My husband, the king of romance.
Since we haven’t done any traveling this year due to the global plague, my wonderful spouse suggested we take a ride up the coast one warm afternoon last week. I readily agreed and dressed appropriately.
I was a little surprised to hear him pulling the truck out of the garage instead of the Beemer, but he loves that old thing and I figured he wanted to run her for a spell.
I should have known.
Where did my thoughtful husband take me on our relaxing ride up the coast?

To one of the few remaining bring anything and everything you want to throw out dumps that are still open during the pandemic.

And while I’m thrilled there are still things he’s willing to relinquish, this wasn’t the leisurely waterfront cruise I had in mind.

Romance.
I think it’s well and truly dead.

He is just trying to save the planet FOR YOU!!!

Yes, River, you should look on the bright side. It could have been a trip to the dump to bring home “treasures.” 😂😂😂

You know… when I first started reading your blog, you were complaining that your husband never threw anything away…
…how far you’ve come!

You’re right, it’s still a rare occurrence…. but wanting a decent man cave has made a (small) difference.

Did he get *gasp* RID OF CRAP???

He did. But to be fair it wasn’t his treasure. Just assorted crap… extra siding, pieces of insulation, a broken ladder and a busted tailgate.

I’ve never heard of a dump like this one. Anyone can drop things there? For free?

I wish. No…. you pull onto a scale when you arrive, they weigh your truck full. You dump. Then they weigh you empty on the way out and you pay so much a ton. Think we paid $27 this time

Only $27! Oh my that’s a bargain. We pay hundreds to have truckloads of junk taken away.

We didn’t have much this time, but the most we’ve ever paid for a full 8 food truck bed was about $70.
