Ha! What a question to ask me!

Well… my tractor is toast. Wayne got into it and found — of all things! — an old inner tube holding the gear case together. Ok, ok — the front half of the tractor is good, the back half is crippled. Not even safe. Wayne wouldn’t even fix it for me to drive because it just isn’t safe. Brakes can be fixed, but they won’t stay fixed. He knows someone with a tractor very like mine which has front end troubles. Maybe he can get that to fix mine with.

Uh, nope. The tractor Wayne knew of belonged to that guy’s dad and he won’t part with it. Solution? I sold him my tractor. Now I’m tractor-less. Good Bushhog. Good blade. Okay finish mower. No PTO. So, I’m looking for a tractor. Just have to use the mowers and weedeater I have for the time being.

Then my Lincoln starts doing ‘stuff.’ Take it to the dealer and they can’t replicate the problem. Meaning, too bad, too sad. It is the transmission acting screwy. And the electronics. Best news I’ve had in weeks!

Why? Now I have a real excuse to get the truck I want. And I did. Traded the truck and the Lincoln on a new Ram 2500. Just brought it home Tuesday. Am I a happy camper? YES!!! 🙂

Thought I was going to buy the land from BJ and Jeff… not sure about that. Still in the “I gotta figure this out” stage. I LOVE everything about it. Except trying to figure out how I’m going to get it.

And that’s only been the last 2 weeks.

Oh, yeah… did I mention the 2nd phone directory is out and I’ve been trying to finish the Alleghany Co directory?

And Robbie finally told Granny he’s moving to Idaho?

And Robbie will be leaving for Idaho – most likely next Monday?

And my 2nd decorating class (fondant) started last Monday? We have HOMEWORK for next Monday.

And the BEST NEWS??? I’ve lost 17 pounds since February 23! One month – 17 pounds down. At this rate, by the time ‘real’ warm weather shows up, I will be able to wear my nice clothes from 5 years ago.

Not too bad for just 14 days in March.
