Glad this is a long distance from here in Texas. If it was closer my checkbook would be in danger.

Saw a few things of interest. Trying to decide if I can live without it. I am around a 2 hour drive so mostly just watching. In the past got a couple good deals at this auction and couple that didn't pan out.

I was at an auction a few years ago and I saw one of those home-made forklifts built from a car chassis, using the rear of the frame as the front of the lift. The motor in it was a Chrysler hemi. I shoulda bought it just for the motor.

Im driving if you want to go look either tomorrow or Thursday.

Tomorrow would be good as Thursday may cut hay. You drive will fill your vehicle up. Let me know the time and meeting place if you can make it.

Thursday or Friday don't look too bad. I don't mind cutting down on a rain. Saturday through Tuesday very little chance and Thursday and Friday not a lot.

Your forcast looks way way different. Hope it doesn't rain.
Mine too !!! And I would be thinking to myself when I got back with whatever I managed to buy. What on earth was I thinking when I bought this stuff at 64 years old and can’t walk more than 50 yards on a good day because of my back problems. Anymore I amaze myself at the things I try and do. Not only am I half crippled I am probably legitimately insane. Wife will be taking my check book away from me before long.

You can't get it up until you cut it down.

I cant cut in the mud. Lol
I'm just curious, which route do you all take to get to Maryville? Do you come over to Bean Station, go to Knoxville through Tazewell, or go over through LaFollet?
OP
OP
Kenny is a better driver than me and he will know the best way. Takes forever to go through all the red lights the Lafollette way, through Tazewell a lot of construction going on, and the Bean station/ Rutledge way I usually go is a little farther but you see more. Very little difference in either as I have went to White Pine and go down 81 there is not a lot of difference either or down Washburn and through Lutrell.
The forecast has been updated and even looking better.

Normally i would go through Tazewell but as he stated there is a lot of construction now. We will pick you up in Bean Station if you want to ride along.
Thanks, but work has me tied up today.
