The boss got a call the other day asking him to help with auctioneer duties over at the Sprout Brook machinery auction. They must have figured he would be willing because when he went over yesterday they had a company shirt with his name on it all ready for him. Here he is in front of his tractor display case in all his finery. (Note the nifty hair cut provided by yours truly. I HATE cutting hair but I do it when I gotta.)
Neat! Does he do the actual fast talkin'?
ReplyDeleteHe cleans up pretty good! And he looks as happy as a clam at high tide :)
ReplyDeleteAppears that he is going to like his Auctioneer duties :) I hope he has a great time....
ReplyDeletethat's a good lookin' haircut for someone who really doesn't like the job :)
Have a great weekend.
Gonna be fun!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. Nice to see a picture of the boss! :)
ReplyDeleteFC, oh, yeah, we both went to auctioneering school way back when and he is good at it.
ReplyDeleteNita, he does, doesn't he? lol I think he is delighted although I suspect he is going to be real tired tonight, poor guy
Deb, thanks on all counts. I am hoping he has a terrific time...he had earned it. You have a great weekend too
Dani, I am hoping. Liz is taking video!
JB, thanks, he was raising heck with me, making faces and all...I had to wait until he was ready to walk away to get the shot I wanted. Not bad for an old guy...lol
LOL about the haircut. Husband grew up on NY dairy farm, mom did the haircuts on the boys. Who has time for barbershop?
ReplyDeleteGuess who inherited the job. I hate it too, but I do it when I hafta. He has very curly hair, so it is kind of like shearing a sheep.
You made me laugh, he left on a business trip Thursday, hair cut Wednesday night. :o)
This is so cool. You people just keep getting more interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnd may I add - your hubby has a Gene Hackman quality about him. He happens to be one of my favorite actors. Please don't tell me his politics. (Gene's that is) I don't want to know. I've already written so many twits off my movie list.
You're a brave woman. I've only attacked my husbands hair on a couple of occasions over 40 some years.
You did just fine.

ReplyDeleteMy coworker's an auctioneer too and sometimes I ask him, just for my own amusement, to do his rap for me.
ReplyDelete"ENgineenginenumbernineCOMindownthChicagolineIfthattraingoesoffthetrackTHEREwon'tbenocomin'baaackkk."
...the end of the "rap" disappeared. I guess "comments" doesn't like very very long lines with no spaces!
ReplyDeleteI've always thought it would be fun to learn how to run the patter and talk that fast. I'm also convinced that it would be hard work, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, and have I said lately how good you are with pictures? You captured the enthusiasm the boss has for his auctioneering duties. It's infectious!
Smart lookin' dude you got there and a fast talkin' one to boot! I love your bleeding hearts......Something I just haven't had much luck with here.
ReplyDeletewell he was getting a workout!..when we left @3pm..Ralph's team was still on the first row!...soooo much stuff to sell! ...and Liz said she got the video..and Dad doesn't know about it..can't wait for that! Big crowd, lots of conversation, great sunny day! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteCaroline, sounds so much like home. lol. I have been cutting hair since my brother had long hair in high school. My mom would nag him to get it cut and he would get me to do it because I didn't take much off.
ReplyDeleteCathy, no bravery really. He has never once complained one word. He likes to have me do it I guess and he just takes what he gets. lol He does clean up good....I was surprised, he was pretty shaggy
Rooster, will do, thanks for stopping by
June, I would love to have heard him do it! We had to lean Betty Botter bought some butter but she says this butters bitter...if I put it in my batter it will make my batter bitter so she bought a bit of better butter, put it in her bitter batter, so tis better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter....I can still barely say it
Jeffro, thanks, those are kind words indeed. He loves auctioneering. I am so glad he got to spend the day doing it. Actually it is way after night chores and he still isn't home, but I guess they had thousands of items to sell. He won't need any rocking tonight. lol
Linda, thanks on both counts. This is the first plant I have ever had any success with. Guess it likes the ground there
anon, sounds like a fun day...he still isn't home. lol
I have a big box of the toy tractors and equiptment that belonged to my son and he is 42 now so you can see they are very old but in good condition.
ReplyDeleteI still cut my family's hair, too. Although I don't mind much, I do love the look of fresh haircut! Your boss has a great smile! Must come from getting to do something he enjoys so much!
ReplyDeleteanon, that is pretty cool! I love it when folks keep the old toys. I have a few of my little horses still. Wish I had them all
ReplyDeleteFaithful, I am glad I am not alone...and thanks, he had such a great time, he is still chattering about it. lol
How much fun!
