Hello

Rowski · Jan 7, 2002

Well, I found some time. Actually I made sometime to let you all know things are GREAT here. Hope everyone had a happy and safe Holiday! Thanks for the concern Wheeldog, it is most appreciated. The big story is my baby boy, Nikolaus Aaron, born 11/28/01 weighing in at 8lbs. 12 oz. and 21 1/2 inches long. Everyone is very healthy but tired. Nikolaus is my first and it the most greatest thing ever, a lot of work but worth it all. I did get to play carpenter, electrician, and plumber finishing of my walk out basement, worth trying to do it my self. Saved a few coins and got some experience to boot. Haven't had much tractor time, actually none at all since the end of September. Finished our brook project using the rented tiller, I'll finish that post up later along with some pictures. Work has been really busy but snowplowing has been a little slow to start, got a lot of catching up to do to get to last years record of 571" of snow. But with no snow banks the wrecker stays busy.

This forum is the best!!!!

Is this the MarkC I know?

Didn't you read the washing care tag on your Kubota /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif, No bleach and low drier setting.

I'm sure there is a loong post somewhere explaining this.

Where you able to find the "white Kubota" under your recent snow?

MarkC, what do you call that new "tractor".

MChalkley · Jan 7, 2002

No, Derek, I switched tractors without explaining it to anybody this time. And if you believe that, you'll believe anything!

There's a few lines in the "Other Brands" forum, under the title "Goodbye Kubota, hello EarthForce" which describes what happened. Not that you have time to read it, of course... /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

That would be the understatement of the year./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hey Derek,

Good to have you back. Congratulations on the new addition to your family.

<font color=blue>Nikolaus is my first and it the most greatest thing ever, a lot of work but worth it all. </font color=blue>

He may be a lot of work, but at least you don't have to fight him for seat time on your NH (for a few years anyway).

Take care.
