<font color=blue>"...making any progress toward that tractor purchase?"</font color=blue>
Hi Bob!
Well, not really...but....maybe. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif Still looking real hard and still collecting lots of info.
If you recall, one reason that I was going to have to wait for 3 years was because we were planning on traveling for one year after I retire. Well, that may have changed. We may not do that, and if we don't, then I'll definitely be getting my tractor in under two years. The other factor was getting out from under the payments for our kids cars. Well, one of those is over in September and the other in October. I figure after putting away the "extra" money for awhile (gotta try to recoup some of those stock market loses!/w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif), I'll be in a little better shape to begin laying the groundwork for the purchase.
I try to be an optimist, and I keep telling myself that something will happen very soon that will allow me to buy now!

I've thought about that too! I figure that after it taking so long, and so many guys (like you /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif) being so supportive, I'd have to do something a little more unique than the average announcement that we see. For example, I thought maybe I'd just make a change to my signature and see how long it took for someone to notice. Or maybe just post a photo of the top 3 finalists and see if everyone could figure out which one I got.
Anyway, I'm always open to suggestions, and I probably have sufficient time to decide. I do know one thing, though. There are a few individuals that will know (and will be sworn to secrecy!) before I buy. These are the guys that I trust the most and will look to for advice in making my final decision. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
Thanks for checking in. I'm glad to hear you're having good luck with your 4710! I always look forward to seeing what you have to say about it!
