Default Not a Dream

Now I know upfront this sounds like an Internet fable however every word is true. I have an elderly uncle who is a very successful retired farmer. He was at my farm today for a rare visit and we walked down to my shop to look at my restored 53 ford jubilee and 56 John Deere 60(he is a voracious antique tractor restorer/collector) and he spots my 127 in a gazillion pieces on the shop floor. "oh, is that a cub cadet?" he casually inquired. "Yep,"says I lol "making a puller replica for Henry"( my great nephew).follow me as this is somewhat convoluted I realize. My uncle then proceeds to tell me that he has two very nice cub cadets in the back room of his shop/showroom and would I like to have them. Uhhhh yeaaaa!!!! "What are they and how much?" . He casually but silently saunters approvingly around my jubilee for what must have been a couple of minutes and then seemingly out of the blue spouts a" 124 and a 125. All you have to do is come get them."Needless to say I'm clearing my schedule Monday evening to retrieve them. Now, I realize this is certainly no monetary windfall but the sheer unexpectedness nearly makes me giggle.
