Yes…a wedding gift from my sister…we’ve been using it for 42 years…

Do you have a champagne bucket?
 
We did, it had the year 2000 on it. I thought it was funny. I used it for gardening, then it got damaged, Y2010, I think.

Do you have a Louisville slugger baseball bat?
 
No.

Do you have any notes (bills) or coins of the currency of any eurozone member nation prior to it adopting the euro? 💶 (German mark, Italian lira, French franc, Spanish peseta, Greek drachma, etc.)

I did as a youngster, but I lost interest in it…

Do you have any of the ‘…for Dummies’ books?
 
Yes, one of which is, Catholicism for Dummies.

Do you have a rheostat switch in one of your rooms?
 
No, I took it out when I put in fluorescent lights. We might put in another dimmer now that we’ve gone to LED.

(I do have a working 8-track [in a non-working '72 Eldorado Converitble {I had it a couple of weeks before I realized it should be there; the tuner dial flips up as you put it in}], real silver dollars [from aunts who put them in my Christmas cards] as well as Eisenhower’s waiting to give to grankids, a classic car [the '72, but also a custom '87 Eldorado Touring Coupe], cameras that use 126, 127, 120, 620, and 35mm film, a phone nook [with an ancient crank phone coming on my next visit to my parents, which will get an iPhone or one such adapted], no actual iPod (though I’ve bought them for wife and daughters), a foot long functional sail oat, various pneumatic tools and a couple of compressors [will be used to swap another engine into the dead Miata], more than three bibles, a wet saw and router [but not regular table saw], a couple of power sanders, a train set waiting to go along the tops of my walls and eventually connect to my beer refrigerator under Arduino control to bring a home-brew in a tank, bot an ImageWriter II and a Deskwriter inkjet [from the first batch with AppleTalk to hit San Diego], multiple laser printers, . . .)

Anyway, do you have a gold note?
(I have three, taken in in payment in the 90s[should have sold them or even deposited hem then ])
 
No gold notes…I do have a few silver certificates…

Do you have a winter-rated sleeping bag?
 
No. I bought one for my wife for her car before we were married as she was driving a lot, sometimes in the winter. Not sure what happened to it.

Do you have a tent?
 
Two tents. (I think; there might be a tiny one or too as well . . .)

Do you have a liquid or gas fueled lantern?

(hmm, and looking up, I have four, not three doll notes. I thought the first was counterfeit when processing the days payments, as the back is a different color of green . . .)
 
No.

Do you have an engine you are not using that is sitting in the garage on a cherry pickler?
 
Have you ever seen the movie The Hand That Rocks the Cradle? I still have nightmares about those wind chimes! (That’s a no.)

Do you have a portrait of a historical figure (excluding Jesus, the saints, popes, etc.)?
 
My wife does…it hasn’t been out of its case in the 42 years we’ve been married.

Do you have nice neighbors?
 
Yes, awesome neighbors (I hope they think the same of us).

Do you have a park near your neighborhood?
 
Yes…we live in ‘the sticks’, but there’s a county park about a mile away, and an all-purpose trail on the other side of the field behind my yard.

Do you have a book of sudoku puzzles?
