And now for something completely different.
On October 4th of this year a pickup truck towing a large trailer showed up on my lane and as I live at the end of a dead end road I thought Yup another one took the wrong turn and lots o luck turning that thing around.
Well this fellow jigged that thing about untill he was able to back onto my driveway to turn around but he keeps backing up and I thought ok so now he wants directions and I go out to talk to him.
He says "is this the right place"? I say "well that would depend, it's the right place for me but I don't know what your doing here." He says " well I was told to drop something off here" I say" What?" He Crookes his thumb and points at the trailer and says" That. I look at the trailer and it has a tractor on it, an orange tractor no less. I say " No I don't think so" he says " well I was told to drop it off here" as he's getting out of the truck. Then he starts to undo the hold down straps and I say " Look Buddie what part of I didn't order a tractor and it don't belong here don't you get? He keeps un doing straps. Then he pulls out the ramps and "I say would you quit that" and he says "I can't get the tractor off of the trailer with out them" and then he ignores me. I'm getting ready to deck him.
He gets onto the tractor and fires it up and says "Nice dogs" I say"to **** with the dogs" he backs the tractor off of the trailer. I'm getting mad and he says "well it's pretty late in the season so would you like me to give you a hand taking the mower off?" I say "NO, just load it back up and get out of here, somebody else is waiting for this".
Then he walks on over to where I was standing with a big smile and says "Yup she was right, you wouldn't have a clue and would argue a blue streak"
I say "WHO" and he says"Your wife" and I say "what has my wife got to do with this?" and he says" well she bought it for you, something to do with your birthday" and I say "Bullsh*t my birthday was last month" and he says"I know, it was all part of the plan so that you wouldn't get wise to it" Then to remove all doubt he perfectly described my wife.
Then as he was about to drive away he says"have fun and don't be too hard on her, she loves yuh man and she was tired of watching you kill yourself with that walk behind blower in the winter and walk behind mower in the summer plus tilling the garden".
When my wife got home from town (her shopping trip had also been part of the plan) she walked in the door and "said Happy Unbirthday Babes" I didn't know whether to kill her or to kiss her, in the end I did the latter.
And that is how I got my Kubota Bx2350 with a fel, mmm, Buhler 500 snow blower and a buhler tiller.
It now has 200 loving hours on the clock.
There are good ones out there, I was just lucky to find one.
