I'm going to a 'HEAVY EQUIPMENT' auction.

GIGANTIC 3 DAY AUCTION
JUNE 9-11, 2010 9:00 AM

MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA
J.M. WOOD AUCTION FACILITY
http://www.jmwood.com/08/auctions/0610/index.html

Big Ass Earth Movers.
All kinds of BIG yellow machines and stuff.

My buddy Carl is interested in bidding on some Park Model trailers.
He has the money, I have the time.
We'll live in his motorhome.

I'll spend the next three days as Carl's sidekick.
I'll be Tonto to his Lone Ranger.
Gabby Hayes to his Roy Rogers.
Barney to his Andy.

I really get a kick hanging out with Carl.
He's the wheeler dealer and I'm the note taker.

Three days of male bonding.
(Carl would HATE that term.)
:rofl:

Whiskey will be drank and meat will be grilled.
:-)

6. Sweet!

I know a guy in Louisiana that does that....he got the contracts here when the hurricanes did so much damage years ago. Our equipment is purchased for contracting and selling dirt loads and farm work.
