REMINDER: Next week we only have a Monday sale and the internet will not be updated for the week. You may call the office for what is available. Everybody have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!!

NOTICE: Next week we only have a Monday auction.

*BENEFITS OF A GOOD VOCABULARY* I recently called an old engineering buddy & asked what he was working on lately... He replied that he was working on “aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminum & steel under a constrained environment.” I was impressed until, upon further inquiry, I learned that he was washing dishes with hot water under his wife’s supervision.
