It has been crazy busy here! DH has started his new job and is loving every minute of it. It's crazy to see behind the scenes of the greatest collector car auction in the world.
DH has been working crazy hours and YES weekends if you can believe it!
Here is an aerial photo showing the site as it was last year. In the upper left corner with all the tents is the actual auction site. All cars you see are from the people that attend the auction, not the cars that cross the auction block.
Saturday, DW brought lunch to DH at Westworld and DH gave her the tour of the site as it is today.
Here are some photos showing the progress. Granted the auction is now only 34 day's away. DH anticipates his hours getting longer and longer.
Not to worry though, this has been a dream for DH for many many years. His dream has come true and he is absorbing everything he can.
Here is a photo showing the main tent where the cars cross the auction block. The tent color has changed this year because a weather system came through and destroyed parts of the shell after last years auction. If you try and relate the photo from the photo above, this replaces the tent that had the American flag on it.
This is the view of the mountains from the auction site. Granted, this was taken early in the morning on Saturday when we had rain moving across the area.
YES, it does rain here in AZ!
DH has seen this with full sun and it's absolutely breath taking.
Here is a current photo of the main tent as it sits right now. Many more additions of tenting will be added in the up-coming days.
This is where it all happens. Hard to believe the auction is just a few weeks away.
I can't wait to see it all come together and hear the famous last words: Sold, Sold, Sold!
What an adventure!!!

Well THERE you are! I've been patiently waiting and waiting for an update and whew! There you are! Looks and sounds like you've been busy at work Tom! How exciting for you - I can just picture how pumped you are to go to work each day and for that I am thrilled! I took a lok at the B-J website and it's quite interesting.
Thought of you today Tom while I was outside (right now it's 16* with a windchilld of -3*). I was spending my umpteenth hour slamming the edge of my shovel underneath the 1" compacted snow/ice/snow mixture that had been driven on by a combination of Explorers, Blazers, ambulances, squads and occasional Saturn! What a job! YOUR driveway is black and clear (sheesh - how I yearn for tar this time of year!). I remember how annoyed you would get with the whole d*%m thing and I'd hear a few choice words! But for now, my driveway is clear right down to the pavement and jeepers do my muscles ache! Whoops - gotta run - DH just pulled in for a quick supper during his shift. Glad to see your post! Miss you guys!
Tommy Boy we are so glad for the two of you. From my snow covered drive way it looks so warm in AZ. We miss the two of you and wish you get everthing you wished for at Christmas but Santa gave you talent, the girl of your dreams and a friend like me.
Merry Christmas..God Bless You!
