Happy days are here again!

Thanks to a free picture-ad service at Yesterday's Tractors, we sold this old Farmall M for $1,500.  It was the strangest thing, because the man never even talked to us on the phone.  All communication was done by e-mail, and he paid a friend $700 to haul it to Oklahoma for him.  We were paid in cash.  Although the Yesterday's Tractor ads are free, I will paypal a few bucks to them.

Also, today we received the money for Allis.  Cliff will deliver her sometime this coming week.

Oh, I am back on my very own wonderful computer now; my grandson Arick's friend, Lee, came by to fix it... but when I turned it on, it worked fine!  I really felt silly.  Lee told me that I need to clean the dust out of the inside of my computer about once a year.  I had never in my life opened a computer and looked inside, but today I did.  It appeared clean, but I took it to Cliff in the shop and he blew hundreds of dust bunnies out of there with his air compressor.  I don't know where all that gunk came from!  Lee said if there are smokers in a house, the cleaning needs to be done every six months.  I've learned something today.

That tractor in the photo is a classic! My huband has an old iron toy version of it from when he was a child. It's really heavy!

I know my computer at work needs cleaning, I've asked them about it, but they don't seem to want to do anything.  It's very dusty in there, I'm always dusting, I guess because the paper work and copy machines, printer etc are all right there.
I keep everything important backed up just in case It wants to quit. Glad you got yours back and working so soon!  'On Ya' - ma
