Hey Houston guys.... This isn't a For Sale post, so much as a Public Service Announcement!!!! I haunt the River oaks estate sales, looking for good deals..and this week they are moving a cache of goodies that includes a few oddities. There's two or three sets of Mercedes mag wheel /tire combos, three air bag steering wheel rims only, and even a pair of Porsche headlights. One of the wheels sets came off an AMG...pretty nice. You check 'em out, they have an 'ask" but as the weekend goes by, it becomes negotiable on some items, by end of day Monday they'll take an 'offer" if they are still there. It's right by Washington Ave. at Shepherd...on Center Street behind Molina's......there's a flourescent poster board sign on an otherwise nondescrept warehouse..... I'll try to build a link to some pictures....stand back.
Testing my computer SKILLZZZZ.... www.phillipsestatesales.com There.....that's the homepage, click on "pictures" to see them. I bought the composite ski poles, they are gone! I'm going back by as the sale goes on, to barter for the fish mounts.......probably won't get the hammerhead shark TOO BIG, but the barracuda will look great at the office! LOL! The tarpon is well done also..... Other normal stuff.....waterford crystal......books, art and dishes..there was an Enron ball cap.....
...Rice vs. Texas today at Reliant Stadium....since my Rice buds gave me ticket I guess i'll wear navy/white instead of burnt orange. I made 10X the $$$ AT Rice than I spent, in Austin Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Then, to go with the ski equipment, there's a few pretty nice ski parkas/jumpsuits. Good brands Descente, Obermeyer but most all of it is those BRIGHT flourescent colors..LOL! INSTANT flashback to the early eighties..Glen Plake in a mowhawk!! I kinda like to "blend in" on my tree runs, so I didn't get them... ..I might go back for the black/white Obermeyer...
The pros will tell you that 'blending in' on a tree run is NOT a good idea. If you get caught in a deep trough, nobody can see you. Ask me how I know.
Oh, I'm not that deep, I mainly like to pull off the run far enough to just sack out, enjoy the view, and have a nip off the pocket flask..... Yea, this gear is CRAZY colors.....all that bright fluorescent kind of makes you eyes hurt. I tried a few on and found two relatively sedate Obermeyers...like I don't already have closet full of little worn outerwear.
