Blasted new phone. I'm in a meeting and it's going off. How do I shut this off? Who's calling me from California? Must be another tool salesman. I'll check it later.
Later:
"You have one new message. Touch 1 to hear new messages"
"This is Joe Robertson with Topcon Precision Ag. I'm calling about a prize drawing you won at a recent farm show. Please call me at ......"
Great, I've won a new hat. Oh Well ...
{ring ring}
"Hello this is Joe Robertson"
"Yes Joe, this is Mike Bumpus. I was in a meeting and you left a message on my voicemail."
"Yes Mr. Bumpus. You signed up at our display at the Louisville Farm Show and won out Grand Prize, a Topcon 350."
OK, so I'm thinking this might be more than a hat. Then he says, "We'll send this to our dealer, Altorpher in Clinton, Illinois, who will arrange for the installation."
I'm getting the idea this is more than a new hat. I thanked him, said I had to get back in my meeting, exchanged some info and pleasantries and hung up. Later I called Becky.
"Hey! Look up Topcon 350. I just got a call from a guy that says I won one at Louisville."
"... Dad ... this is a lot of stuff. It has a box that goes on top of the cab and a display and ... you WON this?."
And I found a Youtube video
You know, this might amount to something.
