Last Day in Chickasha, OK "SOLD OUT"

Terry & Joe

Billy, Joe, Terry & Joe

Billy is the muscle & Sales, Joe is long haul driver to get our products there, Terry does everything ( we have worked together for over 30 years ) and Joe is muscle and sales.

We sold out, another great sale. We loaded up drove to Lawton, OK met another crew and they gave us 63 generators to sell. We drove to Duncan, OK, a very dark town, not many lights. The Days Inn has no electricity so the owner let us use the Days Inn parking lot. I drove to a RV park for tonight, sold the owner 2 new generators. We need another good day. Here are some of the guys that make it happen.

Chicksha, Oklahoma

Pretty bad job on that sign...........

Terry is peaking through the window and there is Sammy worn out from greeting customers.
1999 Terry Woodring and I went to the East Coast for the biggest Sale we have ever had. Our 1st customer took a 100 generators. We sold right at 900 generators. This is the 2nd Biggest Sale I have ever had in 36 years. Chickasha has 13,000 without power. Tap has another truck in Lawton, 35,000 without power. We turned the Motorhome into an check out office and the people loved it nice warm and Sammy to talk to. This whole area is a mess, there are only a few businesses open. Channel 4 News from Oklahoma City showed up and Terry went outside for an interview which was good advertising. I just had a gentleman from Lindsay, OK in, no power anywhere around Lindsay. Hearing stories all day from people who went through 1 night without power, makes those pioneers pretty damn tough.

Ice Storm Coming to Oklahoma

Terry Woodring and I will be leaving shortly to travel to the middle of the Ice Storm. Where there is no electricity, no heat, no gas pumps, just freezing ice.

Oh, by the way, while we are there we might sell a generator or 2, or maybe 300.

PS: Sammy will be there also. That a boy Sammy..............I bought him a little sweater.

Elk City, Oklahoma

We had a sale tonight in Clinton, Oklahoma, my first bad sale this run, we lost money. Two more sales to go. Cheyenne, OK and Protection, KS, they are both little bitty towns but I have had big sales at both. Arthur and I are at Walmart in Elk City, Arthur is shopping and I am in the coach with Sammy. I have to get 30 more sales booked, but I now have to take 3 weeks off to get ready for a run of 30.

Duncan, Oklahoma

Another Good Sale, we're on a roll. I've been coming down here for about 35 years it has always been a good sale. I have to map out another run tonight, I have to pick out 20 good sales. We found a RV Park 1 mile south of the Fairgrounds, NO CABLE & NO WIFI, but we will get buy.

All we need is Fox News, Fox Radio Talk & America Right and not a Democrat anywhere around.
I just can't get enough Obama (DBA Obozo) bashing, this guy is absolutley an idiot.

Ardmore, Oklahoma

We are just having a good run, good buyers, good bidders. There is just not many pictures to take in Oklahoma. Oklahoma is one of my favorite states, I have had 36 years of sales down here everywhere. I found a scenic turnout today and here it is.

Kellyville, OK, Chandler, OK, Ada, OK

Just having sales day after day, and listening to Fox News, Fox Radio Talk and America Right 24 hours a day. I just can't get enough of it.

I have to drive about 180 miles tomorrow to buy a damn license that I don't even need for a Saturday Sale. Maybe something will happen tomorrow that will be interesting.

Pryor, Oklahoma

Another good sale, it was 90% Amish, I have always enjoyed them. You don't have to worry about bad checks, and their kids sit there all night and don't move. How do they get them to do that. They all drove their tractors, that way you don't have to pay taxes or insurance. But on Sunday they use their horse and buggies. They don't buy things they don't need but when they want something they'll bid till they get it.

Arthur, Sammy and I are back at Walmart RV Park my favorite RV Park.

Claremore, Oklahoma

Great Sale TODAY.. Bidders, Big Buyers, Just an all around great sale. It really feels good to be back in Oklahoma. I have always had good sales here.

