Wittmann Flea........

I woke up Saturday knowing it was Saturday......the real Saturday.  I was anxious to re-deploy the patio awning to see how our repairs had done, but it is a two person job.....so I waited patiently for her loveliness to emerge from the bedroom......around 10 am, having given TLE an appropriate amount of time to wake up, sip a cup of coffee and peruse her Facebook page, TLE and I went outside to deploy the awning......and just as we hoped the repairs have held!  The awning looks great, and the repaired tears are not even evident anymore.

Every Saturday in what passes for "downtown" Wittmann there is a flea market that attracts a lot of vendors and patrons.  We had browsed through some of the stalls two weeks ago, but it was at the end of the day that Saturday and many vendors had already packed up and left.  I would say 75% of the items for sale are/were used tools, so if you are a guy there was a lot to look at.  There were a few tools I almost pulled the trigger on, but in the end I had to admit to myself that I already have plenty of tools.  TLE managed to find a couple of folks selling jewelry.

Tom got a picture of this cool, old Gilig bus conversion

I think we were there less than an hour.....I ended up buying one license plate I "thought" I didn't have (Iowa), and then found out upon returning "home" that I did already have an Iowa plate.....:(.....well, it was only $2.....and TLE bought some small jewelry items, then we were done.  I have a list of license plates I still need, and I meant to take it with me, but forgot.  Making lists is a good idea, but they only work if have them on your person when you need them.  I seem to be good at making lists, but not so good at taking them with me when I leave "home".....I should probably start putting all my lists on my Samsung Note 3 phone using the "note" feature......after all that is what it is for, right? Hmmm....I think I'll do that right now.....be back in a few.......okay, that was easy....now back to Saturday....

We arrived back "home" around 11 am and I settled in to watching more NCAA March Madness basketball....at some points during the day there were 3 games in progress at the same time....pure heaven.  There were a few upsets once again, but no overtimes.  Sunday will be the continuation of the round of 32, and then no games again until Thursday, when it starts again.  The last game ended just before 9:30 pm.  

Once in a while you just need a lazy day doing nothing.......thanks for stopping by!
