First of all: Happy Belated Birthday to my nephew Jack! September is just chock-full of birthdays, and we have terrible memories!
*sigh* Lloyd has a problem. Can someone please tell him that even if something is dirt cheap, if you don’t need it it is not a bargain. We went to another surplus auction and I walked around with him at the beginning to look at the stuff. We stopped at these two giant machines with rollers.
Lloyd: Hey! We had these at Metromail! (a college job where they packed junk mail) They’re for bundling things. You put something in here and it automatically wraps it in strapping tape.
Lauren: I’m hungry.
Lloyd: I wonder if they work?
Lauren: I’m bored.
Lloyd: These are cool!
Lauren: I’m leaving.
I came back from shopping a couple of hours later to see this.
Naturally I assumed that Lloyd was helping this guy learn how to use the guy’s new bundling machine. That Lloyd – so helpful. Then he turned around, saw me, and grinned a ‘you’re gonna kill me’ grin.
Lloyd: They were just two-fifty!
Lauren: I’m leaving.
Does anyone need Lloyd bundled and shipped to their house? I can do it automatically.
