Get spooked!

$25 to $800

Oddball Flea Market​ is once a month in Absecon Nj on New Jersey Ave across from Jo and John’s Pizza. I was checking out all the tables and I came across this star.I asked the person selling it what it was. They said there was a charity auction where they got a bunch of celebrities to draw/paint on a blank star. Then they would auction them off to the highest bidder.

It was so weird I had to buy it. They sold it to me for $25.

You can see the star is in the catalog and in this picture. It was painted by the original cast of Chicago. I had more pictures of the magazine but I lost them when I got a new phone. Tom Hanks did one Drew Barrymore and even Donald Trump. Well at work, every Christmas we work with a company called “Faces Of Autism”. There is a list of 30 tree themes to choose from and one happened to be Broadway. I jumped at the chance to turn the oddity into a commodity. My boss Henry and I took on the task together. They give you a $300 limit to spend on the tree that they will reimburse. Long story short we ended up paying $600 and each of us losing $150. We bought a broadway.com gift card for $300 and another $300 on decorations and the stanchions. My friend Joel works at a bar called Iggys in NYC and got us a gift card for his bar for drinks before or after the show. Plus, with the star the price of the tree was over $900

We tried to mesh broadway shows, cabaret, phantom of the opera and Chicago. We were front runners until the end, when we came in fourth place auctioning our tree for $800. It was our first and last attempt doing a tree. To be honest I wish I saved it because it was such a weird and bizarre find. Now someone else has this rare artifact. Congrats to the winner and the charity Faces Of Autism.

What you Chalkin about

Chalk to me​

Grime level

​went out to eat at a buffet and right outside the entrance, all the pillars out front had fish parts around them. 

Like a morbidly obese clown that smells like a cheesesteak with peanut butter and pachouli, it was very Odd and Nasty.

Berlin thangs

$5 for Sassenstien ​

3 rings for $5. Listen, in the early 90s I would buy one ring every weekend from the Surf Mall in ocean city New Jersey for $7. In 8th grade I had a ring for every finger because I thought they looked so cool.

They’re considered “ biker rings” and that was just another part of my weird personality and gear choices. I remember the math teacher saying “ you’re wearing more rings than me”. After she said that I stopped wearing them. I did weird things like that all the time though, like after reading of mice and men I wore a glove on my hand for an entire week. Teachers allowed me to wear it but they all asked me about it. I’d say “ i keep vasoline in there to keep my hand soft for my woman”. I never got in trouble but after the week I got bored suffering the day with a damn glove on my hand.I didn’t buy the shirt but I love it

Waiting for our irrigation pump to be installed

​we got a new pump put in on the course and of course in April we had a heat wave come through and start burning up the greens.We had to figure out how to water the greens to keep them from burning up. We used a trash pump, made a hose hookup for the discharge and used the waters near the greens to water them.any greens without a pond source we used a sprayer filled with water, attached a hose to the pump and were able to water

Big issue was the grass became hydrophobic and didn’t penetrate.

Because we made this move we were able to save the greens. They struggled but we didn’t lose them.

Drought 2022

​I found these pictures I sent to the old general manager on my iPad. I lost them all when my phone died. A little back story, we ran out of water from our irrigation pond. Our well pump that fills the pond broke as well. We had no rain and we lost a lot of grass.

$5 Find

Best deal for a bag. I just can’t help but think of the destruction to the lungs the person endured to get this bag. Thank you though!!

Only in Sleep rehearsal

This to me is perfection. My wife played this for me a couple years ago and something reminded me of it today. Took me forever to find it so I’m putting it here so I won’t forget and I can share it with you.
