At the beginning of the month my husband and I were looking at our finances. The biggest bills (farm ins, car ins, property tax) happen in spring and summer. We thought, whew, ok, we have a little breathing space here to maybe recuperate from All That.
Then, within two days, the blue tractor developed a big and very expensive problem in its front axle, and Husband’s truck (which is old but has only about 90,000 miles on it) developed an issue so serious that the mechanic just told us to bring it home and run it on the farm only until it dies. The smaller tractor, which Husband spent two months during the summer trying to get someone to fix, needed one more little tweak. We’ve been waiting on the mechanic to have time to do that last little thing for about a month. He’s finally here today. So maybe we’ll have ONE thing actually running?
I don’t know. We can’t cope with firewood and other farm chores without a truck. I just. Augh.
Tractor Repair Guy (picture a member of ZZ Top but in mechanic’s clothes) says “NOPE!” After poking around the thing he thought was the Last Problem, he believes there is something else wrong.
TRG asked Husband if he could use our bathroom, and of course that’s fine. Husband brought him inside. I’m at the other end of our not-very-big house, and on a different floor. I started hearing faint Noises. I ignored. The noises became louder and more distressing. I considered holding my hands over my ears. I have had my share of gastric distress and given birth twice, and I don’t know WHAT could have been going on down there. After approximately one (1) eternity, TRG went back outside and they are head-down in the guts of the tractor discussing parts again. I meanwhile, have tears rolling down my face. Shaking. Scream-laughing very quietly. help. help.
