My mancave kind of got out of control this past couple a months. We cleaned out the aunt and uncle’s place for sale (it sold for three quarters of a mil - it’s nuts) and a bunch of their stuff landed here. I have ALL of Roy’s cameras, pictures, negs, slides, and assorted photo gear. The projection screens and slide projectors went to some camera club members. It still leaves the pile in my family room.
Been sorting out what is obvious junk and has no collector or display value - took it to the dump. Put a bunch of the old camera stuff on display. Organized some crap I don’t know what do with yet and it goes to the storage locker. Having to organize my own camera gear as well. I buy stuff and then forget I have it because the wife shoves it into a corner before I can use it. We just had another fight this morning about her staying out of this space, period. I don’t touch her stuff in the bedroom or her office so keep out of my area.
I also inherited some A/V equipment from Roy. My daughter insisted on keeping a VCR and DVD player, so they’re in the mancave’s shelf now and I’ll hook them up this evening. Well, the DVD anyhow. I need an adapter for the VCR as my TV is too new and lacks compatible inputs. The very nice Sony cassette deck I saved also got installed. I think it looks better. It also makes me happy that every component in there is Sony. I really like Sony.
Just listed a couple of refurbed vintage receivers on eBay this morning. They’ve been ready for a while, it’s just been a matter of having the energy. Speaking of which, I’m in my chair waiting for the latest good a-fib episode to pass and then I take in the recycling.
My apartment inspection was on Thursday so all my cleaning is done now. I don’t have anything to do this weekend. This coming Tuesday I’m going to donate red blood cells again at the blood bank.
I went in because my church was doing a blood drive. Because of my blood type matched a sick baby and burn victim they specifically asked me to donate red blood cells and not whole blood.
I disclosed all my medications and medical conditions to them, and they still wanted my blood back in September I think. They just emailed me to come in again.
Cleaned poo and changed bedding in daughters hamster cage/habitat this morning. Id make her do it but I don’t think she’d be as neat about it as I’d like. Took care of doggo and helped wife change a couple light bulbs in kitchen ceiling light/fan. Now just trying to muster the ambition to take my weekly shower. Oh yeah, and praying for spring already now that the holidays are over.
