Oh yes, happy joy, wahooo!

Words alone cannot adequately describe the feeling you have when your first brand new tractor arrives. The anticipation, the telephone calls, the laying in bed reading the brochure. Then the day is upon you. The clock ticks, a car comes down the road, could it be? The sun is high at noon and flashbacks to being seven at Christmas inexplicably enter my head. Another vehicle sound nearing, is it, is it oh my, yes it is.

The machine appears like a shiny bright statue upon a trailer. The neighbor boy approaches close to the new wonder. Back away, I say. It is mine!

Oh look, it still has those tiny rubber nubs on the tires. The loader bucket glistens without any scratches. White and orange and black, hurry, unchain the beast. Allow it to dismount the confining trailer and prance in the field like a new colt. Nay, not a colt, but a powerful stallion. Go forth, the land awaits you. Dominate it with your strong hydraulics.

Wait for me! Let me sit upon the new deeply cushioned throne of horsepower. Oh the luxury of tilt-wheel. The sun reflecting from the white hood is too much. I must get sunglasses to enhance the cool factor. I peer out to my peers, looking upon me with admiration, envy, and yes, maybe even jealousy

They cheer me on, 都tart the engine let it roar. Four wheel drive shall master the mud. Ride the machine into the sunset of this glorious day. Look at him, he is king! And by the way, Happy Birthday son.

Doesn't every good man get the work done before bed? Of course I was out in the field until dark. Got the machine good and dirty, cottenwood fluff in all the front screens made it look it was frothing at the mouth.

Pictures - I decided that I will purchase a digital camera. Be patient.

One may correctly infer that I have a wierd life if I am typing at 01:40, truth is, I do not sleep much. Sometimes I do not sleep for days. About the only thing I can do in the middle of the night that will not wake my wife is to go upstairs and type.

As far as the prose goes, it was having a little fun with an otherwise useless liberal arts degree aquired long ago.

You said everything except, what kind of tractor did you buy.

Have you gone to the machine in the middle of the night just to take a look?
Or check on it first thing in the morning?


Great story, You should write some more, I'm sure you will have a following!

I do the same, I did it with my Cobra over there on the left. It's sold....gone... empty spot in the garage.
