The Ford Barn

I went out to my favorite old car junkyard today, and was surprised, but not surprised. It is the only yard in about a 100 mile radius that had lots of Fords, and a yard you could still go in and pick what you wanted. Anyway, anything and everything that may have been good is gone. Nothing left of any use or value. I have pulled a lot of stuff out of there over the last 20 or so years, I have been a good and steady customer. I have shipped his parts all over the US, and a little to Canada also. So now truly what I have left is it. I never made a huge profit off of this stuff, but I had a lot of fun. (well, sometimes not) There is one yard about 200 miles away, and another about double that distance, it's too far to go, and the prices are set at the upper limit of e-pay sales, so no reason to go that route. It's kind of sad, but inevitable, nothing goes on forever I guess.
