Inventor Rule 1: Your Work Above All

Wait, maybe I can convince Will to surrender his collection after all. But that only takes care of one person’s complaint, what would I do about the others. That’s it I’m not taking this ingenious creation apart. It’s best I run. Leave and start over somewhere no Sheriff Truly will never think to find me.

Yes, I’ve finally done. This has to be my best invention yet and all it took was a little lying. Ha, ha, I can’t believe they fell for it. Did Farmer Bob, Tucker, and Vicky really think they were going to get Will’s vintage baseball collections? Why would I need to trade now when all the work on my Mini Portal AC is done. Now this is going make me a lot of money. Cedar Tech Fest, here I come. And remember my fellow inventors place “ Your work above All!”

Cedar Key’s Tech Fest is in a few weeks and this year there’s a yearlong Engineering contract as the prize. That kind of experience under my belt would surely help to start a business. And this year I’ll be the victor because I have a winning idea. All I’ll need are tools and 2hours of free services from Tucker, an old blow dryer from Vicky, and broken-down tractor from Farmer Bob. But just what could I use as a trade. I bet Will still has his vintage baseball collection, I could always say I’ll trade them that.
