Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter October 20, 2024

I have a peculiar habit as a college football fan this season. I get so wrapped up in the games of my alma mater that I have taken to not watching them live on purpose. Because the SC Gamecocks are playing top 20 teams every week lately it’s easier for me to go to the warehouse for a few hours on a Saturday and work. Then I peek at the score about every hour. When I see it’s in the 4th quarter and they are up big (sorry Oklahoma) then I can pull up the game and finish it live. I do go back and watch the whole game on replay if it’s a win. 🙂

The bonus yesterday was that my daughter Sophia came out to the shop to help take pictures. She is home for one more week doing online college classes until they return to the NC mountains on Sunday Oct 27 to resume in person classes. Her school, Warren Wilson College in Swannona was in the crosshairs of Hurricane Helene sitting just 15 minutes east of Asheville. So we are truly happy that she gets to return later this month instead of being online only which would be a disaster for all of us.

I will get a little more help from my daughter on Tuesday and Thursday of next week. She did a good job taking pictures yesterday. That matrix I showed you guys Friday got a tiny bit smaller this weekend.

On eBay I have 137 live auctions running featuring OA, camp patches ans SAPs. Yesterday I processed and photographed a box of event patches. I am trying something new this time around by creating lots by council rather than listing everything individually.
