I've never been to a farm auction and bid, only hay auctions. And so when I was there yesterday bidding, I found myself doing the same thing as I do at hay auctions. Pretty funny I suppose. I arrive early and make decisions about exactly which lots I want and how much I'll pay. I get very focused and serious, and if anyone bothers me and my thinking, especially when bidding is nearing the lots I want, I tell them to stop talking and go away. Haha! No, I don't actually say that, but people get the hint somehow. When I bid, I stare right at the guy who is acknowledging my bids and just keep my eyes on him the whole time until the bidding is over. I never look around to see who is bidding against me. No idea. None. Don't care either. But I'm sure yesterday, that I was bidding against Amish. 95% or more of people there were Amish and it was an Amish property. I got there and walked up the driveway and almost turned and went home. All I saw was a sea of dark clothing and straw hats. Men in blue all around the bidding and women in blue and purple and black bonnets, standing in rows like a choir up by the house, not moving or talking, just staring straight ahead. Here comes me, a female in jeans and a bright yellow rain jacket and farm boots up to the knee, and nothing covering my head. I felt horribly out of place.

In the process of rebuilding a particular section of the tractor there is a broken part for which a replacement cannot be found. The parts houses find in their catalogue that it is unavailable. The dealerships call it a discontinued part. Salvage yards define it as hard to find or, even worse, rare. Everyone on the NET says, 'what is it?'
