Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

That may be so but even my blind old eyes started watering when I saw this thing.

The Tweaker Special Entertainment Center on top was especially fetching.

I did manage to score an old Proto tape measure stuck to the front there with a magnet.

The first order of business when I got this derelict fucker home was to grab a pair of gloves and a garbage bag.

After I took one look at this shit I wasn’t taking any chances that there might be an old syringe in the bottom of one of those drawers.

After I got all that crap out then it was time to see about getting rid of that junk pile attached to the top.

Some judicious prying and cursing soon saw that little task accomplished.

Then remove the wood attaching hardware hidden underneath.

When it was finally empty I got the ramps out and unloaded the ugly fucker.

Only to find out it wouldn’t roll.

The guy I got it from and his huge fucking buddy had helped me load it and we had just picked it up and set it in the truck.

It didn’t take long to figure out why it didn’t want to roll, someone had literally glued it to a floor.

So I cut all that shit off the wheel and then got my Shop Vac out and finished cleaning out the drawers.

Then I had to move all kinds of shit around in the garage to make room for it.

The reason I snagged the ugly fucking thing was so that I could replace this old wooden bench a buddy had slapped together for me a few years ago that I had my Mini Lathe sitting on and about a hundred and fifty pounds of crap stuck underneath and hanging off the back.

It took almost three hours from start to finish but I finally got everything moved and swapped out.

By myself, of course.

Eventually I will take everything back off and throw a piece of plate steel on top.

Since I now work at a Steel Plant, I don’t see that being much of a problem.

As it turned out, the ugly bastard actually opened up some room for me,.

It’s already crammed with all the crap that was under the old bench.

I even have a couple of empty drawers.

I can hear it now though.

Why in the world would I drag home this FUBAR mess of a Roll Away and spend all this time and energy on such an ugly piece of shit?

There are two obvious reasons.

One,

And two,

It was literally sitting on the sidewalk on the street I have to take coming and going to work.

I went past it because I didn’t see the Free part until I was on top of it because somebody else in a little SUV had stopped to look at it and pulled out right in front of me and there were cars behind me so I went up and around the block.

It may be ugly as sin but FREE is still a very good price.

Good old Tom Peterson always said so anyway.

It’s Pretty Much All Over But The Shooting And Burying At This Point

And when they try to paint you as having lost your shit after all we have been through.

Keep right on walking .

Fuck them.

We all have a breaking point and it is patently apparent there are some people keenly interested in seeing what it’s going to take to find that level of abuse.

The fact that more people haven’t followed this example yet is testament to just how much shit the American public will put up with.

There is however, a line you do not cross.

And we are that close to it, right now.

Some people just don’t know when enough is enough.

History is full of lessons long lost.

And the bones of many a wannabe tyrant have long turned to dust.
