Scrap

We are in the mad scramble to be ready for the May FLEA and it is compounded this year by the fact that I'll be on crutches for six weeks starting May 18th...the day after. 

It's a little like Groundhog Day this whole FLEA prep thing and after doing it now for four years I see there are a few things I can always count on.

• That box I've been searching for for months will be located in the first few minutes and by the end of the day it will be lost again.
• We will always have enough stuff for the first FLEA...and the second and third and sixth.
• The barn we're supposedly building needs to be at least as big as our garage and maybe even double or triple. There's definitely room for it.

And lastly...

• That pile of pieces and parts that seemed worth saving last Fall looks an awful lot like scrap metal in May.
