Phlip,
Not bad for an English. ;-)
I spend a lot of time standing next to Amish and bidding on the same stuff
at farm auctions, generally nice people, and they know how to spot the good
stuff in the junk lots. I don't mind losing a few prizes to them as know the
stuff will be used. Not painted bright colours and hung on some flatlanders
wall as "decoration".
