[rmaynard 15,443]

For anyone interested, the Mrs. Bob cookie bars just came out of the oven.

Well, a lot can happen between taking the bars out of the oven and getting back to loading the trailer.

The Commando 8 got away from me, and flipped. Landed on my right ankle. Not going to post a picture of that, but at least it is not broken, just badly bruised.

Hopefully all will be okay after I ice it for awhile.

Man,  Bob glad you're ok.

[squonk 41,081]

All along I thought Ezra was a she.....

The original owner of "Ezra" named him after the Secretary of Transportation under President Eisenhower to show you how old this guy I bought it from was.

[rmaynard 15,443]

I'm glad it was the Commando and not the B-100. I hobbled out and got a few more pictures.

This one is not coming to the show.

could have been WAY WORSE! Thank goodness your not in the back of a van with the red lights flashing! 

[Martin 2,132]

Im glad your ok too, Bob.

Ive come close a few times with the stick tractors. never gone over though. easily done, lots of stuff to get done, the easiest should be to get them on the trailer, but having come close in the past i really take my time now.

Hope your ankle doesn't give you trouble. Bet that shook you up a bit, hey?

[shorts 182]

Glad to here you're ok sort of, the iron can always be repaired or replaced, not always so with us. take care of that ankle.

[rmaynard 15,443]

Sitting in Urgent Care now just to be sure. Wouldn't want to have to ride a red tractor around all weekend because I couldn't walk. LOL [emoji2]

So sorry to hear that Bob, and hope you're just fine.

[whtractors24 3,116]

Good luck Bob may I ask how did you manage to flip it on that grade of the gate?

[limited12 360]

Hope your ok Bob

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330]

Sorry Bob about the tractor. Hope you are good to go. 

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330]

We are all loaded up and ready to roll.

I was going up in 1st gear and didn't have the momentum to get over the hinge. Without thinking, I pushed the clutch in to let it drift back to get a better run at it and my foot slipped off the clutch just as the back wheels hit pavement, front end came up and I went a$$ over backward.

Ah man Bob. I know that hurts. I christened my new redo already so I know how you feel. Hope the ankle is OK and hope to meet you at the show.

I am bringing my buffer to the show.... Maybe I can open up a tractor detail business...   

[AMC RULES 37,130]

Always better to walk them in reverse up the ramps.   

Hoping all it takes is ice to speed your ankle healing Bob.

I'll be there. No major damage to the ankle, but we had to shoot the horse. Just look for the guy with his right ankle twice the size of his left.

Glad you're gonna be O K, Bob. I'm sure you'll be in good hands with all your buddies there. Enjoy the show!

[Ken B 3,164]

Great news you are going to be okay Bob. Thank God you didn't hit your head.

[rmaynard 15,443]

Well, I am all loaded up for the first trip. Got the B-100, 857, and 701 and two "for sale" Lawn Rangers. Two red canopies, my tent, some chairs, and a couple pieces of firewood for the campfire round out this load.

 

Everything else can wait for trip number two later tomorrow.

[Ed Kennell 38,162]

Wow... Just saw the pics of the wreck.  Glad your OK Bob and can still make the Show. Looks like that could have been much more serious.  Sorry you had to shoot the horse.  

 

Lets all learn from this and be extra careful when operating these machine this weekend..    

 

Hale and T-storms forecast here till 5AM.  Glad I only have a two hour drive and can wait till daylight.

 

 Safe trip to all.