Forrest City, Arkansas

We left Georgia this morning bright and early, made it into Alabama, and then Mississippi and Arthur our Truck Driver got pulled over for a surprise DOT inspection. GREAT. We got put out of service because we needed 2 tires, well there went a quick $400.00 for 2 used tires. We finally got going again and then Memphis (to much traffic) then another scale but we sailed through. I put the GPS on Walmart and here we are Forrest City, Arkansas. What a long day, we will finish up tomorrow we have only about 350 miles to go.

I was just reading about Ben Nelson getting booed out of a pizza joint. Good he needs to move to another state anyway.

Last Sale in Georgia

I have been all over this country, I can't find an Obama Fan.

Is there any?

We are in Camilla, Georgia the only American Legion I have ever seen that has an Olympic swimming pool. It was built in 1947. It was a bad sale tonight, and I am ready to go to Oklahoma. We have 2 days to get to the next sale in Claremore, OK , 899 miles to go.

Blakley, Georgia

REAL BAD SALE

THAT'S IT, PERIOD.

Richland, Georgia

I had nerve racking day yesterday, getting oil changes, getting some inventoring done, just didn't feel up to par. At sale time I had a small crowd, oh that is a bad feeling and boom....they starting off bidding like crazy, and they didn't stop it was unbelievable. We had a pretty good sale. There was a retired President of a bank and he and another spent alot of money. We got up this morning to go to Richland and had to go through Plains Georgia, Home of Jimmy Carter. I was going to stop and take some pictures, but I can't take pictures of Democrats. Well anyway the Bank President from last night showed up tonight with the Mayor of Plains and they spent about 3 grand and we had another good sale. He told me old Jimmy teaches Sunday School every Sunday. I had to ask to Mayor if he was a Democrat. Hell NO. Then we got along just fine.

PS: I had another good buyer, after he left I found out he is building a brand new Mortuary across the street from the Old Folks Home.

Good Night

One Bad Day in Roberta, Georgia

This morning didn't start off to bad, the Lady let us in the hall to setup the sale. After she left to go to church, the heater in the building quit. No heat and she is not available. Finally about 10 minutes to sale time she shows up, flipped a switch and it started back up. We have a nice big crowd, I started off the first item and no one bids, so I add more to it, no bids. I put up a $20.00 Die grinder and Bits & some dumb SOB holds up two fingers. This goes on and on, no one bids no one gives me any request, I don't have one clue why they even showed up, because they weren't there to buy anything. Sale is over and they have completely wore me out. We load up, and head to the sale, my GPS is wrong and we miss Americus, GA by 13 miles. We turn around drive back to Walmart, park the truck and go to get a bite to eat when we returned there was a security car by our truck. I pull over and asked him what was the problem, this little miniature security guard tells me we can't park our truck at Walmart. It was then my job to be very, very rude and crude. So we move the truck to the Sale location. I have probably stayed at over 500 Walmarts and not 1 time have we had to move the truck off there lot. We came back to Walmart and parked the RV, I am just waiting for this little miniature security guard to come visit. I am very tired, worn out, and I hope I do not run into anyone tonight in the general public.

I watched the Fall of the Rebublic last night 2 hours and 24 minutes. I emailed the youtube address last night, every one needs to take the time and watch it. I was trying to copy and paste the address but it is not working, type The Fall of the Republic in you search engine and click on full version. This will make you mad.

Barnesville, Georgia

Buggy Town Auction, I want to have more sales here.

These are my favorite sales, old Auction Houses with all the good ole boys. This old Auction House draws crowds of 400 to 500 people every Friday. They sell everything from chickens to goats, rabbits or anything you can think of. We had a beautiful crowd and it was a pretty good sale. Good bidders.

Manchester, GA

We had a sale tonight in the Manchester Mill, which was built in 1909 and was a textile company, now it is a huge rental hall. It is 4 miles from Warm Springs, Ga where FDR lived and died..

His house in Warm Springs is called the Little White House.

