Tractor Returned

Linda left for Smith's Grove with Stacey this morning. They were going to clean up the pole barn at the trailer over there and then stay the night with Brent. I mowed the barn lot and down behind where the old house was including the creek bank. I went to town for lunch at the Corner and on the way back stopped at the hardware store to buy a couple of FOR SALE signs. Mike, that works at Brown's Hardware, made a call and told me to take the truck over to a car lot, that the owner might buy my truck. I drove over and let the guy take a look and he made me an offer of $6,000, which was $1,000 higher than the GM dealer had offered me on a trade. I told the guy that I thought I would try to sell it myself for a couple of weeks, so I went back to the hardware and bought the signs I was looking at earlier. I came home and put the signs on the truck and parked it down by the road. I went down to the mum patch and was checking to see how many of the mums were begining to grow after being dormant through the winter. As I expected, not many, so I will plow them under. I ended up crossing the road and helping Steve Riddle hook up his new bush hog to his tractor. He may have bought one that is bigger than he needs, his tractor front wheels nearly lift off the ground when he raises the bush hog up in back. He was a little worried about the weight of the bush hog and if the tractor would handle it. I came home and was inside when Cooter started barking, so I checked outside and there was a guy unloading my tractor. They had put a new hydraulic hose on it and serviced the tractor too. He didn't bring a bill, so I don't know how much G&G Tractors charged me. He left and I started the tractor and it runs a lot faster than it did before and just seems peppier. I went down the road and moved the dirt that Carl had asked me to level out by the mum patch. It took about a half hour to get it the way he wanted it done. After dark, Linda called and said there were two groups of people that had looked at the trailer that we have FOR SALE in Smith's Grove.
