How is Darrin and his family doing Is the Flower hut still open? I havent been down there in years! now!

Darrin is great...

Flower Hut has been gone for years now... whole block is a new Condo unit

Wow shows you how often I get in to my old hood!

Usually I would be glad to help out all the coolers needing help with my truck and trailer, but...We have been really busy with Pennys Dads place getting ready for the auction every weekend since he passed. Auction is Aug 28th, so unfortunatly I'm pretty booked up until then. Sorry.

Here's some of the stuff we are trying to organize for the auction. This si not all of it. There is more in the field down the road and more in the trees that you can not see from the pictures.

Wow, mrmikey! I love it! I bet he knew exactly where everything was too.

You ought to send that slide show and a catalog to Joe Soucheray. I bet he'd go to that auction. Can you imagine what your father-in-law's Cylinder Index must be??

Are you allowing any early sales?

we sold some stuff already. Probably not anymore though. Too hard to know what a good price is for us and too much hassle because of the distance. That said, what were you interested in?

Mikey: here's the website for the LeSueur Pioneer Power Show in August - the guys that run it are very well versed in antique tractors, swap meets, and sales.

not that any of you who are going through divorces need to be told this (unless you have secret facebook pages that i don't know of), but this showed up on the front page of slashdot this morning:

its like being mirandized. anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. only worse. because anything your friends say can and will be used against you too.

Older tractors.

If they are restorable or collectable, collectors will be interested an auction. Otherwise scrap dealers will pay about $700 for the steel value.

Mike that was So kool I wish I had a ton of money! I see about 100 things I would go crazy buying!! lol

but let me know if the ford Ltd runs and If the full size bronco runs! I mite make the trip out for the actuation for them alone!! and to see you and Penny!

thats alot of stuff mikey.

I may be able to help maddog. Saturday morning? afternoon?

I might be able to give you a few hours as well

When?

Sounds like we've got to time out our plan of attack. I'll be around this holiday weekend.

hey, anybody see the new logo for the winter carnival golf event? Pretty cool if you ask me.

www.winter-carnival.com

Seriously, you should take a look.

www.winter-carnival.com

I looked.

the logo still doesnt get me excited about golf.

I can probably help out that weekend.

1234 personal Joe!

Thanks! I'm finding a lot of sites using google and then posting the guestbooks with the auction info. Also starting discussions on a lot of tractor collector fan pages on facebook. Hopefully I'll get some bidders to the auction!

Would it make you more excited if I told you a Cooler crew member designed it? (and the accompanying brochure, which needs to be changed out to match)

Fancy

I like it!!

I am headed out tonight to vote on the Winter Carnival to do one button or the usually four button design...

Thoughts now to help me decide which way to vote!!

I like just ONE! The collection cases are getting too full too fast!

personally i like having just one as well. it keeps the kids from fighting over which one they end up with.

naturally, of course, vulcan buttons are preferred over that blue crap, which is to be avoided at all costs. :smile:

One please. If they need to make more money, make one fancy button and charge more for it.

One metal button

preferably with a dangling shovel :grin:

One plastic translucent button. Similar in style to the medallion.... Maybe like a scale replica.... I'd pay 20 to 30 bucks for a button like that :smile:

Something for the button haters to wear in protest

One button please! :litesmile:

All I need now is to raise $30 to go to CON this weekend!! thats down form the $100 that I needed before So anyone want to sponser me or hook me up!!!

this is something I have been doing for Years this is one of the First years I have not had the money to go and it helps me with my head and to keep me from going crazy since I missed the hunt more or less again this year!!!

it is MUCH needed! I know money is TIGHT for EVERYONE!!

this is a Socale thing I need for my self every year!!

What is CON?

CONvergence is a convention for fans of Science Fiction and Fantasy in all media, and is held at the Sheraton Bloomington Hotel in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota on the first full weekend of July each year.

Its one of the biggest dork-fests of the year... and its totally awesome...

If you can afford it. Which I cant either. :coolfrown:

I just ordered two prints for the contests 24x36 $94 free shipping. going to get them matted and framed at a shop in town here.

Looking to borrow a BLUE 4-person tent in August.

And Yes it needs to be blue (all my tents are green).

Thanks!

Anybody know what was happening on Smith Avenue this afternoon? Some kind of emergency between Sidney and Curtice - fire trucks and other vehicles - two blocks of Smith closed and traffic detoured. I went through there around 3:45 PM.

My tent is blue and white if that works.
