Good Sunday fella's! I've had to stray from the MT this morning, and it was a little scary at times. :shock: Yesterday's storage unit auction was a waste of time. Note to self: Call the SU prior to going to the auction and ask how many units are being sold. There was ONE unit being auctioned! Oh well, had a nice day out with my wife. :D

I just ventured outside of the MT too and posted right after you, Dave, in the peaks and valleys thread. :)

Never been to a storage auction. I know a guy from work went to one, bid and won several unopened cartons. He eagerly opens them and finds.....

Approximately 1000 t-shirts commemorating a 2005 chili cookoff!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Whoah, is right! $1K, is that a reasonable starting bid for something like this? It's not even signed with his name, or does that increase the value? Also, I dont think Chris would notice if you put that up on your garage door and said, "Look what I bought for us, Honey!" :D

The writing is legit (in my experience of seeing his manuscripts), and even without a signature, that should get at least one bid. His signatures on checks and receipts get around $200 - $400, so I can see an actual family item like that postcard going for at least $1K.

Yeah, I should buy that, tell Chris I bought it for "us", and then take a Greyhound bus to Florida so I could move in with my "financial advisor" and his family.... :)

Trust me, it would be eerily similar here. Bulging garage, (GC)ET, under appreciated private collection of memorabilia, insane German Shepherd with the first name of Dammit, etc... :D

Got a voicemail from the lady at the JL State Park.

She said that a couple of directors of the Jack London collections at Sonoma State and the Huntington Bollection will be at the Park Anniversary in July and that I can visit both collections, along with an individual tour!!! :eek:

Chris will be thrilled. :geek:

I think I have figured it out!

You and I, being on opposite coasts, are, in actuality, photographic negatives of each other!
