Wow Wee Woooo - what a couple of great sales!

let me just start by saying that the title of this post pretty much says it all and dang it all but I forgot the camera and didn't think to use my cell phone.

The pawn shop auction was as big and full of great stuff as advertised and me and the Mrs. stayed to the bitter end and got some sweet deals and awesome stuff. The details are just too much to describe but we got tools, Xbox games, tools, metal detectors, tools, - well, you get the idea.

And if Friday wasn't enough, I scored big (and I mean really big) at Musick's Snap On tool auction on Saturday. There was literally thousands of new and near new Snap On tools and just gobs of high quality equipment that seemed to go on forever! Thankfully a tax commission friend (yes it's true that even us auditor types have friends in the biz) was there and he was more than happy to help me keep track of my stuff, pile it up and even help load when all was done. All of this in an open barn type building at 25 degrees and a 30 mile per hour wind that cut right through you. We struck a deal on the side for all his help plus I've asked the Mrs. to reward him with a beverage of his choice the next time she sees him at bowling.

Needless to say, my car is no longer in the garage and scant chance of it getting back in anytime soon. But hey, watch our Ebay listings (over the next several months!) and you'll see what I'm talkin about.

Talk to you later
