Friday the 13th

Last week I posted several bobbleheads and Braves / UGA / Clemson / and GT garments for sale on my Facebook bobblehead group. Man that's a lots of work, communicating back trying to set up deals with guys who are busy, and maybe aren't the best communicators. Not sure I'm ready to spend so much time wheeling and dealing right now. Too much other stuff going on right now.

Earlier this week I ran into a sharp looking young guy at a thrift store who had quit his job to sell stuff on eBay full time. I should've asked him a few questions. Gotta have a big space to store items until they sell. Then you gotta box and package and ship. Lot's of work.   

It's almost easier to post items for sale on eBay or Poshmark, but then they take a cut, and you have to ship. Poshmark sends you the shipping label, paid for by the buyer. Easier. Bobbles are better to meet up with people, and they don't seem to sell as fast on eBay. But no one seems to be buying bobbles any more, especially older bobbles.

We did clear our some of Ceil's stuff in my office. Eventually I'll be able to display some stuff in there, starting with my Olympic torch. 

A grammar school classmate passed away in Macon, Kim Williams. 67 years old. A neighbor passed away as well. Brian Hunt. 77 years old. Old Man Winter isn't kind.

Not much going on with us. This morning I moved the cars, walked Winnie, read my book, than hit the gym. Forgot my watch so I couldn't log my workout. Lifted weights. Stretched. Sauna. Treadmill for 30 minutes. Then Publix and a visit to LA Fitness to see if Medicare gets me in there to work out. Trader Joes for Valentines stuff. And Chickfila. Dropped a package off at a neighbor's house. 

Ceil is having lunch with a friend, then getting her hair done. I gotta go back out to mail something. 

T-shirts: Based on the color shirt that I am wearing, I try to stick to a white, grey, or black t-shirt. Sometimes I mix in navy, or one of the light blue Grizzlies t-shirts that I have.     

DAVE WINFIELD  [SABR Biowas honored as the first recipient of the Rickey Award in 1992. In 2014, Anthony Rizzo became the final recipient. In 1979, Winfield was third in MVP voting, behind Willie Stargell & Keith Hernandez. Winfield led in RBI (118), OPS (166), TB (333), & IBB (24). In Game 6 of the 1992 WS, he became “Mr. Jay” (shedding his previous “Mr. May” epithet) as he delivered the game-winning 2-run double in the 11th inning.
