Default A good barter

I went over to a friend's house to rewire her thermostat due to the wire
being shorted within the wall. It was snagged on something so I could
not fish a new wire through. I had to drill a hole in the floor.

So It would not show, we moved the piano and put the wire behind it.


There was a painting she did many years ago that had fallen down behind
it that she forgot all about. I told her that it would be "plenty good"
payment for my work.

Not only did I get an original paining, she gave me her father's WW-II
Navy Bell!

That looks like a very old bell,
