    One windy day back in the fall, I had money from a delivery sitting on the seat of my dump truck. No idea why I didn’t put it in my pocket right away. I get back to the wood yard to load up another cord and a guy pulls in so I go over to chat. I left my truck running and the door open totally forgetting about the cash. A minute or two later I return to see money all over the seat and ground. I quickly gather it up and realize I am missing $70. I spent another 10-15 minutes looking around and don’t find either. Today while driving the tractor over a large area of bark and splitter debris, I look down and there’s a $50 just sitting there. Guess I had the luck of the Irish with me today. Too bad the Grant didn’t turn into a Benjamin over the winter!

    Well, you wrote it off already. So most of it came back to you.
