I'm Back

It's been a while since my last post but i have been pretty busy.

I have all but 13 floppy disks added to my old computer.The year of 2000 was my biggest year,almost 1000 pictures and not done yet.

Yesterday i had the neighbor call and tell me a guy gave him 200 for his car and he would give me $160 for mine.I said to myself"screw that"so i got the idea of hauling it in myself.

Yesterday we got home a hour early so i went out to that old car and put a tire on it and hooked a chain onto the car and the loader and proceeded on going down the hill backwards.At the bottom of the hill a tree fell over and sure shit if the damn tractor didn't vier towards that tree and got hung up on it.Tracie and I pulled that out of the way then the damn tractor went right towards the rows of pine trees.I side swiped the pines and backed into a tree.There i sat,couldn't go forwards or backwards.Then i couldn't get the chain off.After a few bad words i got my splitting maul and did a little bending and finally i got the chain loose.I turned the tractor around and pulled it from the back up the hill.Got to the top of the hill and ran out of gas.Went to the corner and got more gas and decided to pull it backwards again.It pulled me to the left this time into my tarp shed.Ended up turning around and pulling from behind again.Got to the driveway and stopped.There was one lug nut that was stripped and i couldn't get it off so my splitting maul came back into action again.A few whacks and the lug and nut was gone. Got 2 decent tires on the back and Dad showed up to help me.After a few maneuverer's i got the car to go straight down the driveway and all of a sudden the front tire blew out on the tractor.Scared the hell out of me.Got to the edge of the driveway and the gravel road and the tractor wanted to dig big holes so dad pushed me back with the trailer into the ditch and then i was stuck in the snow so we had to hook a chain from the car to the trailer to pull me out.After 5 tries i finally got the car on the trailer,around 6:15.Michael and i went out back and loaded up alot of metal in my small wood trailer and on to the big trailer.

I increased my value from $160 to $282.Only cost me 20 to haul it up there.
