    Cool my auction wins today 10/6

    went to a heavy equipment auction today.Second one i have attended.

    Had my eyes on a concrete saw(gas powered , metal cut off saw) Got for too cheap brand new, definitely a knock off brand.
    I know if it runs i can make tons of money with it, worst i'll do is sell as is for double money easy.



    Then i scored 4 snow plows. 2 8 ft fisher speedcaster for 25 each, 1 7'6" mm1 and 1 western 7'6" with electric motor.
    Want to get a set up on my truck, will sell out and scrap out the rest.

    That plus some other small items and a stupid purchase of a remote controlled fire hose nozzle:confused:

    I love auctions

    I would put the remote controlled nozzle by my mailbox and track people as they walked by. Then time how long it would take for the sherriff to show up.

    Is that for out on the end of the ladder (on a ladder truck) they can extend it to reach into a hot fire so no one has to be close to the hot fire?
    Like airplane fires with the hot jet fuel.
