As a general rule, I let others go to auctions. Most of what’s there isn’t actually needed, or can be viewed as a “it’d be nice to have” item. This probably qualifies in the second category, though because of one of the heavy “nice to have items”, a F-450 would be nicer to have. The biggest disappointment, is that while I guessed it would come up for auction at about 2pm, causing me to miss the first half of the USC/UCLA football game, it didn’t come up till 5:05 pm. Which means I missed the game, dinner and desert, from several different invitations.
But we got it, for not a bad price. Drove it back to work last night, and finally called it a day at 9pm. Now there’s a box of See’s Candy in the back of my truck, waiting to go to who ever’s home I was going to watch the football game at yesterday…. maybe I’ll just have to keep it myself as a consolation prize.
