I saw the doctor yesterday and he says the nose is healing OK. I have to keep it greased with Vaseline or similar to help keep the joint between the skin graft and the rest of the nose pliable and not crusty. My next check-up \u00a0is October 1st.<\/p>\n
Tractor<\/strong>:<\/p>\n The 8N can now roll around again, thanks to a new ($374.00) rear tire.<\/p>\n New rear tire on the 8N<\/p><\/div>\n After the problems I had with trying to find a good used tire I decided to go new. The tire is on a used rim, as the original was rusted beyond use. I took the tractor for a spin – no brakes yet so utmost care is required – and took some yard and grass clippings down to a spot the town has designated as a dropping point for such items. Brake repair is next, but will have to wait for my next pay check.<\/p>\n Land Hunt<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Paperwork is progressing. There have been some small errors that have needed correcting. For example, the title company put the wrong purchase price on their forms. They had used the seller’s counter offer instead of our final offer. The credit union had double-entered one of our credit accounts, showing us with 2 cards and 2 balances instead of 1. That had to be fixed. Anyway, it looks like we are still “on” to close September 14. We are looking forward to it (let the finance circus be over)!<\/p>\n In the photo below, our lot is to the right of the primitive road break. Way back in the photo (middle-right) there is a pine tree, in front of the mountain, and our drive would go to the right of this tree. Photo was taken last February from the adjoining lot. There is\u00a0not a lot of snow for that time of the year.<\/p>\n Lot 174 is to the right of this break<\/p><\/div>\n Name for the lot<\/strong>:<\/p>\n How does “Serendipity at Sanderling” strike ya?<\/p>\n Around the house<\/strong>:<\/p>\n I was playing with my old Canon digital camera and took a few photos around the outside of the house. One morning it had rained and I decided to take some morning glory blossom shots. Here are a few results:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0207.jpg\" "\\"IMG_0207\\"")
