O.K., shoot and then duck. Here goes nuttin'

I was driving down the road a couple of weekends ago with 
SWMBO and GIT when SWMBO spotted this "DESIGNER YARDSALE" 
sign. Since I couldn't conceivably find anything that I 
could be interested in, I sputtered out a few laim excuses 
why we shouldn't stop. All this did was increase the amount 
of time it would take to turn the car around and hit the big 
sale.

It took five seconds to zero in on two 36" x 60" x 1+1/2" 
pieces of butcher block. $20 bucks later, I had one jammed 
into the back of the car. This guy stopped me to ask what I 
planned to do with it, to which I replied "I have no idea, 
but I'm sure that I need it".

That evening, while sipping a cold one and patting myself on 
the back for insisting that we stop to look.....I soon 
realized so many GOOD uses for that butcher block that I 
can't stop kicking myself for not picking up the other one.

Will I ever live this one down???

Jonathan Peck
