xxxxThe verbiage for this page was lost in our recent server upgrade.... I think out of several thousand files and 7 years of being on the internet this is the only file I had not backed up.... if I really wanted to spend part of an afternoon I could call up my able web master and search a back archive they keep... humm.... I think I'd rather go golfing... Ha...!

xxxxThankfully I do have the original graphics, and a good recollection of what was said here. Back in the winter of 2001 the Whooptie still needed paint, BUT, more of a need was another computer for the cyber salvage yard biz I was piloting. A big auction sale-a-thon was needed.

xxxxThe wagon graphic to the left was on all our auction pages, along with a little note that we were having our annual nostalgia sale and proceeds would go to get that wagon painted once and for all. If, we had extra funds we would get a nice nifty laptop to help with the parts requests side of the biz.

xxxxMy pal Joe, hard working and equally as kind, was having a tizzy of a time with life in general.... and I really didn't put too much time in the decision: when the auctions closed we drove to the computer store that afternoon and bought a laptop. This emergency move kept me, Joe, and the business moving forward. The Whooptie keeps moving regardless of paint...!
