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!
