sax in the barracks

I’ve never hung about reddit but I really liked this post. The restoration really works for me (too). Maybe I should visit reddit more often.

Rolled through the Monstromart (Oh, great selection and rock-bottom prices. But where is the love?) to pick up some 8x8x16 concrete blocks, having once again forgotten that I am old, and as I left once again spotted the luminous flowers of and fleshy leaves of phalaenopsis orchids lying in the dumpster. I think we’ve got four or five different species now, and at least ten plants.

The stupid FIOS box has been complaining about a bad battery ever since the last power outage (big beech tree this time) but John Witmer gave me the quick fix. I knew that FIOS battery was fine. Unlike the alarm system battery.

dumpster orchids

I found five large phalenopsis orchids and some other nice plants in a cardboard recycling bin behind the local Monstromart (Ooh, that’s a great price for twelve pounds of nutmeg!).

Apparently somebody in the garden center thought the recycling bin was a trash can. I got about ten different plants all told, but I had to pass up three arbor vitae trees because I didn’t have the trailer with me.

There were several other people dumpster diving & we exchanged polite greetings.
