Post by: mvwcnews on March 28, 2018, 11:24:13 PM: For anyone intending to use my absentee bidder services, the best way to submit absentee bids is by e-mail (mvwcnews@gmail.com) with lot #, key word (to make sure), max price , and your contact info.
My "part time in retirement" job has an erratic schedule with mostly afternoon & evening hours, and "days off" are random ones in mid-week -- lately Tuesdays & Thursdays -- so getting me on the phone is iffy as I cannot use my phone at work.
Thanks, Stan S.

The only nasty part was afterwards, driving home on icy roads. Good thing I had an extra hundred pounds or so of old wrenches in the back seat for weight!

Post by: Lewill2 on April 16, 2018, 04:23:03 PM: I made it home today. Drove about 660 miles yesterday, 300+ in the snow and ice and the rest in the wet. Drove another 660 or so today all rain. Great weekend came home broke but had a great time.

I took my Hillary Klein wrench collection for display and won the best display award from the club, I got a nice plaque for the award.

Added 2 new Hilary Klein miniatures to the collection plus a few other wrenches. I'll get pictures up later.

I think everyone went home with a little extra weight for traction in the snow and ice.

We saw a few cars, small trucks and semi's in the ditches on the way home Sunday.
