This has nothing to do about camping but it is relevent to me.  I have a asphalt roller that I have been trying to sell for six months.  I have given up and put it in an auction.  I am nervous because the auction is a no reserve auction.  The auction is on Tuesday March 2.  Hopefully I do well I can definatly use the money!

Sold for $2000.  I was into it about $300 so I did pretty good.  I'm very happy with the results.

Good job.....

One time, I was on my way to visit the grandkids. There was a yard sale around the corner from my daughter's house. I spotted one of those old, metal peddle cars and thought that it might be fun for my grandson (4 at the time). I bought it for $5.

My daughter didn't want him in it because some of the metal was a little rough and there was a few rust marks.

I took it home and listed it on eBay (just for kicks & giggles).......the darn thing went for $560. I thought I was going to faint. It went from $30 to $560 in the last minute of bidding........It seems that people collect those things.

I,m always looking for that diamond in the rough.  Sometimes I think I've really found something special but wind up paying someone to haul away their junk.  Other times I take things like the roller that somebody else is throwing away and it turns out very well.  It's a fun side business either way.

Well looks like four furlough days in June.  To make two four day weekends.  Soo you might be seeing a self serve rally thread pretty soon...

Doesn't furlough mean days off without pay :confused:
I would think this would cut into your camping trips :yikes:

well it will, but we are saving some of our tax return to help defray...  we will go somewhere cheap!

a WEAK THEORY in economics says that if you make less then your taxes will be less and therefore more pocketable monies.  Wishful thinking!  We are in negotiations now and awaiting the outcome of it.

Heard today that Los Angeles Superior Court is laying off 329 employees on April 1st (why do they always seem to pick that date to lay people off? It's not a joke to those losing their jobs...) and another 500 employees in September. Fall of 2011 will see another 530 employees let go.
 
So far, Orange County Superior Court hasn't actually said that there will be layoffs, but they aren't guaranteeing anything either....

OUCH!!!!!! for everyone concerned. We don't exactly have the most efficient court system in the world as it is. This will impact a LOT of people......not just the ones being laid off (not that, that is a small thing).
