Odd Start to November

Hello; I agree with the last few comments of both pops and xraycer. I do think the buyer was the least amused of all, very likely somewhat pissed. As B.A. use to say "I was a baaad, bad boy.”Not a moment I am particularly proud of. Probably have a round of bad karma coming due.
I also have some coming from my comments at a piano concert a few weeks ago. I went to see the grandson of Floyd Cramer play piano at College Of The Cumberlands a few weeks back. On the drive up my friend and I were curious if the college kids would know who Floyd Cramer was. Before the concert started there were some college girls sitting in the row behind me. I turned and asked if they knew who he was. (Hint- Cramer was popular in the 1960's.)( Also it turned out the college kids were bribed by a professor too show up.) They said no. One went further and informed me she was not even born yet. I retorted "Yes, I can see that you don't look a day over 35." The friend next to her was amused at least. As she was clearly in her 20's I said " I am joking." She replied in an icy tone "I know." I guess that's two more folks who will not have me on their Christmas card list.
Before the buyer showed up we four conspirators; me, the second prankster, the seller and the seller’s wife did talk about the possibility of a projectile device becoming involved. I told them I would get behind the seller's wife in that case. I did stand next to her as the prank unfolded. I had to keep making adjustments as I suspect she was planning to get behind me. I also did not tell the buyer where I live.

Sounds like he was just trying to use you to see if his intentional buyer would cough up some more money. I'd be pissed too.
Early December last year, on my last mow for the year, aout 2/3 of the way through, it started to snow heavily. Of course, I kept going to finish up. I'm sure people driving by must of thought I was out of my mind.
I was remided why I have a German Shepard today..
I came home after a day at my grandparents house at roughly 9:45pm and the neighbors greeted our family as soon as we pulled in to our driveway, they Asked if our dogs were ok. They said our dogs had been barking so loud inside our house that they could hear them inside of their home and thought that there was a dog injured in the woods. I went inside and found our German Shepard glued to the back door barking and growling like I've never seen her do before. I let her out on the tie out to let her do her business and heard 4-5 voices and what sounded like a bowling ball trying to go through the underbrush. I went inside to tell my parents and went out with the poodle and again herd the bowling ball sound. I told my dad and then he went in to the woods and said he herd the same thing I did but didn't see any but the dog was fallowing a scent trial in the sounds vicinity.
