I Got To Meet Rino!


I went to an auction in Martinsburg, WV and met rino yesterday. He did not know it but I brought along my camera and took a couple photos.

There is one of me and rino and the other is just me standing by the Auction sign.

But seriously, it was great to meet Rino and also his Dad was there. They both are decent guys that I think any one of us would have a great time working with them. They certainly know the equipment.

I wish there were more young guys like rino out there that have as much interest in this trade as he does.

Thanks for inviting me Jason, we'll have to get together again, maybe when it is a little warmer.

Do you work out Tom? Those are some pretty stout looking arms you have there. That left hand looks like one helluva beer grip too.

Unfortuntately, Tom told me that the temp was going to be in the 40's. So, I headed down south in my shorts and tank top thinking I am going to get a tan and low and behold, we got caught in snow flurries and winds that had the job johnny's teetering. All in all, it was a good day. Didn't buy anything, but most of the time, we never do. It was nice to meet Tom finally and he even bought me lunch. I almost had to wrestle him to figure out who was gonna pay, but he is bigger than me, so I let it slide......this time at least. Off to the next auction which is this coming friday.

Oh yeah, nice pictures Tom. Do have the one of our wind burned faces ??

Overalls and a GI-Joe like beer grip... I'd say he's ready for anything.

Hi Rino, I won't be able to make York Springs.

Too much real work to do.
