Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a memorable Christmas and looking forward to a great New Year! I didn't waste any time getting out and pickin'... New Years morning at 8 am my son Mike,  his girlfriend Janet and I were up to our knees in junk! We found an Estate in SE Fresno that was unbelievable! This home belonged to a hoarder and if you spent a week there you couldn't find everything... A real mess!

Mike and Janet having a great time

 With about 30 people already there we didn't waste anytime jumping in and getting dirty. I started in the garage and the kids went in the house. After spending about an hour hunting for treasures we were ready to check out. We found some amazing things and I look forward to posting them on eBay so I can start making some money.
After the estate sale we found a vintage garage sale and bought more collector items. Mike bought an old "Sun" music mixer for his guitar amps. The guy wanted 30.00 and Mike started haggling and said I'll give you 20 bucks.The guy was set on selling it for 30 but Mike eventually popped on it for 20.00. He's a chip off the ol' block.
I had a great time with the kids and I think they enjoyed junkin' with the old man.

Anyway, have a great year finding cool stuff and get dirty!

Joe
