Good evening Neil! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Or maybe it's morning in your neck of the woods /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif I can never keep the time differences straight, but since I'm not planning on getting down there anytime in the future, I guess I don't need to worry about it! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Anyway, thanks for checking up on me! Bob (Rancar) mentioned in the "Related Topics" forum that you were looking for me. Well, I haven't disappeared, quit, or even given up. I think my last real regular participation was last November right after we got back from our 3 week "walkabout"! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Shortly after we got back, our computer got infected with one of those viruses that were showing up. It took me a couple of weeks to get things remedied. By that time, we were into the holidays, our son moved back with us until he leaves for the Navy in September, and things have just gone crazy! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif You know the feeling - The Hurrier I go, The Behinder I get! Add to that, that when I finally got back to visit a little, the whole site had changed! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I'm still trying to get used to it. I really like it - I just haven't figured out all the bells and whistles yet! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
Unfortunately I haven't been playing any golf - yet. The weather has not cooperated until this last weekend. And of course, that's the weekend that I was booked up all weekend and couldn't go. I do occassionally meet my other responsibilities at the expense of the golf game! But hey, I've already got 3 outings scheduled in the next 5 weeks, and for the middle of March into the middle of April, that's pretty darn good! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I'm still tractor shopping. That certainly hasn't changed. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I spent some time trying out a AGCO ST40 - <font color="blue"> on the COLDEST darn day of the year! </font> I've also found a Mahindra dealer within a decent drive, but haven't had a chance to get over there yet. I'm still impressed with the Kioti that I tested, but there's still time for other brands to win me over too! And I will always go back to see what <font color="green"> GREEN </font> and <font color="blue"> BLUE </font> can do for me. I'm also going to take another look at the new Kubotas. I don't think I've ever really given them a chance because I don't care for the local dealer. But since I'm willing to travel up to about an hour away, I figure I'll be able to find one no problem. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Actually, I think the hardest decision I'll have once I make my selection is if I should name the tractor FunBuggy II or something else. I don't know that the name Buggy would be appropriate. The Fun part of the name should be just fine though! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Well, I'm going to do a little catch up now. I don't know how long that might take! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif But it'll be fun! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Again, thanks for asking about me. It's a nice feeling to know that you're missed by other folks that you really like too! I'll try to visit a little more often than I have been. Although I have to be careful at work. We have a new IT director who scares the heck out of everybody. We're all starting to think we're in the sequel for Big Brother (the book 1984 for all you comic book fans! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif)
I'll check in later, mate! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
