One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Treasure!

I’ve happily been an avid user of eBay for several years now. I primarily sell my previous season’s equipment and other random outdoor gear that still holds residual value. When it comes to niche market items, nothing beats it.

However, when it comes to just selling junk, one should never underestimate the power of a garage sale! No ad fees, no taxes, no shipping, and straight up cold hard cash!

Yesterday, I held my first ever garage sale. Armed with an EZ up tent courtesy of Kroske Industries, some $.99 garage sale signs, post-it notes, and a sharpie, I had covered my overhead costs ($4.23) and was ready to go.


I primarily sold furniture that I had inherited in the purchase of my house. From that, I was able to earn $152!


As the money burnt a hole in my pocket like an eight year with a brand new magnified glass and some innocent ants, I ran off to Best Buy as soon as I closed shop to purchase a very much necessary appliance for the “Stein Theatre” (that’s what I decided to call my theatre). Yes, thanks to my entrepreneurial endeavor, patrons of the Stein Theatre can enjoy ice-cold beverages without even getting up from their seat and walking to the lobby!

There is a theatre in my house!

Through sheer luck and a perfect aligning of the planets I was able to acquire a 1080i HD digital projector this week for a very small price. Since then, I have become OBSESSED with building the most sensational theatrical experience possible in my basement.

Friends and family can look forward to weekly movie nights, outdoor bonfire movies, and PowerPoint presentations in my basement.

I’m taking suggestions and compiling a viewing schedule…please recommend any movies you would like to see on the big screen and in full Dolby Digital Surround, I will see if I can work them into my airings ASAP.

The end of a beautiful road.

A tear falls on my keyboard as I sit and type the words THE SEX PANTHERS ARE KNOCKED OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS AND THEIR SEASON IS OVER!

Unfortunately last Thursday the Sex Panthers suffered two hard-fought losses ending their season prematurely and with great remorse.

However, our heads weren’t hung too low for too long as we hopped in the team vehicle, slipped on our Cobra Kai T’s, took a vow of “no mercy”, and sped off to Port Hope, MI to participate in the first ever PH Coed Kickball Tournament.


I milled over in my head how I could write about this event in fashion that properly depicted descriptive justice to the magic that went on this past weekend. It was then I realized, how does one describe the Grand Canyon to it’s fullest without seeing it for one’s self? How does a man speak of the enormity of the mountains without going up into them? How can you describe the feeling of the first time you ride a bike without training wheels? The answer is simple…you cannot without actually experiencing it for yourself.

Although these pictures only captured a small percentage of the brilliance and Zen-like nirvana that was the PH Kickball Tourney, I will share them with you.










Although we did not come home the victors, we nabbed a respectable 3rd place overall.
