Default Auction report

Rain stopped just in time - weather was just right. Lots of people spending
lots of bucks. One John Deere riding mower was fairly new - as was an Agway
4 wheel turning lawn tractor. Three older JD model 111's side by side.
Lots of other mowers. I bid on a set of 3 trailer tongue jacks but didn't
get them. There were 3 sets of 3. About 10 farm tractors, 2 backhoe /
loaders, and thousands of other stuff. They were about 3/4 of the way
through when I left around 4 PM. Many people walk around with their dogs -
everything from a mini-dachshund to a young great dane. I saw VT, MA, CT,
and PA plates. Lots of pickups and lots pulling trailers - serious buyers.
I got there about 8:30 AM and the parking lot (a large field) was full.
