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.
