Gale got busy on cleaning out the garage and running errands. Maureen continued her work on the second floor of the house, emptying closets and cupboards. At 2 pm, we took a break and rolled out the Harley. The sun was shining and it was nearly 80°F – a great day for a motorcycle ride. We wanted to make sure the Harley was running properly, burn up some of the old gas in the tank and give it a bath at the carwash. Just before we got away, our neighbor, Denny Daly, stopped by and said he might be interested in buying the Jeep. We invited him to take it for a ride and call us later as we roared away on our 2-wheeled ride.
We took a tour around the lake and pulled into the car wash where Gale checked his messages. A man from Ames who had expressed interest in the Jeep yesterday, was on his way up to see it. He said he was 99% sure he was going to buy it and wanted the vehicle identification number to give to his insurance man. We drove back to the house to get the VIN and then returned to the car wash to clean the bike.
At 5:30 pm, the couple from Ames arrived, took the Jeep for a drive and offered us our full asking price. It was one of many bittersweet moments we will be experiencing throughout the coming month.
