Farmer H had to rely on The Pony to rescue him this weekend at his SUS2.5 (Storage Unit Store 2.5). He could not access some of his merchandise. The most expensive/ dangerous/regulated merchandise that he sells, which is stored in safes for safety. They have a code on an electric keypad to gain entry. Farmer H said the keypads were not working. He's not sure if it's a battery issue with the keypad, or if he will have to call the safe manufacturer for repairs.
Anyhoo... these safes also work with good old-fashioned KEYS, so Farmer H called The Pony to come out and find two sets of keys to drive down to the SUS2.5. That was around 11:30. The Pony had to shower, and was still out here by noon, rounded up the sets of keys, and delivered them to Farmer H before noon:30. That was a nice thing for The Pony to do. I never would have found those keys, one set having been in the basement, where my knees don't allow me to go safely. Nor would I have likely been able to hobble across gravel to get to Farmer H's SUS2.5.
Anyhoo... I suppose the customer grew tired of waiting, because Farmer H said he bought a different model of such merchandise, but cheaper, which was in a locked case that was available at that moment. You never know with these customers. He will probably be back. When they find something they like, they usually return to buy it. It's a collector kind of issue.
Poor Pony! Didn't even get a thank-you from Farmer H! Who was on the phone with the regulating agency when The Pony dropped off the keys, finding out if another customer was approved for such a purchase. That's okay. The Pony knows Farmer H appreciates the effort, even though he might not say it in so many words.

1.05am and again I am unable to sleep. I had a keypad issue with my home safe, found they key and opened it to discover the batteries had corroded, so I removed them and found new ones, but couldn't remember how to reset my code, so I put the new batteries back in the pack and now just use the key.
I hope Farmer H gets his keypads working again and maybe remembers to thank The Pony at some point.
River,
I don't think Farmer H will want to haul these keys around. They look like the old-fashioned jail cell keys on the Andy Griffith Show! There are about six of them on each of the key rings. I don't know why so many! I don't think Farmer H has THAT MANY safes! They look heavy and awkward. Not something you can just put in a pocket and forget about. I don't think he'd want to leave them in the same place as the safes.
As for the Thank You, I'm not sure that will get remembered. The Pony knows, though, what Farmer H is like, and how he appreciates the effort.
