Garbage Picker

OK, fine, I admit it

I'm a garbage picker.

A dumpster diver.

A trash connoisseur.

Hey, you wouldn't believe what people throw away! Like this little beauty...

 

OK, so maybe she's not quite beautiful. Actually, she looks better here than when I picked her up off the curb. I've cleaned her up and sanded her in this picture.

 

But, in the next picture you can see how awesome she really is!  Maybe I should call her a him, since "he's" in my sons room and "he" is supposed to resemble an army foot locker!

Now, before anybody calls DFS on me, that is a BB gun leaning up against the side of the dresser. And, NO he doesn't actually have a drawer full of guns, ammo, chem gear or explosives in his bedroom. Well, OK, maybe some explosives, but definitely not any chem gear...relax, I'm kidding!

Yes, I know Scott AFB is not in St. Louis, we were actually stationed at Jefferson Barracks, which IS in St. Louis, but honestly, I didn't have enough "S's" to spell all that out. He doesn't care, so neither do I!

 

The top drawers are fake, they are really only 2 drawers.

 

So, not bad for FREE! It gave the boy a little extra storage for his "stuff" a.k.a: guns, ammo, etc.!
