Original box, papers plus the toy itself is in excellent shape. Great story too. Vintage at it's best! 😁 The new "Guardian of the Mibs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Well, up at 5AM, today is canning day! Boil all jars, boil the tomatoes for skinning, chop up all the peppers available with the garlic, onion and other goodies and put together some Salsa! Full morning. After that, going to start prepping everything for the Mississippi river Sunday morning! Decided I was going to try out one of the vintage "River Runt" lures before hitting the bottom out deep. Heddon power! Looking forward to seeing Captain Tom and his weathered face pull up in the skiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted August 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Patty had her sister stop by for a visit this afternoon, along with her nephew Toby (who I gifted a jar of mibs too a week ago) and her niece Emily. They hung out for a few hours playing bags and visiting, and when I got home from work, they had just picked a bunch of veggies too take home with them. Emily picked a couple of giant tomatoes, the bigger one weighing 1.6 pounds (pic taken with a penny too show actual size) 😳... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted August 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 11 hours ago, Ric said: Congrats, a pretty good return on investment, for this ticket, anyway. This little town of less than 1,000 residents has had it's share of big winners over the years, the biggest ones being a local girl fresh off too college about 8 years ago hit $30,000 on a $3 ticket, and she rarely played scratch offs! Couple years before that an older gentleman hit $500,000 here on a $20 scratch off (I think for that game there were less than 10 available to win in the whole state). Bad thing was, he was a horrible gambler. His house and property were in a shambles as he spent Hundreds every week. He passed not too long after that win, leaving his only relative, a nephew, with his personals. Not sure what the man had too his name, but the house and buildings on his property have been torn down and replaced with metal sheds and a storage building. I actually remember, when he won that money, he became irate when he discovered that he wasn't getting the WHOLE 500k. State and Federal then were about 32.5 percent I believe. What made him madder was the fact that the store he bought it from received a "royalty" if you will from the lottery office. He thought that should be his too and went to the store and made a scene, after which he was permanently barred from entry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
