No kidding. Ritchie bros new minim buyers fee is 100$ now. Doesn’t matter if it’s a 5$ lot they’re going to charge you 105$ plus tax.  On farm auctions are exempt but truthfully there hasn’t been a on farm auction for 3 years now through them. 

I got that notice the other day. I used to pick up the odd small thing here and there at the yard sales. Guess not anymore. I hope by on farm sales means not their yard sales not live on site sales

[midnightman]

Hadn’t seen the notice from Ritchie’s yet. After the last vehicle purchase I made from them, I definitely would think twice before even bidding on one of their sales. The buyers fees, documentation fee, and taxes on top of that ended up being almost as much as the hammer price

He was apt to talk about "the maggots of wisdom" coming from a "glass or three".

The "maggots of wisdom" may come but, on reflection, they usually seem to be described more truthfully by a friend's

"Well, it seemed a good idea at the time"

I know personally about the Walsh's fight with alcohol.

That's my go-to. It's the beer I "learned on" so to speak, living in Buffalo.

My "learned on" was old style beer, xmas day 1956, to this day I still remember the gorgeous hops smell when the old man cracked it open, we were at a work buds place and toasted xmas, I still remember henry asking "should jake have a beer" and the old man says sure its a holiday, and there it started, and being a stoopid kid I told my mother, "hey guess what I had" ooohh she was pissed.

I have 4 boys and try to have those moments with them whether it be shooting or doing something a little exciting in a car/truck or letting them say a few choice words but there is always at least one that runs back to the wife and blabs. Had to sit them down and explain that what happens with dad STAYS with dad lol

My father's ruling was

"When you're old enough to do a man's work you can use a man's language"

Definitely have to factor that all in when bidding. We've actually bought quite a few things from their sales and pretty cheap. But they're definitely getting a little crazy on the fees. Sad part is there is quite a few other's that are similar or even worse

Ya I know dat story, when my boy was growing up we had the same rule, and my gurl also, just a little different though.

Had a couple drinks last night and made homeade pizzas with my kids. Wife bought me a pizza que gas fired pizza oven. Pretty cool makes a perfect brick oven type pizza in about 5 minutes. Only problem is she didnt buy me the slide dealio so I was out there in cold trying to slide raw pizzas in off a flat sheet using cornmeal to slide it off. Worked....

Blue Moon and homemade pizza here.

[acem]

We had homemade pizza Friday night. 

Oh yeah!

[DT Fan]

Boy, that pizza really hit the spot! Don't know if it was the greatest ever or I was just hungry but it was good. Blue Moon not too shabby either!

That’s me with tequila, bad scene. Strictly a beer man, but ive had about 4 of those in the last 2-3 months. No time, no ambition/desire and I am WAY more productive in the evening without it. 
i also like expensive beer so that’s also a savings 😂

Back in my younger, wilder days I used to say "Beer gets me tipsy, whiskey gets me drunk, tequila gets me felony charges."

For seven years my wife stayed home with the kids while I worked. She started back working a couple weeks ago, and I am off this week. Since she always did fine job keeping the house I thought I would do that for her while she was gone, so I was gonna take care of the kids, do the cleaning, and have supper ready this week. I didn't even make it through the first day before I started drinking on the job. I dont think I'm meant to be domesticated.

Pretty sure the cans were worth more than the container, even back then😀

I believe there's a sentiment on another current thread to the effect of: some breeds can't be trained.

Looks like you qualify

Yeah but I make a pretty loyal companion if you can get used to me dragging my butt across the carpet.

My Dad's opinion on drinking beer or other alcoholic drinks was "ones just right, twos too many and three ain't near enough"

This bubbled up later - I should have mentioned the Celtic "Second sight" there
