Good morning!!!!

2014-01-29, 1819 Surprisingly, she wasn't pissed at all...but that might be just to lull me into complacency. I'll sleep with one eye open tonight... Anyway, got delivered and I gave it a bit of a run on the road. This tractor has worked and not just something in a garage or pole barn. But, some wire-brushing here and there and a few cans of spray paint (Deere green, of course) and it'll look brand new. I won't worry about the bucket (loader or backhoe). They lose the paint pretty quickly anyway. The biggest surprise is how easy this tractor shifts. It's a Power-Reverser and the gear and range shifts are much easier and more positive then my 4400 is <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/files/rural-living/409205-good-morning-deere-4520001-jpg"/>

Nice Roy, good to hear that you don't have to sleep in your truck but yea, one eye open would be a wise idea.

Best of luck with her.

Haha, I was thinking of the green lady in the driveway but either one will fit.

Roy glad all went well. Nice tractor.

Nice tractor Roy. Don't turn the heat up too high when you are clearing your driveway. I've always heard it isn't good to sweat in the cold weather.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

now I knew you guys would have too much fun with this.

Officer Obie could have given you a medal for being so brave and honest on the telephone, but isn't very likely....

Man came in, said, "All rise!" We all stood up, and Obie stood up with the
Twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy pictures, and the judge walked in, sat
Down, with a seein' eye dog and he sat down. We sat down.

Obie looked at the seein' eye dog . . . then at the twenty-seven 8 x 10
Colored glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the
Back of each one . . . and looked at the seein' eye dog . . . and then at
The twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy pictures with the circles and arrows
And a paragraph on the back of each on and began to cry.

Because Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American
Blind justice, and there wasn't nothin' he could do about it, and the judge
Wasn't gonna look at the twenty-seven 8 by 10 colored glossy pictures with
The circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explainin'
What each one was, to be used as evidence against us.

He had to sit on the Group W bench along with the mother stabbers and father rapers.

My deceased brother could play and sing the whole tune as good as Arlo did it.

So I had to pay $50 and pick up the garbage in the snow, But that's not what I came here to talk about...

Roy,

Congrats on the new tractor, you definitely need the cab where you are.

At least he didn't buy the Pretty Pink Tractor

kyles getting ahead, that part came later. lol

 

[buckeyefarmer]

He did get the pink one.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

I was kind of hoping Roy's wife would hide that hat from him for not consulting SWMBA.

View attachment 409241 He did get the pink one.

marvelous! I hope Roy gets it enlarged and framed for his living room wall.
just shows that Roy doesn't have any gender issues...

tired yesterday, went to bed too early, and therefore up too early.
Can't wait until Roy wakes up and sees his TGIF treat.

last weekend in January. C'mon Spring.

25 right now...high today will be 32 and an inch or three (or four) of snow.

Buckeyefarmer...you are truly a wizard at Photoshop! That's great!!!!

Thanks for all the best wishes, guys! The 4400 is still here too. I'm going to try to get a "new and old" side by side picture this weekend

I'd like to thank Larro for giving us the words. I never knew all of it, lost it a ways in as he kept endless talking.
Pleasant babble...but real folk history
I never went to many concerts in the sixties and seventies and now wish I did. Could have made Woodstock and didn't,
somehow all those crowds of people went beyond my comfort level. I wish I had done more than study and work.
That was such an interesting time.
And also happy I never ingested anything as did many of my friends and fellow students.
Always wondered if I have a few more brain cells left because I didn't....

I love the news headline I saw yesterday, some guy touting "I dropped acid with Steve Jobs".
Ok. I had a beer with Wingspread.
Likely I got the better deal.
I wonder if Steve Jobs ever sat on a tractor.
Now there's something irrelevant to ponder.

I woke up at 3am thinking of french toast. Very strange.
So, I guess I should go make some. Eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and brown sugar. I think.
probably should skip the sugar.
