Case trailer showed up on FB marketplace that was overpriced. It was an 1-1/2 away from me but a buddy's sister lived 15 minutes from the seller. I reached out to the seller and found the price negotiable. Next I texted my buddy in Toronto (an hour from me) and ask him if he wanted a 1/2 drive to see his sister. When he consented to drop what he was doing, a reasonable price was negotiated with the seller. 45 minutes later my Toronto buddy had paid for the cart and it was in his possession. 3 weeks later Toronto buddy delivered it to my house. In the mean time Gerry and I were texting about who really needs the cart. I have one already and don't need 2. This morning Gerry text wondering if he could come pick it up around 1. I suspected that he might bring Kelly but didn't tell Merri they were coming until the last minute. I see no reason to stress the wife with paranoia about how tidy the house is. On arrival, Gerry and Kelly got a walk about in the tractor garden in spite of 45 degree and rainy weather. After loading the trailer on Gerry's truck I invited them in for coffee and banana/applesauce bread.
In no time flat, Kelly and Merri hit it off as they are both of artistic bent.
I don't know who had the best time, Eugene and Gerry or Merri and Kelly.It was a great way to spend the afternoon getting to know each other and watching the wives make new friends.
Thanks for the friendship @RoamingGnome

(and the Banana/Applesauce bread was delicious)
