Work, Work, Work......

Here it is, a few days until all the excitement hits it's peak. DH & his younger brother, Charlie , are in the thick of things. Today was the busiest we have seen it yet.
Vendors are moving in, the main auction tent is being prepared and things change on a minute by minute basis.
Did we mention cars, cars, cars?! They are beginning to show up everywhere. One minute you look and you see something you haven't seen before, then you turn around and you think to yourself, "Holy Crap, where did that come from?!"
If you take a moment to think how large this site is and imagine every square foot of it changing minute by minute, you can imagine that every corner you turn, you see something new..... It really is quite amazing!
Here are a few photos from today that DH was able to capture while helping the vendors move in and handing out site map drawings to all who needed them.

It has been raining here in the valley for the last few days. It was great to see the sky open up and let us tend to our duties without getting soaked!

DH grew up around the time of the Monkee's and has the matching die-cast car. It was great to see the actual car in person.

Here is a photo showing the actual stage where the cars are auctioned off. It is moving along quite nicely and will look fantastic. Remember, if you click on the photo it will show you a much larger image. More updates to follow.

Is that Charlie taking a nap in the sleeping bag on the stage or is it you Thomas? It must be against the law to have so much fun at work.

cars, cars, cars... too bad you guys aren't having any fun. Sheesh! Prior to you talking about B-J last summer, I had never heard about it before. And so now, I'm tuning into channel 33 here, checking out last year's video spots, knowing that the sale will be starting today. How can you sleep at night knowing that there's so much to be done AND with all the excitement buzzing?

Meanwhile, we are enjoying temps this week during the day of 19. 20, 11, 5 and 0 by Saturday wth lows of -7 to -18 by Saturday night. Great. Can't wait. The Saturn has been firing up every morning, though so I can't complain! Please send up warmer temps!

DH and Ali are heading to Kansas on Friday for a soccer tourny along with some select team mates. They will be home sometime on Monday. Miss Grace and I will be hangin' out here trying to stay warm and keep the pipes from freezing! I will look for you two on the tube! Miss you both!
