I was a good scrounging neighbour tonight by keeping the noise at a bare minimum .
Looks like a great operation there! Where did that scrounge come from?
 
I've lived on both sides of the border and they each have their good points. As for the politics, I can't do anything about it other than vote. One thing I miss about America is biscuits and gravy! Lol. Plan on going through Michigan this year, which I enjoy. We spent 14 years living in Arkansas and Mississippi, so Ontario is quite a change of pace. They can't cook worth crap up here. Haha. I am a bbq God with what I learned down south. One thing for sure is I never had to cut any firewood down there.
 
svk, auction buying is all about paying attention to the auctioneer and the crowd. And remembering where the good stuff is hidden in which boxes. People are very slow to start bidding so I often buy the 1st item at a sale and there are good deals if you stay until the end too. I go to a lot of Amish sales so I've been practicing a one bid plan for awhile now and it seems to stop them from even bidding. They want to start every item for nothing every time and make the auctioneer work for every penny. If I want the item, I bid what I think is just a little less than what I want to pay for it and it really seems to get rid of the tire kickers.
I gave away the Solo to a girl from work. Easy come easy go sometimes.

I bought mine new from the store.

I do not go to auctions as I would buy everything.
