Last week while Joey was in Minnesota there was an auction at Richie Brothers with a few Bobcats he was interested in. I was in Colusa which is only 30 minutes from the auction--so I was in charge of doing the bidding! Thankfully Luke went with me to test drive the day before and went with me the day of for moral support with the bidding. He also helped line up getting the Bobcat to his house until we get a trailer to bring it up to the cabin.
I was pretty nervous at the auction--it is quite the operation and it all goes SO fast. They do a piece of equipment every minute! It was scary but also pretty fun! I think I was the only girl bidding on anything that morning! :) At least my mom kept Abby because a girl bidding with a baby on the front pack might have been a little too much. :) We did good and walked away with what we wanted!

| The auction stadium--we got there early to see what it is all about! They were playing music over the loudspeakers--I felt like I was at a baseball game! |
