Well I brought home over 500 cans and Stacy (my girlfriend) , Parker and Bella helped stack them and get them out of boxes they were all thinking I had gone crazy. The next weekend Parker and I went to the local flea market and Parker was told not to let me buy any oil cans. When we got to the market there was two rocker cans Parker told me I couldn't buy them so I asked if I could rent them and he said that wasn't buying them so we did. Last night I asked them if they wanted to make some money and of course they did so they picked out two cans a piece to clean and list on eBay. They get the profit from the cans and shipping and paying me for what I have in the cans. All day they have been asking what they were at and how many watchers they have. Parker 10 likes Sinclair and Bella 6 like Richfield.

It does my heart good; seeing younger generations working together to ensure "history" is being preserved....

It also makes me feel "oh so Old, at the same time"... LOL

I hope the two "youngest" make a "ton" of money!!!

(Chad, if you haven't done it yet... You should consider putting the auction #'s in the "Online Forum"...)

Make sure you post the eBay Item numbers in the Online Auction Forum so the Oldgas Membership can bid on their cans.
