First, thank you for your service.
Second, loved the story. I don't understand what women don't get about us. I guess it's true "it's a guy thing!".
I have to say most fun thing is the actual buying of it. Cant beat the thrill of finalizing the deal and watching the dealer unload it off the truck. Anything after that is anti-climatic.
Most anything but especially maintaining my road, building tractor roads in the woods, and small scale logging.
