donation bin gone

 i noticed that a clothing donation bin near my home was gone when i was driving home from work. there had been plenty of items left outside of it, guess it was more trouble than it was worth to have it. this was at the edge of a gas station parking lot, close to the street. at work i had a technician look at the copier as it kept jamming like an accordion. i called mid-morning and they arrived near the end of the day. parts are needed but it is functional again. sounds like they will be back on friday or monday when the parts arrive. a big envelope order arrived, more than what was ordered for that business line. when i picked up a small envelope order i was asked if i was all right. i said i was just putting a box on a cart, sounded worse than it really was. in the evening i went on a walk and found 55 cents. so now i have reached the next save-up goal, 5 dollars, some beer money for the weekend. there is one beer waiting, a schell's, after having the paulaner as part of the evening meal last night. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when the friends had a prom, and it had just as much drama as a real one. it was followed by the one where the fowlers, amy's parents, feud and the friends try to broker peace. sheldon holds two hot dogs as well. i found the time to watch these two reruns, at least parts of them, while national night out was happening nearby. once i found out what the first episode was, i got out there as i knew it would be ending within the hour. i had two hot dogs, two bags of chips, a cookie, and some lemonade. the chips were cheetos, and the other was lay's sour cream and onion. there were no plates, so it meant being more careful on bringing the hot dog over to a table to eat them. there was a puppet show for the kids, and after the show ended the kids went to the bounce castle. on the olympic front, the USA men's basketball team beat spain to reach the semifinals. the women's basketball team beat australia to reach the semifinals. and the USA baseball team beat the dominican republic to reach the semifinals.
