What with the weather doing as it has been, I just wasn't up to playing in the mud today. So, instead, to get my "fix", I went through some long put off cleaning of the attic. I came across this one box that I had to struggle to remember from whence it came? I recalled that this was one of a couple boxes of misc items I found in an old, abandoned building. It was 90 percent collapsed. A shed or out-building of some sort. I remember I was too afraid to pry around in it for fear of crashing the rest around my ears. (and or find that nest of vipers! :( )

The owner of the property said it was there when they bought the place and was scheduled for dozing very shortly as they were going to build a garage there. I asked if it was alright for me to poke around a bit and they said sure and have at it, but not to go inside and to take whatever I wanted. Well, I wasn't going in there, that was for sure! The corner that was left standing was leaning and only about 4 feet off the ground! :)

Now, ya gotta remember, I was brand new at this digemup hobby and a pure neophyte when it came to seeing possibilities! If I knew 1 tenth what I know now, I would have offered to doze the place myself! :)

Anyway, this box is the only one left I hadn't been through since waaaaaaay back then! So, like the proverbial kid in a candy store, I started to check the contents ONE - ITEM - AT - A - TIME! LOL ! I really have ONLY just started digging and unfortunately, it's not a very big box. Still, below is a sample of some of the things I'm finding in there.

The outside of the book is pretty bad, but the contents have weathered the time well. IMHO.

Yep, that's exactly what it is, an old, metal, bank. (no, no money in it. ;) ) Still.
