Truthful Tuesday

 

Oh man. Guys. Here I was all proud of myself for being super organized ahead of the horses coming home... But I forgot to check on the Gator! Poor Gus. I went to make sure he had fuel only to discover two flat tires and a dead battery. Oops. 

Now to be honest, I don't take the best care of the Gator. He doesn't have a hard job (mostly just brings poop buckets back and forth to the dumpster, and drags the ring once or twice a week). So I'm not always that good at remembering to get him serviced. He's a good worker, he does is thing. If a light goes on or he stops working I get him tended to. 

Fortunately, I was able to get him picked up yesterday and hopefully he'll be all patched up with new tires, a new battery, and fresh oil by the weekend. And if not? Well, I guess I'll figure that out when the time comes. At least I noticed BEFORE the horses actually got here? Right?

    1. Right? And they called today to say it will be back Friday afternoon. Perfect!

  2. If I were responsible for maintaining our ranger or lawn mower, they would be in constant disrepair. I'm glad you realized Gus was needing some attention before the horses came home. When is moving day?

    1. I'm not sure why I hate having to buy tires so much... But I really do.

    1. Are you laughing at how ridiculous the little gator looks on that huge flatbed? Cause I do every time I see it.
