Deb C. As always, I am humbled by your desire to be a follower. Welcome and thank you.
Sale went well considering the economy. Dad got better prices for his tractors in 2001 and 2005. But, gas wasn't 3.69 a gal. either. Disposable income has dried up for most people. After his 5 tractors were sold, he was talking with a fella about buying a JD40. Whatever keeps him happy. At 94, he deserves to get what he wants. Sorry, didn't take very many pics. Too busy, if people couldn't find dad, they found me, with questions. But, with a lot of help, from neighbors and his John Deere cronies, we pulled it off. The last sale will be after he is gone and I'm NOT looking forward to that.
Looks like Isaac will be a contender, be nice if it dumped some rain on the parched areas. We are suppose to get rain the next couple of days and I need to mow. Been neglecting the meadow house lately because of going over to dad's. Did get the sweeper run today. Had dust devils as big as the cats. Pulled the weeds out front. Having toilet problems and need to buy a snake tomorrow. I have one but it is way too big to use on the john. Been thinking about just flushing down a stick of dynamite. But, decided against it. Was also thinking about building an outhouse over the septic tank lid but figured the smell would get me. It'll work out.
Later................
UPDATE........
Plumber showed up, snaked the sucker, put a new ball on it, $25. Done. We talked about an updated toilet. They have them now that have a compressed air tank and uses less water. As low as this house is, I am always concerned about the septic system. So, using less water is a win for me. Anybody out there in the blog-o-sphere know anything about them?