There is a springs there that is always right at 90 degrees. The sale was no big deal because it had no heat and it is cold down here (45 to 50).

Here's Dillon !



Aunt Connie playing with Mattie

Here is Mattie and I taking pictures of each other.

Carrollton, Georgia

We had a great sale tonight with only 21 people, they jumped right in and bid, they were there to buy. We had a $3800.00 buyer, a $3000.00 buyer and the other bidders just did their job.

It is cold down here, it says it is 18 here tonight at Camp Walmart. My GPS showed 2 Walmart's in town and there is not, there is only one, and it was wrong, I had to call to find out where they were located.

We need another good sale tomorrow.

Enid, Oklahoma

The last night in Enid, Oklahoma, Connie will head to Nebraska tomorrow and I will be going south to Georgia. Connie's sisters daughter Tiffany and her daughter Mattie and son Dillon were visiting and we spent time with them tonight. I forgot just how much energy little ones can have.
Well back to work tomorrow.

Happy New Year

We are still camped out in a RV Park in Enid, OK, not much going on. I am just going to lay around today.

Bartlesville, OK

Johnny and Midge, from Shady Point, Oklahoma drove up to Bartlesvilles and spent the day with us. Midge and Connie are the same age and went to High School together. She also was with her when she met her 1st husband.

Here is Sadie peaking thru a hole in one of are tool carts.

All 3 doggies Sadie, Sammy and Molly
at the Bartlesvilles Sale.

Bartlesville, OK

Finally a nice big crowd, number 12 was from Florida, and he bought everthing, I need about 10 guys like him. Good crowd.

Bartlesville, OK

What a mess, I hate winter, I hate cold weather. I told Connie I am done with winter. We found a nice RV Park and it freezes. The water in the motorhome was froze this morning, wondeful, I finally got the cold water to work but the hot is still froze. The dogs don't even want to go outside. I have an auction Sunday, and my crew is snowed in. Sammy chewed up my glasses several months ago, I have using Dollar General reading glasses and I have stressed eyes they even hurt.

Merry Christmas.......

Tulsa, OK

What a long drive today, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennesse, Arkansas, Oklahoma I have 80 more miles tomorrow. Not happy with Ben Nelson, he does not deserve to represent Nebraska, what he pulled is nothing but plain old corupution, he should be nput in jail,. They all are liars and cheats, I am ashamed of Nebraska, Our entire government is corupt, they all need to ago. Vote the son of bitches out. Ambien is clicking in, better go.

Cedartown, Georgia

Tonight was the last sale, I just left Cedartown, Ga and am on my way to Bartlesville, OK where I think my wife is going to meet me. I have an auction in Bartlesville, OK on the 27th, Enid, OK 28th and Woodward, OK on the 29th and then back to Georgia. I think Sammy is getting tired of riding we have been alot of miles. Sammy and I are camping out again tonight at Walmart somewhere on the Alabama line. Got to go Sammy wants a treat.

Carterville, Georgia

Gore, Georgia

Take a look at this crappy road we had to use today to get to the hall. We made it up OK but our load truck didn't make it. Another $500.00 for a tow truck.

Canton, Georgia

Bad Day!!! Pouring down rain and Arthur gets stuck , we can't get to the hall because it is pure mud. So we have to get a $185,000.00 60 ton wrecker to come out, after 2 hours in a miserable rain storm we get it out. Cost $500.00. Then we have to take another building, that we could safely get to. The other problem the customers had nowhere to park because they would get stuck. Then the advertising didn't get out until yesterday, just a little to late. Bad Sale!

We were to get a load of mdse today, and the load driver had a wreck. What a day.

I am now back at RV Walmart, it 9:30pm and it is packed, unbelievable.

Dawsonville, Georgia

What a City Hall, if you ever get to Dawsonville, Georgia visit city hall.

This is where it all started, drivers running moonshine to Atlanta, then the drivers started getting together and racing on Saturday nights, and eventually Nacsar was born.

