Does a Tonka Count?

[Lady Tonka]

Briana was nice enough not to laugh when I inquired about joining your forum with several counts against me: female-type person, long-time lurker on your Rural Living sub-forum only, and "tractor owner/operator" only in the sense of keeping my brother's 1961 toy Tonka when he got tired of it. (Although I am presently renting a full-size Bobcat to dig a small pond.)

So, if my life experience from growing up on a 110-acre farm outside Eugene, Oregon and teaching Master Gardener/Master Food Preserver classes can help any of the members here, I humbly ask to be part of your forum. I promise to write all my posts with my Tonka next to the computer, lol.

Please check my profile info for more about me -- and so how do I upload an avatar pic?

I agree. I love Tonka Toys. I have a Tonka Dump Truck. It's sitting out in the yard as an ornament, a long with a toy truck mounted excavator. These were both dumpster finds.

A friend gave us a Tonka Bicycle. I'm gonna fix it up for my sisters kid, if/when she adopts or has a kid of her own.

TONKA! OMG, I am sure I own at least 100 of them. Believe It!
My dream is to some day have a man cave of a workshop and
all around the top will be my Tonkas...

Welcome, Lady Tonka...as how to upload an avatar picture:

Go to "My Home" at the top of the page, then to "My Settings" then to "Edit Avatar" and that should permit you to upload the photo. Good luck !!!

[Lady Tonka]

Thanks for the welcome! Although my Tonka tractor has great sentimental value and I wouldn't dream of parting with it, I could go for these, if only to annoy my cats:

Jeez....you would think an ADMINISTRATOR of TBN would at least have a Tonka...but I guess they don't need to have any tractor at all.....:laughing: sorry Briana I could not resist that one.

No need to think you have any counts against you. I have been here a long time and the forum has always welcomed everyone. Welcome!

Haha, well not all of us are so fortunate. :confused3: Don't worry, I'm fully convinced that one day I will own one and I'll know exactly what to buy and how to maintain it. All this is is prep time, buddy...

In fact, my education shows. The other day I was driving along in sunny California when I noticed an old tractor running along a local field and squinted, "Is that an Allis Chalmer?" The body lines look like an AC." You never know when you'll need to know details about tractors. Who knows, I might save a life by suggesting that someone buy an ROPS. Now I know... all thanks to TBN.

Yep Lady Tonka, you qualify.

Welcome aboard. Best wishes.

Welcome Lady T. from Sunny -err maybe not so much - Florida. I would have said hello earlier, but the one thing that really doesn't like stormy weather is my $@$# Internet Satellite service. My mini-horse isn't too thrilled about the weather either, but the ducks seem to think it's okay.:confused2:
