I close the windows in the morning when I get up to trap that coolness of the night air. Still only going to get a little over 80 degrees today - not hot enough to warrant the A/C. I moved Svaldifari to the courtyard in a position that he couldn't be seen from the road but easily noticed to anyone driving all the way in. John Deere said they would pick him up first thing in the morning. I said I might not be around but that the tractor would be outside w/ the keys and they said that was fine. I picked up Friend Nancy for breakfast in Churchville and then did some shopping (including groceries). I got back home around 11:30 and Svaldifari was still in the same position I'd left him. Big Sigh. Would have to call and see what the hang-up was. I hadn't put away the groceries before a truck pulling a trailer came in to pick up Svaldilfari . I showed the young man the oil slick. He checked the oil in the machine stating there was still enough to safely start it up and move it onto the ramp. I told the man if what needed to be done was under a certain cost amount they didn't need to get my approval - just fix it. The man thought Svaldilfari was a 2017 model and maybe I should look into getting a new one. He didn't realize Svaldilfari is over 10 years older than that. (It's the clean living - stays in a heated garage out of sunlight and gets yearly maintenance by the dealership.) I haven't received a call yet from John Deere. Either means it was just leakage through the seals which is a minor fix -or- no one has gotten around to figure out what's wrong w/ him. The sun is shining straight through my bedroom window before it sets behind the ski hill. Time to open up the windows.
