Industrial Surplus

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.

Fast Foward. Slow Reverse.

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.

Got Mine. Carry Mine.
