How Old were You when You 1st started bidding at auctions? .There used to be a Saturday auction/ flea market at Scottsburg Ind. At least 2 Auctioneers running constant ,and a flee market too ..Dad still had his 1965 Ford pikup. So i was probably 13 when i HAD TO BID . Dad instructed My brother and I to Buy locust fence posts for No MORE than a dollar each . Count the posts if They are going by the pile or Bid a nickle each time you bid if they are going by the count,.. We Need at Least 65 posts ! .While Dad watched the cattle sell at the Livestock barn ring. my big brother judged he Could take His girlfriend to get a soft drink before the auctioneer got to the posts section. He Misjudged , and I fretted Alone while the 1st pile went for 40 bux for maybe 35 posts, The next pile went for about the same .I Tried to Bid on that pile and was ignored,So , I hollered out to the auctioneer when he knoked it off to someone , "HEY IM'BIDDING HERE Gosh-Damit",Those exact words ,.LOL . it got a chuckle from a couple fellas . the auctioneer Apologized But Said the posts are sOLD. some cigar chewing guy said ," damit Junior ,You Ought to sell them posts by count anyways!",Auctioneer says "Ok Then ,The last stack sells by the post Folks." So i stood right between the stack and the auctioneer , The cigar Guy started bidding and i jumped in at the next nickle, it went that way back and forth and i won at 80 cents , I will never forget That proud feeling when i gave my Dads bid Number , and The Clerk Asked Me Where I lived . ..The cigar chewing guy , bought me hamburger later that afternoon slapped Me on The shoulders and told his pals , and laughing ..I helped This Boy Get him some fence posts so he could build him a fence!It would be a few more years before i Started going to Louisville with Dad to Buy Feeder Pigs. Dad taught me alot about watching the crowd and your opposing bidder ,. That science is lost in the internet auction ,

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
