Nice Couple of Days
The last two days have been perfect weather here in south central KY, in
the lower 80s during the day with partly cloudy skies and mid 50s at
night. Linda has been working at the school this week. Jamison and Miles
have both showed up for school and the school has called Linda in to be
an aide. Linda had scheduled to have NAPA replace the shocks on the 1965
Mustang, so I drove it to the store and Linda drove the HHR. We dropped
the Mustang at NAPA and then Linda off at the school and then Stacey and
I were on our own. Back at the farm, I used the tractor to mow around
the mum patch and around the hay fields with Stacey following in the
Mule. As I was finishing, I noticed one of the chains and turnbuckle
that holds the implements attached to the three point hitch directly
behind the tractor had broke. We went back to the hay shed and I parked
the tractor and took the broken parts off. After NAPA called and said
they were done, we drove back to town to pick up the Mustang. Later we
picked Linda up at the school.
On Tuesday, Stacey and I took the
piece from the tractor to Grandview Welding and Equipment and showed
them the broken part. They gave me a replacement and didn't charge me. I
also bought a turn signal lens for the tractor to replace one I had
broken by driving too close to a tree. Back home, I replaced the chain
and turnbuckle and the turn signal lens on the tractor, then mowed the
slope in front of the house. Stacey and I went to town for lunch and
rented some DVDs, then returned to the farm. Linda came home for a short
time, then went back to town for a meeting at the CC Extension Office
concerning scholarship money to be given to graduating seniors. When she
came home we ordered a taco pizza from Pizza Hut for supper and I drove
to town and picked it up.
