DUMMY, DUMMY, DUMMY

Hey Bob, your vandals were at my house a few months ago. They banged up my garage door and trim. Funny how the marks they made match the top of my ROPS. Almost like someone drove my tractor into the garage with the ROPS up. Will you back me up with my wife? She still thinks I did it.

Yeah, I'm still looking for the guy with a back blade very similar to mine. Left a nice dent in the garage door trim last year during snow season. Not sure why he came all the way out just for that and didn't even bother to clear the driveway for me /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

It feels better, knowing I'm not alone, and I guess they're not really lost, the tin snips are in my new building. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Jim, I had something very similar happen a few years ago. I spent the day cutting hay with the neighbor's old Oliver, and that evening discovered my wallet was missing from my hip pocket. I really got lucky; only spent about an hour and a half hunting for it before I found it, and like you, it was undamaged and not even anything missing from it. I really never expected to find it when I started hunting.

there is a hunk of 2x6 attached to the barn of mine, it sticks out (actually INTO the garage about 1 ' ) and I was leveling some gravel, I was close to the new siding/grage door when I dropped the bucket rather quickly so I could back up leveling some more gravel. well I think I was about 8" away from the garage door, and well the clearance was a little less than expected, needless to say my 2 week old garage door trim got slightly wrinkeled. as it turns out when you have ~6 16 penny nails holding a 2x6 on to the side of the 6x6 post the nails are the first thing to give when a downward motion is placed on the extended 2x6 /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif the lifting edge of the 2x6 met slight resistance when it met that shinny new trim /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I don't know how my garage floor got a 24" long gouge. I think someone borrowed my tractor and forgot to lift the rear blade high enough when he drove out the door! I wish I could find this guy.

I have a friend who hit some ice last winter in front of his garage with his wife's suv. He didn't have to tell his wife about it because he drove into the living room. $14,000 later everything was fixed. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

LOL, these are great .....

They remind me of the time I didn't back over a garden hoe in my F150 and split a sidewall wide open.

Or the time I wasn't backing out of that same driveway, about the same spot (hexed?) and I let my wheels go just a foot off the crushed rock and it was raining and I wasn't stuck tight and I didn't go back up into the woods 20' trying to get a running start out and my wife didn't helpfully suggest I get the tractor and I didn't ignore her suggestion for 20 more minutes so I could'nt play in the mud, and I didn't spew a stream of profanities that would make a sailor blush /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

( I didn't realise my tractor had a back seat?? )

I know where you can get one! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I don't know if anyone ever noticed the orange cones that the telephone companies put around their trucks everytime they stop when they are out on service calls. That is so they can have the people walk around the vehicle before leaving and make sure that all the equipment is stowed properly and not left behind. It is these little habits that can keep you from losing tools and equipment.
