This is just plain old silliness, but it reminds me of how thoughtful my bride has been over the past 24 years and to this day. She knows I read these boards several times a day, and she knows how I am looking forward to March when Thor Sr. (TC25D) arrives.
She sent away to the dealer to get this Ertl replica and had a nameplate made for it. (The plate was too big for the replica, so I made a quick base for it and attached the plate to the base before putting the replica on there. The in-laws were indignant at my heading to the shop on Christmas morning, but they ate a lot while they were here - I figure we're even.) Now I have something to look at each day (good heavens - I hope no one walks into my office while I'm turning the steering wheel and making vroom vroom noises under my breath!) and anticipate that magic day.
Am I nuts? Anybody else here get this caught up in the purchase, wait, delivery, and USE of their tractor? I'd expect the Oranges to be more likely to admit to such insanity, they seem like more the "wild and crazy" types, and the Blues seem more sedate and stately. Could be wrong though.
Life is good,
Jim
