I'll get it started with one from my drone.

A vintage Skiroule, Scorpion or maybe a SnoJet sign would complete the look.   

I've seen them come up from time to time but ......big bucks. Not sure I'd feel safe putting up a $1500-2000 sign. I'm on a well traveled road and I've been ripped off several times already. I seen an Arctic Cat sign for $1000 a year ago and was tempted.

These signs are all $200-500 and the area is well lit. That's a camera in the middle. They help but if someone wants it, they'll take it.

Watching CDN and American pickers, you are not kidding! Personally, if I owned any, they would be hung on the inside, not the outside.

The prices are going through the roof for signs, especially gas and oil signs. Everyone with an old car wants peroid signs to hang on the walls of their garage or man cave.

The guy I bought the Pepsi signs from today said he's only buying Ford related signs now. He bought a 1940 Ford pick up. He wants signs, a gas station style air pump, an island light and visible gas pump. Big dollar items for sure.

I was at an auction last year. There was a "Ford Genuine Parts" sign in nice condition. I'm thinking, I'm a player on this up to $2000. Fucking this sold for $3200 plus fees and taxes. $4000 total. What an eye opener.

Yeah, it's crazy what these signs are going for. This covid thing has people buying/increasing prices on almost anything collectibles. Paying attention to ball and hockey cards as you know, I also see the same thing. Some prices have increased 600% to 800% in the last 4-5 months on star players, both old and modern.

I’ve been collecting old advertising stuff for over 40 years. I haven’t bought anything in a long time. When I see something nice the price is usually ridiculous. 
Mine is hung on the inside, don’t trust people around here...

I fucking hate that hose! Such a piece of crap that kinks all the time OR it won’t bend when you want it too.

We had those mostly last year or the previous year but there are still some around this year too. This year, for us, was an outbreak of Gypsy moths. Luckily we face the west as they weren't too horny about the wind but behind us at some of our friends places, they were everywhere!! Tons under branches and tons flying around everywhere as well. All started as caterpillars which reminded one of tent caterpillars then they changed to the moth. They are still recommending people to kill as many as they can including the bags/nests underneath the branches. https://www.intelligencer.ca/news/local-news/eastern-ontario-in-grip-of-worst-gypsy-moth-outbreak-in-30-years

I had a hard time paying what they want but Flexzilla garden hoses are the best I've seen.

Thanks I’ll have to check that out. My good hose is a Goodyear but it’s not long enough

Starting to see a little color on the stressed trees around the swampy areas.  The birches are also starting to turn yellow.

Yikes! Idid something similar to my right index finger as a kid. Mine was pinched between the chain and sprocket of my bicycle though. It grew back but it doesn't have as much sensitivity as my other digits though.
