Ben picked up son Verlon at the Lincoln, NE, airport this afternoon after his flight from Richmond, VA. We all gathered down at the house for him to get his first look at all the boxes of "stuff" that Carolyn has prepared for the Auction. We will be getting the '92 Buick Le Sabre through the car wash tomorrow, moving it and all of the "merchandise" down to the Ag Pavilion on Friday. That will give the Auctioneers Saturday to get everything displayed on tables for the Sunday Auction. As an old "spendthrift", I have been encouraging limiting the amount of stuff that the "movers" would load and take down to the Pavilion. I had even made provision for some volunteer help and equipment. However, later this afternoon the decision was made that the movers will take the bulk of it and we will move very little ourselves. It appears that the weather may bring some moisture during some time during the next few days but will generally be very good for this time of year. Verlon mentioned that it was warmer here today than in Richmond.
Our 25-year-old Buick would give someone an opportunity to have an "antique" to drive in parades someday if they have storage to keep it for a few years. It would take very little to put it in "like new condition" even now with the new tires and overall, very good condition. It has been the best car we have ever owned as demonstrated by never having to add engine oil between changes during it's 160,000 miles. In 1958 we sold a '36 Ford Victoria in good condition to a couple farm boys who put it in storage. That car today would be worth thousands.
