Waylon Found Some Strange Things Cleaning His Truck
I finally sold my truck. Just before saying goodbye, it was necessary to remove all my stuff from the glove compartment and under the seats. You are about to travel back in time to a Grand Junction you possibly never knew.
Indiana Jones has nothing on this. Look at these archeological finds. Many of these businesses have been out of business for years. It's amazing what you'll find in the storage compartment of a truck's rear passenger side door.
I purchased my truck new back in 2002. I promise you I cleaned it from time to time. Regardless, look at this crap. Here's a rundown of the artifacts.
Country Jam 2006 Mug
Wow! Check it out. This was back in the day when Blake Shelton was an opening act for Sugarland. How things change.
Ultimate Fitness Membership Card
This was my all-time favorite gym. Unfortunately, they went out of business several years ago.
Neil Diamond mix CD
A woman I was dating around 2003 made this Neil Diamond "love mix" CD for me. I found it in the CD player of the truck. My guess is it had been in there for about 15 years.
Waylon's G-String
This is my G-string. Hey, get your mind out of the gutter. Not that kind of G-string. This is the "G" to my double bass. You know, the giant instrument that stands at the back of an orchestra. At one time, I had a full set of strings in my truck: E, A, D, and G. This is the only one I found. Kind of like my other G-strings, it never got used.
Hooters Gift Certificate
I have three questions:
- Who gave this to me?
- When did they give it to me?
- Why in the world didn't I use it?
Hastings Card
Holy crud! How old is this thing? That's probably been rolling around on the floor since about 2002.
Regal Cinemas $25 Gift Card
I found this with the $25 gift card still intact. I put it to use last night so a friend and I could go see Avengers: Infinity War. Now I wish I'd never found it. That's three hours of my life I want back.
Best of Bond Cassette Tape
Believe it or not, the truck I purchased new in 2002 came with a cassette deck. What did I find in it? Best of Bond. This a cassette with the all-time best James Bond themes. I would guess it had been in the tape player since 2007.
Bottle of Prescription Medication
No comment.
Mesa County Library Card
Finally, a decent find. I've been searching for this son-of-a-b**** for about ten years. That's my excuse for not having read any books lately. Seriously, I've been searching all over for this one. Can't wait to put it to use.
