Hmmmm......What could it be?

Today I decided to finally finish up some loose ends with all the plumbing and such. I had to go to Lowe's for the only trip of the day. It was a good day only going once. I got some bolts so I could secure the spigot to the wall. So I got home and bolted the thing to the wall on the outside. I then went under the house again. Nothing was leaking so it still is a good day. I secured all of the pipes with the pipe hangers that I had bought the other day. So everything is going well.

One odd thing though. As I was getting the light and all of my tools and such out from under the house I see this weird object.

You see in older houses like this you have the floor joists, ok, and then in between of the floor joists you have these sort-of struts that cross in between of the joists like an X. Ok. These I think are used to keep the joists from twisting and such.

WELL, on the bottom of one of the X's is this baggy. Well, in this baggy is this green leafy substance. Well my first thought is that this nice young man that owned the house before us (and is now residing in a West VA prison) must have been a really good cook. Yes a cook. He must of had a garden and grew and dried his own "herbs". Yes yes, that must be it. Some type of oregano or basil or something. Well not being sure of what the "herb" could be I just decided to throw it away. I just mixed it in with the other "weeds" from yesterday that I had thrown in the super can in the back.

After disposing of that I went back outside and sprayed the weeds once again, this time with actual Round Up and not ant killer.

And that's about it for the day. Not much else to report.

That reminds me of the time my brother and his friends found half a brick of "herbs" underneath a bed at a beach hotel. A chef must have had the room before them.

Surprises are fun!
