The big sale weekend went well. We were pretty much overrun with shoppers on Saturday. Quite a few cheaters showed up on Friday also but there were few open for business until into the evening. The wife made around $400.00 I think. I didn't participate in the sale as I was more interested in shopping this year. Bought around 200 Louis L'Amour westerns at a good price. Have not read his books since I was younger but thought my boys would like them. Purchased some upgrade bikes for the kids and sold their older ones. Still ended up with more bikes than we started with I think. Main thing I was hoping to run into was a generator but had no luck there. Didn't find any camping gear either. Come to think of it, the whole thing was kind of a bust for the consumer. Unless you were consuming food and in that case you were doing ok cause there was plenty of it. My wife did hamburgers, hotdogs and drinks and the kids sold popsicles. There was an overwhelming amount of people crowding through the neighborhood but as far as I could tell the pickens seemed kinda slim this year. Combine all that with the fact that my neighbor died and you might say that it was a down right depressing weekend.
Actually I didn't know the man. The only time I spoke with him is when my dog got to chasing his dog one day shortly after we moved there. I yelled to him to "kick her in the head" as I was running to break it up. When I got to them and caught my dog, and apologizing all over myself, he just picked up his dog and with a look of murder in his eyes turned and walked back into his house. The guy never talked or would even look at me after that. I don't know the guys name but may he RIP and I'm sorry for his wife's loss.
Started out saying the weekend went well. Not entirely accurate obviously.We made some money, didn't find any deals to jump up and down about and a dude that I've lived next to for almost two years, and still don't know his name passed away. At this point I don't know how to describe the weekend. I wonder, did he live it all...