This is the home of Bill Elliot. The city hall has beautiful museum in it and we had our sale tonight in the museum.

Ball Ground, Georgia

I am tired, just real damn tired. Thats it!

Cleveland, Georgia

I am in the sticks today, can you tell.

Gainesville, Georgia

Sammy got quite a suprise today. The auction hall had a kitchen in it and Sammy went snooping, I was plugging in a cord when I heard him yelp, he had went behind a refrigerator and I could see him backing out as fast as he could, then he turned and looked at me and had a mouse trap stuck to his whiskers and he didn't like that. It was kinda of funny.

We had a small crowd but they came to spend money, it turned out better than I thought it was going to. Sold alot of

Terry Woodring had a great sale today in Texas, good job Terry.

Homer, Georgia

Another bad sale today, I need more people, they just don't have the money. Obama has to go.
If they would let them drill the oil boom would come back and add millions of jobs. I wish I would have never got into politics, this drives me nuts. I should have just stayed drunk. I have to run 90 auctions a year just to pay taxes and that is a bunch of crap. The sale was suppose to start at 6 PM but there was a printing error and people showed up at 1 PM and we wern't ready. So we sold what we could, it was kinda of mess. Well enough pitty pot today, I am ready to go to RV Walmart. We were at an American Legion today so I let Sammy sit on the tank. Well I must go now, I am going to turn Fox News UP, I just crave Obama bashing. Bye

Winder, Georgia

Bad Sale, Real bad sale, really bad sale. No more sale is Winder, Georgia.

It is nice and warm, Sammy and I just back from a walk, the weather is so nice and I just went in my T Shirt.

I would take some pictures but there is really not anything to take pics of..

Toccoa, Georgia

Sales have been slow the last couple of days, but tonight was fair at least they had a little money.
It has been miserable today, it has been raining, my jacket got soaked today. Maybe tomorrow it will be back to a normal 65 or 70. Sammy and I are getting ready to go to our favorite RV Park,
WALMART. I hope there is some good Obama bashing on the radio tonight, I just can not imagine why anybody could be a Democrat, did they bump their heads when they were a kid.

Hiawassee, Georgia

We had a medium size crowd today, and a fair sale. We got up this morning to a small snow blizzard, it didn't stick but I left Idaho and Utah to get out of the cold weather and here it is snowing and it is cold ( I have to wear a jacket) in Georgia. Well we made it to the next Camp Walmart, what a nice place to park.

Blue Ridge, Georgia Good Sale...Good Crowd

Chatsworth, Georgia

I had a huge crowd, they didn't have any money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the biggest crowds I have seen this year. They were broke. I got my camera out to take a picture of this huge crowd, and I had sat on my camera and brought the LED Screen. I won't see any Walmart for about a week to buy a new one. My water pump went in the motorhome and the guy hosed me. $85.00 for the pump and $225.00 to put it in. 3 hour job at 75.00 an hour.

PS:Tiger is not very smart, is he.

Dalton, Georgia

Not much to report, we had our first sale in Trenton, Georgia and last night we were in Dalton, GA. We had a good crowd in Trenton and a small crowd last night in Dalton. We need bigger crowds. The water pump has went out on the motorhome so here will go another $200.00 plus this morning.

Rock City, Lookout Mountain, Tennesse

Arthur

This huge rock balances just on these other 2 rocks, it is kinda of spooky to walk under.

Fat Man Squeeze

Another pic of going through Fat Man Squeeze

Arthur on the swinging bridge, I really didn't care for it.

Mushroom Rock

Rock City, Lookout Mountain, Tennesse

My 1st trip to Rock City on Lookout Mountain, Tennesse was about 50 years ago. I beleive my folks had a 1957 Ford. I had to be 5 or 6 and I still have the slides from that trip. I still remember the Fairyland Caverns . If you ever get to Lookout Mountain, go to Rock City.
Sis, do you remember Lookout Mountian?

These are Fairytales deep in the caverens of rock and displays in caves.
