Well the Rays are getting hurt by the Orioles so there's no fun in watching that    But seriously I'm winding it down, I have enough of a stack pulled out for a small session tomorrow so am probably leaving it alone after the next one. You did miss taking the big dog though

Ok, we'll call that a wrap for today. I have a stack of about 15 more bargain books that I think will be appreciated around here so I'll put them up tomorrow when I have a chance. There's some honey-do to do so I'm not sure what time that's gonna be. Thanks for the takes and likes as always

Nice pickup. I just bought a copy of this about 2 weeks ago, otherwise I would have bought this one.
