Hot, muggy, and gray skies today. They claim the haze is from the forest fires in Canada. Got munched on by mosquitos hooking the trailer this morning. News says they're Canadian mosquitos. Never really liked Canada, and I'm liking it even less.
Hauled the trailer up to Birch Run to pick up my new Deere. Signed the papers, put the ramp down on the trailer, and the dude brought it up from around back. Went through the features and operations with me and was about to ride it up the ramp until he noticed that the gas gauge in the electronic dash wasn't working. Oh, joy. He grabbed his head mechanic and started trouble shooting. No luck. Told me I could take it home and they'd call JD to find out what the problem could be. I told 'em to hold onto it until it was good to go. Got home, got Canadian mosquito bit taking the trailer back off. Got a call ten minutes later. It was the dude from JD. Turns out, it doesn't have a gas gauge. It's got a 2 gallon tank, and when you get down to .02 gallons, a red light comes on. Guy felt so bad, he told me he'd have the company deliver it. Came to the ranch about 15:00.
Old Hen loves it. Maybe she'll start cutting the lawn? Be still, o fickle heart!
