Does a Tonka Count?

[Lady Tonka]

Briana was nice enough not to laugh when I inquired about joining your forum with several counts against me: female-type person, long-time lurker on your Rural Living sub-forum only, and "tractor owner/operator" only in the sense of keeping my brother's 1961 toy Tonka when he got tired of it. (Although I am presently renting a full-size Bobcat to dig a small pond.)

So, if my life experience from growing up on a 110-acre farm outside Eugene, Oregon and teaching Master Gardener/Master Food Preserver classes can help any of the members here, I humbly ask to be part of your forum. I promise to write all my posts with my Tonka next to the computer, lol.

Please check my profile info for more about me -- and so how do I upload an avatar pic?

I agree. I love Tonka Toys. I have a Tonka Dump Truck. It's sitting out in the yard as an ornament, a long with a toy truck mounted excavator. These were both dumpster finds.

A friend gave us a Tonka Bicycle. I'm gonna fix it up for my sisters kid, if/when she adopts or has a kid of her own.

My dream is to some day have a man cave of a workshop and
all around the top will be my Tonkas...

Welcome, Lady Tonka...as how to upload an avatar picture:

Go to "My Home" at the top of the page, then to "My Settings" then to "Edit Avatar" and that should permit you to upload the photo. Good luck !!!

Thanks for the welcome! Although my Tonka tractor has great sentimental value and I wouldn't dream of parting with it, I could go for these, if only to annoy my cats:
