:) New TBN Jacket now up for auction for charity

[jinman]

Beenthere... Did you have the $300 bid???

I set my maximum bid at $300 and somebody else bid the same amount. Because I bid it first, their bid was subordinate to mine. I figured if I won the jacket on a $300 bid, I'd put it up for sale in the TBN classifieds and raise a few more bucks. When you bid $305, that was icing on the cake. I decided to let you have it at $305 and match your bid so we could raise at least $610 for Audubon. Had you let me win the jacket, you could have purchased it from me in the TBN classified for far less than $305, but I wasn't about to tell you that. The idea was to get as much for the birds as possible and I think we did that.:thumbsup:

....Had you let me win the jacket, you could have purchased it from me in the TBN classified for far less than $305...

I got the spike aerator and a 5' rear blade for $60... never really used the aerator and the wife wanted it gone so if I didn't win the jacket I had already planned to donate the money from the sale anyway... $305 was my final bid... and somewhat shocked it won!!!

Part of the reason I didn't tell everyone that I won the bid right away was I had absolutely no idea how to pay for it (and cover up my tracks :laughing. Wife thought it was very funny that I got into her ebay account... not so much when I broke into her paypal account.

I couldn't tell for the plants. You're not wearing sandals with that Tyvek suit, are you?

Oh, Heavens no... ...they are sneakers :laughing::laughing::laughing: We spray a row over so I don't worry about it. I used to use rubber boots but they would fill up with sweat, chaff real bad and was just not worth it...

No, it's cotton... here's another shot later in the season...

It looked like sweet potatoe vines in the earlier picture. How many acres you got????

Don't they make sprayers for those high wheel tractors to do that???? :laughing:

Or did you spend the sprayer money on that jacket????

Man, that looks like it took a while.

That's what I was thinking. I'd look like this :drool: after spraying all that with a backpack sprayer.
