Well, I had a bad day yesterday. First, the batteries in our tv remote finally decided to betray us. Then, I went to the convenience store and dropped my Yoo-Hoo on the way to the counter. It busted all over the floor. You should have seen the look on the clerk's face.

I'm sorry about the above post, I got mixed up and thought this was another thread.

I am very intrigued, what is a Yoo-Hoo? It can't be what I first thought it might be, because they don't really drop from where they are located.

Yoo-Hoo is a chocolate milk drink. Unfortunately they come in glass bottles at the convenience store I was at, and the bottle was moist from being in the cooler, and it slipped and busted all over the floor. The clerk at the counter had a horrified expression on his face. I paid for it, and another one, and got the heck out of there. I forgot to mention, I was also stung by a bee later that day on my frint porch. Just a bad day.

Yes. I attended, of course.

Dan - Gerber would also have been a good one for you!

Do you recall picking up anything?

IIRC, I bid on a few of the important pieces at Parker and got shut out. I especially remember wanting the 1287, but it went to a far more deserving home. I did buy a few things at Gerber though. (Ask me about Gerber next time we get together.)

Here's a picture of the Gerber 1287. Parker's was better.

Here's a Spanish 2 Reales that I did manage to land. As you might guess, I have a soft spot for major die cutting errors.
