Today Kim and I spent time at HGR Industrial Surplus on the east side of Cleveland. This place is a wonderland of grease, soot, and massive industrial machines. It's actually kind of like climbing into the Jawa transport vehicle in Star Wars...full of out of service droids and fascinating pieces/parts that you just can't imagine will ever go back together again.
New Years Eve Auction
I spent 12/31/12 on South Arlington with friends and competitors at Interstate77 Auctions. When I first arrived it looked like a church assembly. People sitting quietly, studying scripture (auction catalog). Soon enough the action started and the quiet parishioners came alive like a Pentecostal congregation touched with the Holy Spirit. Pastor Jim Stults (auctioneer) barked out prices, numbers, bids, exaggerated details and requests for more tea. Everything for one money.
