I did get the rapper fixed - it was just a speaker wire that needed to be resoldered. Time to start packing stuff up, just watching TV, didn't get too much sleep last night

Spirit sale now "ends" Friday - but no specific time listed

Do you use new cardboard each year?

I have (3) 33g bins filled already, 3 more mpty ones to fill
(4) Inflatables will go back in their boxes. 2 others will fill another bin
A box for the rapper, a box for the heart ripper - I may be able to fit some odds & ends in these boxes

I'm beat - going to bed, the rest has to wait for tomorrow/Friday & the weekend. I need to get the water out of my 325g tank on the back porch & seal it before the temps dip down below freezing
