I said I bought a mess of fishing stuff yesterday. :doh2: It's still to wet for me and my sprayer this morning[Mandy is going though :biggrin:] so me and the boys[mostly Donny] went through it all this morning and kinda/sorta separated it into piles. One bid was all it took for us to have some fun with this stuff.

Nice catch Barry. :yoyo: Just a quick glance over the items, there is a few hundred bucks worth of stuff there. And those P-38s are priceless. :eyebrownod:

Barry,

When you said you bought some fishing stuff I assumed that you did just that - bought some fishing stuff. You should have said that you bought a Bass Pro store. :biggrin:

I was wondering about that bacon too. Down here, McDonalds has us all believing Canadian bacon is round. :eyebrownod:

It was quite a sale for two 80+ year old brothers, one had been married and the other never did. This was the one guys whole bag of loot for fishing :readthis:. They sold a L3 Gleaner combine for $17,500 that I've seen sell for $1,000(the combine is old but looks and runs like new), 1981 International truck with 404 gas motor sold for the same price :shock2: and other stuff sold like crazy. I came in second on te gopher traps at $250 and let the boys bid this lot of fishing gear up to $100 and then bid $110 :wink:. I never even looked at it first :doh2:.
Scott "frog" toast would be french toast :innocentwhistle:. You know I like to turn anything froggy into "sheeeeite" :readthis:.

Ed what the (L) is a P-38 :shrug: I always kinda thought those characters represented a WW2 airplane. :wo: McD's changed most peoples way of thinking about a lot of food :nofgr:.

John I'm to cheap to pay list for much :laf: :laf:.

Barry, a P-38 is the Army's name for a can opener. Used back in the day when we ate C-Rations that came in a can. Not like the stuff they have in bags now.
We used to trade the Frogs (French) for their rations. Theirs came with a pack of 3 cigarettes and a small bottle of Cognac. :eyebrownod:

Also heard P-38s called John Waynes.
I did figure out why those Mae Wests you got Barry are called Mae Wests. :biggrin:

That's a nice haul. I'm sure the boys are excited to start using it all.
