Not a goat sale, but an estate sale.  Tammy and I went to look at lineup of equipment and stuff that is selling this Saturday.  She was close to the family and I have known them for 30 plus years.  The owner passed away a couple of months ago and was just a few days short of being 100 years old.  I really liked when he came to the dealership.  Although he wasn’t young, he was sharp till the end.  He had lots of barns and kept most of the machinery inside.  Although older equipment, (4640, 4430, Steiger Cougar, etc.) it was all well maintained and kept slick.  He had not one, but two Ford 8N tractors–one that has a post hole digger mounted on it and one that has a cement mixer attached.  Slick grain trucks.  Maybe, the nicest set of older Deere 455 drills that I have seen.  Even a set of LZ hoe drills.  Yeah, they are old, but they will sell.  Lots of green paint, but also some Silver Seater combines–L and L2.  My kind of sale.  Now, throw in a 1931 Model A Ford coupe–show room slick.  A ’67 Mustang–convertible–equally slick!  

      Although it was kind of sad looking at a gentleman’s life accumulation, it was also cool looking at really well cared for equipment that will be in demand.  The cars were worth the drive.  This sale will go well just because the locals will know that the items were well cared for.  I just hope that when my time comes, people will think highly of my stuff.  

     Over and out, good buddy.  Time to call it a day.  We’ll catch you on the flip side.
