Well, I have been rather busy. Just re-read the posts and thought, nah, youse all know I appreciate each and every post. No sense prattling on.
But, I would like to thank one special "person" for a most wonderful birthday surprise. The Holy Ghost (Spirit, these days, to be PC). On accounta, this is spooky!!...
When I knew I would soon need a full slice & dice on my left parotid gland, I placed a free advetisement at a reduced price for my 4 wheel ATV in the weekly "Supersaver" magazine on Nov 26. Yesterday afternoon, I got a call about it. This guy had just moved to New Brunswick a month ago and bought a small farm. He was looking for a real work bike. He is an older gent. My bike is a Bombardier Traxter... perfect fit.
No big deal eh? Well, here is the deal. I was sliced and diced on Dec 14. After six weeks of downtime, there was so much snow that I did not put my ad back in the Supersaver. The ads run for two weeks. The guy had just bought a Supersaver. My ad is in it. Computer glitch, perhaps? Needed to fill up otherwise blank space in their paper using old ads, perhaps? Whatever... I sold the bike!
So, it was a great Bday in many ways. Thanks again to all of you.
