Many of you all know about the Barrett Jackson Auction we are having here in the Valley of the Sun...err RAIN! Well there is another , smaller classic car auction that goes on just down the street. It is called the Russo-Steel auction. Well they are making allot of news this morning and last night. If you were watching the Barrett Jackson last night on speed. You may have heard about the storm that was coming through and they wanted everyone to stay inside. Well at that time we had a tornado warning going on and the Russo Steel Auction got NAILED!! The big tents that all of the cars, many of them convertibles with the tops down. Was blown off and big tent polls went flying into all of these classic cars. You should see the carnage. Well because of the danger. The police got everyone out, and would not let car owners back in. Not even the one with those convertibles to put there tops up. They Might let the car owners in later today when the safty issues are taken care off.
Well anyways, what I am getting to is that I just went on there site. I saw that Bob Reed has two of his BO29s there. One being the Sox & Martin car. Here is the auction house's web site
http://www.russoandsteele.com/ I wonder if those cars are OK. I know that there is a couple of guys here that know Bob. It looks like with Bob trying to save money in the high auction fees, He picked the wrong action to sell at. Here is a link to the local news on that auction. You have got to see this Video.

I feel very lucky that I only have 5 leaks in my house. The fricken homes in this town are not built for this kind of rain. We have some Cheap home builders here.
