12 day countdown to Mik 2024…
Still time to hoard all the stuff you might need for the “FREE” stuff…
Is there a song or legend associated with12 days of MIK? …like what happens day 1?
On the First Day of Mik my BD gave to me:
A pile of “Stuff” without restrictions.
On the second day I got a washer and dryer…
For those that are new here, MIK used to paint/build all his projects on the washer and dryer. I swear it was the only flat space he had that wasn’t cluttered.

Wow! Learned a bit of MIK history and got an ear worm too!
Got to dig out the “Mr. Microphone”!
K-tel watch out!
Act now, and order in the next 30 minutes, not only will you receive the conductor’s whistle version of THE 12 DAYS OF MIK-MAS we will throw in the music of THE LITTLE DRUMHEAD BOY at no extra cost.
BUT WAIT (I’m assuming with this thread) THERE’S MORE…. Act now and we’ll include G-scale holiday hits such as…
R O T F L M A O ! ! !
I had to add this as the AI (Artificial Idiot) didn’t like my 21 characters.
