There's a TV program about folks who do this very thing...............RePo men.  Seen 'em get cars, big trucks, boats, airplanes, etc;  did they film the repossession of the mill?

Tom

You know in the past people paid for things in cash because that was the way things worked.

Modern times you use plastic and the credit card company takes you on as a partner in their " company town " - but they can pruv that you own it leastways as long as you send'em money every month.

Now not knowing this guy you gave all that cash to  . . . 
   . . . and you know how good them fancy 'puter guys are at faking titles and such . . .

Time to call the sheriff in !

You have all missed a critical bit of information.  Tom took after them in his new vehicle.  That was a clue!  Tom's wife decide that Tom was working too hard at milling and wanted him to have a real excuse to retire so she sold his mill and bought him a new play toy vehicle.  The Baker Boys were there to collect the mill to refurbish it for the buyer.  ;D

Baker now provides free transportation from job site to job site because people were complaining about the mills being to heavy behind a pickup truck

Tom,

I would check to make sure Jeff B is not in on this too.  Maybe we should take a look up at Jeff's place real soon.  It may have the snow covered lumps of two mills soon. :D :D :D :D

I believe Baker got a 'hint' as to how much you liked vivacious colors, are going to apply to your mill appropriately, with helpful compensation/hints from those unknown.

Then we got some supper and Tom told me he was here to get my sawmill. ......

Well, as it turns out, there's something going on. ..... 

It's turned cold and I sit here in goose bumps looking out my window at an empty front yard...... 

Earlier today, my sawmill was sitting out there. :-\

They prolly heard you tell about da cold, too cold ta even venture out let alone work, an when dey realized you weren't even nice enough to dat poor ole' mill ta tuck it inside dey came ta fetch back inside ta keep it warm fer ya till spring.  ;D

Ya best get ta makin' a warm spot fer it if they bring it back!  ;)

But at least spill da beans about da new pick-me-up truck......  ::)

Tom,
   Sory about the loss of your mill! :(  If you start going into withdrawals you can come saw on one of mine and get your "fix".

Isawlogs,  It's one that I was told was out of gas and forgot.   If it hadn't been for that horn going off, I may still be beside the road up there somewhere.   That rascal is all computer and doesn't tell you much until it feels you need to know.  :D  Besides, Ga. gas is cheaper than Fl. gas.  ;D

Radar, either a vacation or I've not been working hard enough.  I'm trying to retire again.  It might not be what she has in mind.  :D

You seem to be handling it well, Tom.  When I called to chat yesterday, Gael said you were at the neighbor's with your backhoe, doing some work. ::)  That was pretty shrewd of you.  You had apparently faked her out totally. ;D
