to buy a HUGE Wurlitzer organ to get it. Pretty sure the organ was all-vacuum-tube. It had those flip-out handles on the back that pianos have and I could still barely lift just one end of it. Full pedal-board and bench too.

$5 for the whole set.

The guys at Goodwill warehouse helped me load it onto a flatbed dolly, and I wheeled it past a grocery store to the next thrift store in the strip-mall and re-donated it.

At first the Thrift World handler guys said "we don't accept THOSE!" but I had asked two different cashiers if they would take it before buying it and bringing it over, so they pretty much had to take it. The Goodwill warehouse prices were still on it, a series of mostly crossed-out numbers from 30 to 25 to 20 to 15 to 10 to 5.

Just as we were walking out the door, the Thrift World guys saw the prices, but I think they thought they were form a yard sale. "Shit! They couldn't even get $5 for it!" was the last thing I heard.
