What a week.

Plowed some. Worked in the shop some. Talked on and off with my equipment people from South Texas.

On Thursday I received a call from my man. He was at a convenience store in Roscoe. Here to pick up a truck and three trailers.

I have battled with myself for over a week, about how to "deal" with these people. They were going to pay for all the trailers, but were only going to pay for half the truck, asking for sixty days to pay the balance of the truck.

As the week progressed, these people had the money to wire, and then they didn't, then they would come Monday. My stance was simple. No money no equipment. Thursday night, my friend from deep South Texas stayed at a friends house in Roscoe.

Friday they came to the shop and sat around. My phone rang and Pam told me that due to a mess up, they were $5000 short on the initial wire. What did I want to do?

I thought about it, and told her, I will keep one trailer here. Then the negotiating began. Her wanting to give me a deposit for the third trailer, the balance due by next Friday.

The way things finally worked, Pam made a deposit on the third trailer, paid a portion of the truck, while paying the other two trailers off totally. Long story short. I ended up with enough money that, if you spread it around, every piece of equipment they took with them would be paid for.

Two minutes before three the wire hit my account. And the transfer of equipment began.

Crazy. They did call me Saturday and told me they made the trip with no problem. Now they want to come back to get the third trailer and pick up two more trucks, the black Explorer and possibly some 484 cotton strippers.

Wow, if this could happen there are already two wires coming this coming week and beyond, then these new pieces could come into play.

My old college friend came in yesterday to do the appraisal on Pepa's estate. We worked, and we visited. It was a good day. Memama treated us like Kings. Bacon, Eggs, and biscuits for breakfast and chicken fried steak for lunch.

Yum!

It had been four or five years since I had last seen him. It was a good day!

When we were in college Freddy lived in room 233, our friend in 234 and I lived in 235.

Memama seemed to really enjoy having a purpose.

Let's see. Buckaroos won big. Shallowater won big. Mustangs won. Roscoe lost.

And west texas football is underway.

Why is it the people you expect the most from usually deliver the least. (Unless we are talking disappointment, then they are tops).

FATHER, let YOUR glory fill the earth.
