Who hasn\’t heard the old saw umpteen to the nth times? The good, the bad, and the ugly.

The good: this morning I hitched up the trailer for a ride to the salvage store. For less than $29, I brought home a decent haul.

For instance, I found boxes of mac \’n\’ cheese, four for one dollar. I already had several boxes of the stuff at home; but when I find a good price like that, I stock up. I found bologna and hot dogs for much less than they\’d cost at the regular supermarket. Bread was $1.25 a loaf; and I even found a Xmas ornament shaped like a choo-choo for fifty cents. I got it to give to my nephew when Xmas comes.

The bad: I need bananas, which the salvage store doesn\’t usually have. I wanted 13-gallon garbage bags, but couldn\’t find any. It\’s a good thing I have time to find some before my current supply runs out.

Getting back home was rather tough. Normally a 10 mph wind isn\’t too bad, but having that trailer to pull of course made it harder. I had to gear down and resign myself to plodding along.

As for the ugly, the forecast for tomorrow doesn\’t look so good. There\’s a 50% chance of rain, and possibly T-storms. The wind will be rather strong, too. I guess I\’ll just have to take a chance, and ride. It\’s the old saw again: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
