Grestest Score Ever
Posted in Australia on 14. Jan, 2010
In Australia, when people move or don’t want something anymore, they’ll set it on the curb to be picked up on rubbish day (garbage day) or to be taken by people passing by who decide they want it. As college students living on a budget, one man’s junk literally is another man’s treasure.
On his way home, Adam, one of the housemates, found this stash of deliciousness just down the street from our house.
All this stuff was being given away by this old guy who was moving to the bush and didn’t need or want it anymore. He said that we could have anything that we wanted.
It looked (and felt) like we were looting the place. We were walking down the street with stuff on trolleys and even pushing stuff we had set on a skateboard (which Adam found earlier today).
In two of the boxes, we found a ton of old records and EP’s from forever ago. Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Michael Jackson, Les Paul, and more. We’re thinking of finding a way to hang them in our music room as kind of a wallpaper type of thing. It’s going to be awesome!
Now the score of the day was an organ that this man had in his house. A Hammond organ that he’s owned for 50+ years. Paul bought it off of him for a mere one hundred dollars.
The funny thing about this whole thing was that earlier in the day as Paul, Christian, and I were out shopping and getting stuff for ourselves and the house, we were talking about the stuff that we needed for the kitchen, bathroom, and whatnot. And then this guy is giving away all these household goods and totally filled several needs that we had for the house saving us a ton of money.
God totally blessed our socks off through this guy.
I do believe, my dear Dustin, that you are indeed God’s favorite!!! SO COOL to see Him provide for you in such a way!!
I totally agree with Nanci! Remember: The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect (and provide) for you. Thanks for the update.
I love that you found treasure
I also love Adam’s pants… the whole ensemble is brilliant!
No joke. That jacket is a whip-tailed kangaroo jacket. There were two in the pile of stuff.
That *is* the greatest score over.
The second greatest score ever is a good mom-comment!
Good stuff man.
That’s awesome! Looks like tons of fun and a huge blessing! Enjoy! Being in God’s will is so fun!
LOL. That’s awesome! I’m completely jealous of the LP scores, although I would listen to them and not waste them on the walls.
I’m so happy that God is already rocking your socks with His provision for you. I mean, really, you NEEDED an organ for your music room, right???
Love ya!

Les Paul Eps/records are worth alot of money. Don’t hang them on the wall
