Hi Ralph (and everyone),

    I just got back from the lake and drove right past the place where this 
auction will take place.  All the stuff is already out on display as it is 
right next to the highway.  From the website it looks like every thing is up 
for auction including the house and land.  The only thing not selling is the 
old Hart-Parr that was in the family from day one.

    I wonder what happened to Mr. Hein?  He and his family are very nice 
people.  Every year they would host their own old time threshing festival 
complete with $3 pancake breakfast.  Lots of fun and zero cost for admission 
- totally volunteer by the family.  It appears that something drastic must 
have happended to make such dedicated people stop doing what they obviously 
loved doing.  I will be going to the sale for sure so I guess I'll find out 
then.

    I think I'll be checking into that little Allis B as well as the John 
Deere 8ft power binder.  I'd rather the binder was a Massey-Harris, but 
beggars can't be choosers so what the heck.   I've already got a threshing 
machine and tractor, so obviously I "need" a binder.  :-)  Actually, I'm 
going to show my wife the house this weekend so perhaps if it's nice and I 
can convince her it's time to move, I might even take a poke at the acreage 
itself.  Now THAT would be nice!
