A woman scorned

Joe has taught me well.
I loaned my cherry picker out a few years back and will never get it back.
I been needing it a lot lately.
I saw one that was taken apart for $50.00
I went to look and it’s a very heavy well made cherry picker.
I bought it from a couple ladies.
After I paid her I heard her say I’m selling his boat and other tools next.
We’ll see how he likes that.
I loaded up and hauled tail and never looked back.

Do I hear a request for the Snowman?

I lost a friend a few years back. He was a tractor collector.
He told his wife what he thought the tractors were worth.
She could never sell them because she thought they were worth way more than they were.
She had me come over quite often to clean carbs and gas tanks to get some running but they wouldn’t sell.
I started working on the road and couldn’t get to them. She got very angry at me.
One day she called and asked why they wouldn’t sell?
I told her and told her to research what they were bringing.
She told me she’d never give them away for what they were bringing on line.
She auctioned them three different times and never sold a one. Owed commission every time.
I told Jenny to have an auction and let them do the work.

You’re right, should offer a few hundred less, probably has a Muncie 4 speed manual, much less desirable than the automatic.

Thad, is that the friend you told me about that went off the side of the road coming back from a show?  Seems I remember a couple of G's sitting out behind your shop. Has I mentioned, I wouldn't be too anxious to drive those roads of yours pulling a load....especially at night!

Yes that’s the guy.

my wife dont know half of what i got, let alone what anything is worth..... Guess i will have to wait it out !
