Post by Ron »

It's been a long time since I last posted or even went on this web page .It will take time to go through the forums to see all interesting posts . I'm getting too old to turn a wrench so will have to push keys on the key board !

Thanks for the welcome back ! From the look of it, it's will take some time to catch up on things .
The wife and I will probably start to down size soon , She will retire in July and I have 1 1/2 years, If I make it that long . Knee surgery in the near future too . I guess I will have to go through my barn and sell off some things . It will take that long to go through it all .

There’s a swap meet in Paris ON on April 27, just a one day event, then the big one in June.

Some of us are also going to Vintage Days in Ohio in July ....

All good chances to sell 'stuff' ....

I wish I could make that one , Thanks for the info though .I think I was at a swap meet there before . I have a friend's 80 TH birthday to go to. Besides I could never get ready that soon ,Too much to go through. I had a good time at the last one ,but that was a few years back , I didn't mind the walk around then .
