The other day I blogged about the miracle of finding my husband getting rid of things in the big barn.
I was happy!
I was thrilled!
Heck, I was downright orgasmic.
Until I walked upstairs.
.
.
A lot of the things I thought he’d gotten rid of…
.
.
Had just migrated upward instead. So with determination in my step I went back down to help him sort through things to throw away.
It did not go well.
Here are a few of the items he couldn’t bear to part with.
.
.
No, you’re not seeing double. That’s a flippable measuring cup… though why on earth you’d need to flip one I don’t know.
.
.
Blank dog tags.
A box of them.
Why? Unless he’s planning to outfit a woodchuck army…. I don’t see the point.
.
.
A rock.
And while I’m normally all about the rocks, I do prefer mine outside…. or slowly cooling my gin and tonic.
Finally there was this:
.
.
He wouldn’t part with it, even though he didn’t know where he’d gotten it or what the hell it was.
So let me resurrect that old blog series I used to torture you with..
Name That Crap!
What is it?
( And yes, I did research so I know the answer. )
River's world..... 
The green thing is a naughty zucchini…

I like that rock. I’d keep that, too. I’m guessing the thing is for carving or engraving.

Blank dog tails can be used for extra dog tags for pets and the rock is perfect. Or maybe as a way to identify your storage items, so he does have reasons to keep this stuff. You know, I am on his side.

If you’re on his side, your husband has my sympathies.

You clearly have an alien finger, which is probably all your husband kept as a souvenir after fending off an invasion with a rock. Well, he kept the invaders’ dog tags, too, which obviously are blank since aliens can’t write English. I would keep all those things, too, to remind me of “the day they came.”
The measuring cup is garbage, though. Toss it out.

While that sounds like a perfectly reasonable scenario, I’m going to have to say no. Though now I wish it was an alien finger…

“No, you’re not seeing double. That’s a flippable measuring cup… though why on earth you’d need to flip one I don’t know.” You, obviously, spend more time at the bar then in the kitchen–one side measuring dry items (flour for example) and the other for liquids (water) saving steps like having to wash out a cup in between!!!
You will have to download my cooking class!!

So when I turn it over for water, the residual flour spills on the counter. And when I turn it over for flour the residual water spills on the counter. I’ll stick to my 2 separate cups thank you.

No clue on that last item, but this post is the reason I have fought the addition of a shed in the backyard. The more space you have, the more crap you need to fill it. But I lost that argument…I start work on the shed pad next week. It won’t be long before I’m posting my own mystery items.

I agree completely. He filled the basement and had to build a shed. He filled the garage and had to build a barn. It never ends….

Honestly, I think both the cup and the rock are very unique. The green thing, though..I have not a clue and therefore no use for.

But… but… my husband doesn’t cook, no less bake. So what the heck does he need a flippable measuring cup for, in the barn?

He needs the measuring cup to have small conversation with visitors he does not have much to talk about with. Intelligent man. 🙂
