The Grocery Getter (Farm Style)

Today I was up in Aberdeen for classes.  I had to help out with the city wide jump rope competition this afternoon and then my plan was to get a few groceries and go home to the farm.  I accomplished my plan by getting groceries, and as I was loading the groceries into my car, Logan calls.  He says I need to stop at RadioShack to get him a little battery for his scale in the feeder tractor.  He tells me he has already called it in and all I have to do is stop and pick it up.  Ok.  So I drive out to RadioShack, pick up the battery and head home.  I get about 1/4 the way home and Logan calls again.  He says where are you at? I said well about half way in between Bath and Stratford.  All I hear is choice language on the other end of the phone.  I ask, well what do you need?  Well I needed you to stop at Butler Cat to get a part for the terragator.  I said well do you want me to turn around? Or I will be going up to Aberdeen tomorrow so I can get it then.  He was still mad that I was 1/4 the way home but he didn't want me to turn around.  So I kept going.  BUT TOMORROW, I get to stop at Butler Cat and get his special part.  Lucky me!!

Farm Girl Tip # 31: If you expect to go to town and get a few groceries and maybe run a few errands, your wrong.  You will be going to all of the farm/machine/electronic stores in town.  It's called being the grocery getter--farm style!
