Maybe I'm out of place to say this--but I feel going to watch a football game (or baseball) a complete waste of money and time--with the prices they charge for seats and what you spent on gas getting to the stadium and back,you probably could have bought all 3 of those tractors,and had a nice ride going to get them--you could have taped the game on a VCR and watched them LOSE for free!..
I should talk though--if I had all the cash I spent going to concerts the past 20+ years I would be a lot better off today--but then I wouldn't have been able to meet so many of the performers I enjoy,and gotten to know them so well,and experience their talents--to each his own I guess...
But a guy can only have so many tractors and other toys,before they become a burden rather than a pleasure..they create friction with the better half,and I have known a few guys who got divorced because of their fondness for classic cars,tractors,and other "toys"...though I am single and have "spoiled" myself by buying pergaps too many toys and doing just what I want,I'll say this--I'd trade most of my tractors and other stuff to have a loving wife and a home,instead of living like a 53 year old teen!...a lot of guys envy me,but I'm not as lucky as they may think really...my tractors cant cook my dinner,nurse me when I'm sick,or give me support when the chips are down..
This morning I saw a ad on CL for a 700R4 tranny and transfer case for 100 bucks in a town 10 miles away--and my 85 Suburban needs a tranny--but I am in no condition to go yank it out myself right now,because on thursday I am going to have cataract surgery and I dont want to risk getting my eyes full of dirt (plus I have to start prepping with eye drops tomorrow)...FIGURES it would pop up THIS week,doesn't it??--always has to happen that way...you just can win,it seems..
