Coffee anyone ?

Same coolish start and warming nicely. Loving it. I am lazily drinking coffee, knowing I have 5 days to do as I please, with good weather! Went to auction yesterday. Spent $12.50, although I tried to throw more out there. Couple goats I wanted but, held off. How good was that??!!:D:yesss::idunno:old

Got name & number from breeder and will buy but, straight from farm. Some kids arriving soon and will look. No rush, especially with winter coming on. He has an awesome buck, so....want to consider there.

I did buy a walk behind mower, with bagger, great shape...$10. have a few tight places to mow and can't get rider in, larger than wanted for a weed whacker. No one wanted it. Easily a $100 + mower. Right up there with the $10 battery weed eater I got last month!!!! 😁. Oh, yeah, $2.50 for an air paint sprayer -- still in orig sealed plastic. Gonna get out there and use the mower in a few....the sprayer a surprise, that can use on this porch job this month. A paint brush costs more....already have air compressor, as most farms do for flat tire issues!

My cheap mow.
 
NICE MOWER !!!!!! That was not a good buy, that was a STEAL !!!!! Great deal.
I need to come down and go to the auction with you....... would be fun.
Always great to make contacts too. Might be a good way to get numbers down if you are not wanting to raise them up to sell or butcher....
That is how we got on the deal with the guy who raises heifers to sell. Ability to buy back our own if we want..... he was buying at a sale(auction) son was at and he went up to him and asked him and they got into a deal after that. Bought some of ours and said they did good the following spring when he sold them, started buying more and then we got on the how about we buy these particular ones back from you.... like custom raising but we actually sell to him and then buy back for going price which ones we want....

Lol! That's my predicament every fall when the work for dollars ends. I have time to stare off into space...
This year I'm fighting the drift into inertia, so proud of my adultness this past week! Got the kitchen cabinets washed down and my excess clothing I don't wear thinned out and bagged up. Next week on to the garage to make room for a second vehicle.
 
Thanks for the coffee! Today I run the gauntlet of shopping for kid toys. 3 different walmarts show to have the items I want, of course different ones at different stores in 3 different towns. Wish me luck! And we got BJ's new phone so we got to go get it turned on, transferred and blah, blah, blah. He still hasn't sent to my phone the videos he wants to keep, so his phone may not get turned on today. If he will send me the videos, I can send them back to him when his new phone gets turned on. Eh. Gonna be a fun day.
 
Thanks for the coffee! Watching the sun come up, was 38 degrees! Going to warm up to the high 70's. You got carpet in the dumpster! That has got to feel good. Are y'all going to put down more carpet or refinish the floors beneath?

Score! I found the 2 scooters and the 2 roller skates and only had to go to 2 walmart stores! The canning lids that showed to be in stock, of course, were not there. Now we only have to come up with 2 White Elephant gifts and a charm for the oldest granddaughter's bracelet and we are done. We go all out on the kids, grown ups do a White Elephant gift. Trying to buy for everyone is expensive and ridiculous, everyone has everything they need so why keep buying a bunch of stuff?

Today we will go get BJ's new phone turned on and mail off the trade-ins. More fun.
