Second to None
Today our trip to Kevin’s Garage in Fairfax was second to none.
The 1966 Cub-Lo-Boy blew the engine seal gasket. Yup oil all over. Last week the tractor was loaded on the implement trailer and we headed to Fairfax. It was not a job that people were waiting to take on.
The tractor got TLC that it would not have gotten anywhere else. Fixing what is apparent is perhaps what might have been done with anyone around our town. Going the extra mile and checking everything is what Kevin’s Garage does.
“Don’t have time to do it right, but always have time to do it over.” That is not the motto when Kevin and Kersten tackle the job. Yes . . . I also mentioned Kersten as she is right there to assist. Sweet.
I know the day wore Dennis out. Denise immediately unloaded the tractor and tucked it into the back garage. Before unhooking the trailer to its spot next to the garage, Dennis started the Sears rider and mowed and mulched grass and weeds where the trailer will be parked. Yup. Those traits more than make up for some of the smalls that he can and does pull. Tee Hee.
When I knew I had watched all and Dennis was safe in the patio porch, I went to the grocer’s. I cannot remember a time that my laundry basket was as full as it was today. I needed to buy laundry pods . . . there was not a single one here at Stauffer Avenue. I went on to Lewis Drug to pick up two prescriptions. While there I picked up a graduation card for an invite we got. No, we won’t attend the graduation in Granada, but we will remember grandson Ryan’s girlfriend’s son.
While I was at the grocer’s I picked up at the deli, Orange Chicken and JoJo potatoes for supper. A can of cranberries will top it off.
Our job jar doesn’t even have a burp left in it. A very satisfying feeling.
I think I am going to see if grab bars, as like the ones we put on the zero turn, can be put on the Cub. It’s a bit of a challenge for Dennis to get on and off of it.
With that I take my leave. ♥
