What a conversation I had TODAY!!!

Friends and Society--

The day started off regular----No work so I hung out at a friends business looking for remodel jobs that may come up. I got a small one where a 150' barn wall was falling and 50' of roof was on the ground. I took my tractor and truck full of tools and got the girl standing with most of a ridge look. Tomorrow I will build a temporary wall inside the barn and fix the broken trusses to re construct the block wall that has fallen.

After I finished the work for the day I decided to contact a person that had 1000s of un-searched rolls of pennies looking for coins for my 100 Modern set. We had a short conversation on the phone that turned into a LONG conversation. Seems that he has been collecting rolls of wheats and other coins for years and does not have the good vision he had earlier and needs someone to search his coins for varieties.

I am to meet him on Saturday and the rolls of coins -- that have never been opened since his purchases in the last 20 years. I am probably going to look like a kid in a candy store again and I can't wait to meet this guy and his coins. He is interested in opening a store and already has his license " looking for a non-invest partner. This may become a very good visit this weekend and I will keep you posted as to where it leads me.

Later----Rick
