You're all too late!  The aforementioned (and always lurking)Todd Hughes has
already swept in, got it for $50.00 and hauled away several pesky anvils the
lady kept stubbing her big toe on, charging her only $25.00 each to dispose of
the anvils.

Man … If I knew where this toolbox was, I might offer her $200 and drive away
with it right then and there, commenting for others to hear that I appreciated
her selling me one of her husband’s well made boxes .   Bill, you better get
that box soon.  Could be a very nice deal.

I got a call from Eric Mac-somebody Thursday evening.He said Mrs. Zook said I
should come and look at the toolbox.I suggested it was a little late, around
7:30, and maybe I could go the next day.Eric said Mrs. Zook said come now and
then he politely hung up!



While we continued talking, there was a commotion and some yelling from the
house.She stuck her head out the door and then turned, pulled my sleeve, and
told me I had to leave.She told me her /english/ friend would call me and she
nudged me out the door. She put the padlock on the door and took off towards the
house, yelling who knows what.As I drove home I realized I didn't get the
pictures I had hoped to get.I had hoped to sneak in a picture or two with my
phone.But knowing the Amish aversion to picture taking I didn't want to screw
the deal by possibly insulting Mrs. Zook.Oh well!I sure hope I get that call and
she doesn't change her mind, or get a better offer!
