and selling some stuff.<\/p>\n
I sell stuff year round.\u00a0 Goats take up more time than they should.\u00a0 But when the selling is good…..it is way good.\u00a0 The laws of supply and demand happen everyday.\u00a0 Legally or illegally.\u00a0 I’ve never sold illegal stuff but I can see why some take the risks.<\/p>\n
I’ve written about selling lawn-mowers.\u00a0 I can tell you that good livestock is easy to sell.\u00a0 The last time that I interviewed for a job was in the mid 90’s and I was very successful at selling my abilities.\u00a0 I was the dark horse candidate for the job at Waynoka.\u00a0 I got that job and it was a good fit.<\/p>\n
Jan. 28th is the Shattuck Ag Booster auction.\u00a0 We have some good stuff to sell.\u00a0 Yet, this year is different.\u00a0 WAY different!\u00a0 We will sell some unicorn items.\u00a0 What you ask?\u00a0 Well, in these days a butcher date is hard to come by.\u00a0 We have two–One in March and one in June.\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 What else you got?\u00a0 How about the unicorn that craps rainbow turds.\u00a0 We got it.\u00a0 Actually, we got two of them.\u00a0 Two ammo tins full of .223 ammo–500 rounds per tin.\u00a0 Talk about supply & demand.\u00a0 We’ve got the supply.\u00a0 I learned years ago that it is hard to sell from an empty wagon.\u00a0 Well, we are having to borrow an extra wagon for all this stuff.\u00a0 Lots of good stuff–live auction, silent auction, games and a raffle type deal with 4 cool prizes.\u00a0 Fun!<\/p>\n
Speaking of fun.\u00a0 I got home late.\u00a0 Put out hay and then the Dragon Lady had a turkey pot pie ready for me.\u00a0 It was wicked way good.\u00a0 But it wasn’t that great big pot pie from My Mother’s in Phoenix.\u00a0 I miss my annual Phoenix trip.\u00a0 If KC Ferguson was to call and say, “Old Man we are meeting Isbell and heading to Phoenix for the weekend…you in?”<\/p>\n
me–“pffft….well heck yeah!\u00a0 That turkey pot pie weighs a metric eff ton.”\u00a0 To confess, I just recently learned about the metric eff ton.\u00a0 I had heard of a ton, a short ton, a metric ton and the term that one will step down on the scales hard.\u00a0 But a metric eff ton……I think it weighs two $h!t tons which is not quite as much as an ass ton.\u00a0 Which if my math serves me right, an ass load will hold a crap load.\u00a0 Pretty sure this is a Waynoka measurement and must be weighed on elevator scales.\u00a0 Give or take 20 pounds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the spirit of Chill Wills in McLintock–“People, People, People…”\u00a0 \u00a0That dude has to be one of the best supporting actors of all time.<\/p>\n
The stock show world needs to pay attention to what recently happened.\u00a0 Nobody,–I mean nobody, was voted into the major league baseball hall of fame this year.\u00a0 Curt Schilling should have been BUT the people voting think that he was an outspoken prick.\u00a0 Good thing I’m not involved in a vote.<\/p>\n
But, BUT, what about that mlb vote?\u00a0 Some of the “greatest” of all time were still eligible.\u00a0 But…. BUT, they were known cheaters.\u00a0 That shows that the over-hyped industry of athletics has an over-supply of cheaters and the demand is low for those that are skirting the rules.\u00a0 In a similar, hyper-competitive world, all I know is that my kids NEVER tested positive at any state or national show…EVER!!\u00a0 EVER!!\u00a0 AND I will constantly supply that fact AND you can’t say that about others.<\/p>\n
I’m resigned to the fact that 20 years from now, I will say the same thing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I think that the supply of my correct opinions and your demand to read something interesting is not always healthy.<\/p>\n
People, people, people……have a good one and a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
