If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

Finally got 2 bids, sitting at $1050 with 7 days left. I expect it will attract more bids, but who knows, it could be a bargain. For those interested, if you go into the main auction, lots of reloading supplies to include primers.
