While looking for Orvis cargo shorts on the Goodwill website, the search came up with a new listing for six identical brand new Orvis fly rods in the original tubes, socks and with papers.  They are 7'9", 5 wt, probably for trout fishing in close quarters. 

I don't fly fish but know Orvis rods are expensive so I threw out a ridiculous $30 opening bid for the lot and then forgot about it. Apparently, trout fishermen do not shop at Goodwill because a few weeks later there was notice I had won the auction.  The lot must have a MSRP of about $1500.

I kept one rod to play around with and gave the other five away.  Benny was owed a favor for an act of kindness earlier in the year so he got two.

Do you have a display case for your tractor collection?

We don't need a mower, but the tiny front-end loader attachment for the 140 would sure be handy.

Yeah, "old" garden tractors seem to accumulate at my place, too!
