JJ Spring 2025.

Sunday Morning, GPS steered us Wrong, back to The Fairgrounds.

; )

but, it was a Scenic Drive!!

The Iowa State Capitol...

is

Beautiful.

<3

{Above is this morning's Fairfax, City Hall... exchange, concerning long overdue public records. 

Lawyer Meardon... notified me of IDOT's 'Public Records' on Thursday, during Set Up, at JJ. }

Never Fails. 

It seems, the reason the Junk Jubilee posts are so Large on the computer, and... perfect on phones, is because I loaded them from my Android with no wifi.

???

I know one thing, I can't re-write them all... sadly. 

'Life'... is Hittin' me Hard, since... I stepped out of The Ford, last night.

So, check 'em out... with a Smart Phone!! I'm leavin' 'em. They're Good.

; )

Hahahahaha!!!

Posted some of my favorite JJ Images, above, that a computer can understand.

<3

Pal, Allyson... brought the Vintage Rugs, and Fabric... I couldn't haul on The Ford, last night, this early afternoon.

Rain, Snow... and Vintage Textiles, don't mix well.

; )

Allyson is Very Excited about Gold Rush... in May, Rochester, MN.

I... find That... 

Surprising.

; )

Pal, Dale... and me, were Certain, once Allyson saw The Other Side of 'Shows', she'd most certainly...

'Reconsider'... being One Of US!!!

Hahahahahahaha!!!

: )

Hmmm...

maybe, 

maybe...

Allyson...

 is...

 as

 Crazy as We.

; )

oh...

dear.

; )

Hahahahahahaha!!!!

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

Junk Jubilee Spring '25

Too Funny.

I've had to post on my phone, for the last several days...at JJ.

oops.

: )

Blogger, it seems, doesn't like my little Android.

: (

FB loaded well, Blogger... did, on the phone, not on the Web.

: (

Stay Tuned.

I'll write the Entire JJ 'Journey',

 and...

Then Some, 

in the next few days.

It'll be a 'Novel'.

: )

Stay Tuned.

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

{My First Priority tomorrow morning, is shooting off an e-mail to Fairfax's Mayor, and Cynthia Stimpson, Fairfax's City Clerk.

We paid a Whole Bunch of money, in advance... to Fairfax, Iowa... City Hall, for a Public Records Request concerning our land...

Bike Trails...  The West Cemetery Road Bridge Project, The Highway 151 Highway Project, and more...

 back on February 18, 25.

We hear Crickets... from Fairfax.

: (

The IDOT... 

charged us Much less, than Fairfax.

{yet... exorbitant... in my opinion, for

'Public Records'.}

The Iowa Department of Transportation...

has supplied us, recently...

 with 2800 Pages of Public Records, 

concerning...

'All Concerned'.

We're waiting... 

waiting....

for

 Fairfax, Iowa's 

'records'... 

to compare against

IDOT's, and others.}

Six Days on the Road Dave Dudley

Spring Junk Jubilee.... History.

Home.

; )

Had a Great Day 3!!

; )

Much Busier than I'd expected.

Sunday's can surprise Ya.

Most of the time, they are slow... at the end of a Show Weekend, however...

I've had Sundays... that would BLOW Your Socks Off.

: )

First thing this morning, when Allyson, and I walked into JJ, there was a Lady waiting for me.

I'd purchased The Sweet Bunny, above... from her.

A Lovely Floor Lamp, and... a Walking Garden Cultivator... as well. 

{Her Husband, was a Gem. : ) Great Folks. }

: )

They showed me an image of something in their garage, yesterday, I... sadly, couldn't use... but, noticed the Sweet...little Screw Jack, 'Bottle Jack', told them... I did like that, if, and when they wanted to part with it.

: )

They Had That Old Bottle Jack In Hand, this morning.

<3

Wanted to 'Give' it, to me.

<3

Oh My!!

<3

No Way.

Insisted I purchase it, and... They Spend the Dough, on Coffee and Rolls!!

Hahahahahaha!!!

<3

Load Out.

: )

Much Smaller Load...

than what we pulled In with, Twice.

; )

Allyson, 'Downsized' Very Well, Too!!

<3

It was Raining and SNOWING....

as we loaded at JJ.

The Drive Home,

 was, 

well....

'Simply....

Iowa'.

; )

Listened to Dave Dudley, 

'6 Days on The Road'... 

All.... The Way Home, on my little Bose, through my phone.

: )

That little Flatbed Ford Ranger, is... Quite a TRUCK.

; )

<3

Miss. Peanut.... Was HAPPY to See Me!!
