Thanks JF1978 for helping me set up at 5AM yesterday morning. I appreciate all you young guys helping me out setting up at these meets, now if only you guys would stay late to help me load up (just kidding). I did have a friend of ours stay with me until the end of the show and helped me load up which I appreciate. Sometimes I am one of the last to leave these swaps. As long as I am feeling well and healthy I figure with all the work to load up, drive there, and reload and drive home, may as well get all I can out out of the meets. A lot of sellers know to drive by my spot at these shows when they are packed up and leaving the swap trying to sell me something I may have looked at earlier. Even had a a few occasions having them offer to me the whole lot they were going home with at a very fair price which I usually accept. Happened yesterday as well. You were with me yesterday when we saw a truck with some ape hangers peering out from the bed at about 6AM driving into their swap spot. We ran over there, bike was priced kind of high, I made him an offer which he said no thanks to, He stopped by with his truck on the way out and offered me the bike at a very fair price, half of what he was asking and I had another Stingray added to the 3 I had already bought earlier in the day. Good times, nothing beats horse trading, buying and selling at swap meets on a nice sunny day.

Look Ma, No Hands!
My pleasure Mike. I’ll try to stay less busy with other family plans to stay and help you load up hahahaha
Great to hear you picked up more items. Also thanks for the good luck on my eBay sale.
The fishing analogy was spot on! Can’t wait for Turlock!
I have been singing the praises about this Galt meet the past few years, but maybe I should keep quiet about it as the more buyers that come out, the harder it will be to snag those nice bikes (just kidding, especially as I go to sell as well as buy).
Yea, I bought that Coppertone 3 speed shown that I will be selling soon with a local pick up. I made an offer on that green 3 speed speed bike which I liked when the seller came in the gate who was a very nice fella, and before he left he came by but we could not make a deal, maybe if I had room in my van for it without repacking everything it would have come home with me. Good meet, think they may be having another one here in Galt January before the big Turlock Swap.
Oh I have heard of that "itsy bitsy" teeny weenie yellow polka dot bikini song. Have not heard that one in maybe 50 years. That she wore for the first time today...... Funny how I can remember song lyrics I have not heard in 50 years but I am horrible with people's names, ask anyone who calls me about that.
