Описание: I went on a record run way north of Chicago, far up into the Michigan area, close to the border with Canada. There I found an astonishing stash of easily 100,000 old records. I'm sure some of them were worth a fortune.

Most of them were country records, but I did pull out about 500 interesting and rare records. One of them (sealed Country Outlaw record) sold for $100 on eBay!

I could not believe how freezing it was in this giant warehouse. The farmer was kind enough to turn on a jet-like heater so I could keep my toes from frostbite.

I did not want to leave the security of his warehouse, full of old tractors and tens of thousands of old shellac records too which he sold out from under me to a New York dealer that brought a giant truck in to haul them all off. It was one of the strangest (coldest and most fun) places I've been.

It's also one of those places I wish I could go back to now that I know more about record collecting and just buy every record he had and buy every old homemade recorded video tape he had (by the tens of thousands) stacked on shelves.

They were all recordings off of old TV, probably some rare football games recorded on there for the Green Bay Packers.

I didn't want to leave that building, but I had to pee every now and then. There was a fantastic old outhouse just south of the building in the middle of nowhere. A tree had grown up out of the poop that was surely left there over the last century. Luckily it was not summer so I did not have to take a stick and bang it around the inside of the toilet seat to knock off giant corn spiders that often lodged there, awaiting the unsuspecting prick.
