My neighbor came over Friday evening for some beer and to chat. After an hour or so of BS, he asked my plans for Saturday, which I didn't have any until Saturday evening. He asked if I could bring my tractor over to his place for some light clean up work. Typical work that needs to be done before winter. He told me that he as a small pile of dirt that he needs spread out, a small pile of manure to dump over the side of a hill, load a dead hot tub into his dump trailer, etc. Nothing major, and shouldn't take too long.
I agreed to help mid-morning. "I'll text ya when I'm ready to come over."
Saturday morning came, I texted him "I'm ready, just need to put the forks on, should take me a few minutes. I'm on my way."
I had the forks on and the bucket on the forks. Waiting for a response, I decided to clean the windows... still waiting for a response, I vacuumed out the cab... then wiped down the plastic and knobs... then checked the air pressure in the tires... blew out the filters... greased everything (again).... checked the coolant for temp range... no response.
About 2pm, I texted him again, no response. I texted his wife and she said that he left town for the day. WTF?!?!
Maybe it was some sort of emergency, maybe it was forgetfulness, maybe it was... something? I don't know. But I did get a greased and cleaned tractor out the deal.
Anyway, that's what I did on my LS tractor.
