I have been MIA as the last 6 months see the liquidation of my father-in-laws estate. The man was the king of hoarders--we filled 2 jeeps with car magazines and newspapers to recycle, so that was the usual hoarder stuff you find, but that was certainly not all. We also sent 4 Jeep loads and 3 trailer loads of antique radios to auction, well over 1000 radios. Next, we have thousands of radio tubes and knobs and speakers and parts and more parts. Boxes filled with gaskets and car parts, fenders, windshields, tires, everything car. Then comes my next task after moving all that, the sorting and selling of motorcycle parts. This is one of I think 50 speedometers. He had some rare ones, this one brought almost $700, an early Harley brought $1000. We almost sent motorcycle frames to the scrap yard, but decided to try an auction starting them at $50. They all brought about $4000 each---are you freaking kidding me? I still have several actual full Indian motorcycles to sell, a couple Harleys, bunch of engines, it is so much fun. NOT. Last week was scrap yard week and despite all that we have moved out, there was still 10,000 pounds of metal to send the the scrap guy. That is not an exaggeration, it was literally 10,000 pounds. House finally sold and I think I just have one more weekend of moving crap out, but still months ahead of continuing to sell all the crap that is piled up around my ears at my house.
Poor old Catspaw is limping along amidst the chaos. I occasionally get some stuff done...
