There was a consignment sale in town today. Not more than three miles away. I did look at the items yesterday and planned to go. I did leave a bid on a few items with the auctioneer. This morning it was 25 degrees with light rain. It made things icy for a while. I did not even do morning chores this morning. My middle son and I have been taking turns on Sunday so we get every other one off. The weather turned warmer it got to 40 or so by 11 AM. It would not have been bad at the sale.
I just could not work up any enthusiasm to go. Their actually where some good clean items on the sale. A original IH 46 baler. If it had been repainted it was a show quality job. It sure looks sharp. Then there are two MF 180 tractors. They are locally from a cattle feeder. They where higher hours but the sheet metal was perfect and they ran and worked well. He had kept them in good working order. One of them would have looked real sharp restored. Also a Nice JD 720 loader.
Must just be getting older. I can't remember the last time I skipped this spring sale.
I have a lot of things I want to clear out this spring and summer. I am tired of the place looking like a salvage yard. I am also going to have to make the decision to either remodel the house and build shop or just tear the whole thing down an start over. The inside is just not like I want it to be.
