You gotta love Fayette County...

This is going to be long, so go to the bottom right now and I'll put some cliff notes down there for the lazy ones.

I ran for my camera and the batteries were dead. I found two more batteries in the case, dead too. Dammit, of all times to not have my camera ready. I quickly grabbed my cell, but they were gone in a flash.

So, Wifey and I got a new TV around Christmas when our old trusty 27" 14-year-old Sony blowed up. It's probably just a fuse in the power source, but all the more excuse to go buy a new one, right. The ground was soaking wet at the time. The only way to get the TV out of the house is out back, across deck, then down around yard on a dolly. Our garbage goes on Fridays. We debated throwing it out there and writing "FREE" on it and hoping someone would take it. We are both procrastinators, too. We had our stereo on top of the TV in the dining room. We ordered a new coffee table and had to arrange a bunch of other stuff. The coffee table came in last week and it is time for the TV to go.

Yes, it took almost four months for the new furniture to arrive and the ground/weather to cooperate.

I come home from work and lug it down to the end of the driveway... at about 4:32pm. Remember, Wifey and I had much debate about the garbage and the weather and the neighbors and the "FREE" sign. I come in the house, I change my clothes, I HEAR CAR DOORS SLAMMING. I look out and two dudes are loading it in a pick-up... at about 4:48pm.

They were looking around like they were really breaking the law, too. Hurrying like crazy.

I tried to take the pic. I did remember the description of the truck, though. Just in case anything else comes up missing any time soon. They looked like professionals.

CLIFF NOTES AS PROMISED: I set a junk TV out for garbage man and two gypsies came and took it in 16 minutes.

Haha!! People are too funny!! At least they took yours. I have an old floor model sitting on my front porch waiting for our township clean-up, I guess no one wants it, it's been there for 3 weeks now! Lol!!

I set a 19 inch out, had 2 to put out, but didnt want to overload the garbageman. I put one out, it wasnt even 20 minutes and it was gone, so I put the other one out and it was gone by morning.

nice adam... yea usually when we are putting stuff into the garbage we put it on freecycle first to see if anyone wants it, then off to the garbage day if no one has takin it by then.

"freecycle" that's hilarious.

[INSANELY CRAZY]

"freecycle" that's hilarious.

it is... but most of the time if you dont want something and you list it there, with in a day it's gone.saves me from having to put it out for the garbage or worry about taking big things to the dump.
