Trash Treasure!

So last Friday I had to go to the post office and the store. When I got to the road that I go down to get there I was met with a detour sign and forced to go well out of my way .

On the map above blue is my normal path red was my forced path .On that path there is a house that sits far back off the road and is really only visible in winter when all the leaves are gone.This house looks a lot like the Adams family house and its one of those places where teenagers dare each other to run up and touch the front door.I had heard many story's about who lived in the house (none of them true) over the years but really I never think about the place at all because 99% of the time I'm going in the opposite direction .So as we drive by this house I see that they have trimmed the tree's and there is a cubic ton of junk/ trash / stuff sitting out right near the road.We drove by and I saw stuff and some of the stuff looked like good stuff so I forced my wife to turn around and pull over .What I thought I saw from the car wasn't what I thought it was but what I didn't see from the car was 2 of the things I have been searching for.. Let me introduce you to Remco Tin Man robot and Mr. Machine!!

come to find out the house had been empty for the last few years and before that an elderly woman had been living there alone for 20 years after the kids moved away and her husband died.In her time alone she became a hoarder who had thrown NOTHING away .I saw many great things but most of it was so nasty I didn't want to touch it or my wife refused to let me put it in the car.A mini man tantrum occurred when I tried to put an incredibly dirty / smelly box of Major Matt Mason toys in the back seat and she said no and then said no to the trunk and then the back seat again and then threatened to leave me on the side of the road.......anyway I did get to bring these 2 guys home and after a week of cleaning and sanitizing they are fitting right into the Midnight collection!
