formariz 11,987 #1 Posted May 10, 2021 So the wife took the shed over and commanded some of the RJ s for decoration. Now she started digging through all the corners in the property and as you would know it she finds more tractors. She approaches me today and asks “what’s with that tractor buried under all kinds of stuff in the other shed ?”. I think great now she’s finding them all and she’s going to give me the I am out of control speech. Surprisingly she did not. Instead directed me to clean it out and put it right in the front of house as an ornament. She is now going to also decorate around it. I can’t believe what is going on. 2 8 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff-C175 7,202 #2 Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Wow! Sounds like you got a keeper there! You need a 'hitchin post' to tie the tractor to. Preferably a big chain with a bullet proof lock because if I happen to be ridin' by, I might have to offer that some carrots to get into my van! By the way, that's a nice lookin' Ponderosa! I like the 'weathered wood' picket fence. Was that space an overflow parking area? Edited May 10, 2021 by Jeff-C175 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the 'weathered wood' picket fence. Was that space an overflow parking area? She was a little concerned if someone would steal it. I wanted to say don't worry if someone manages to take it they can have it, there are more, but decided not to. I am afraid where she may want another one next. Weathered look wont be for long. She is going to paint it .I park my van there on snow days otherwise I cannot get it out of driveway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,621 #4 Posted May 11, 2021 "losing it ( in a good way)" Well. Caz. I think you're right. But it's ok!!! Perhaps careful redistribution of the partially hidden herd is allowable given the potential for multiple displays? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 12,237 #7 Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Not wanting to spoil a good thing, but I'd look deeper to try to understand if there is a larger plan at work here. Are you being lulled into a state of false comfort? Edited May 11, 2021 by Handy Don 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coming in might get you into the garage before the doors are open! Had a steep slope drive at my last hacienda. It was a challenge sometimes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,987 #9 Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Forgot to tell you guys, but she also noticed the moldboard plow in the shed. She wanted to have it on the tractor. I tried but I could not remove the pin to change into the clevis hitch. Lets just say that she was really disappointed. 19 hours ago, SylvanLakeWH said: Perhaps a couple LV lights to make it "pop" at night.. Yeaph she already thought of that. I can see this becoming a project like the shed. 18 hours ago, Handy Don said: Not wanting to spoil a good thing, but I'd look deeper to try to understand if there is a larger plan at work here. Are you being lulled into a state of false comfort? All I know is that if someone told me one year ago that someday I would have tractors displayed around the property and one in front of house I would just say that they were out of their minds.

DennisThornton 4,769 #11 Posted May 11, 2021 Need a lot more info! How many years did it take? Methodology? How long do you think it will last? Will a "booster" be needed? What did you do to celebrate? Or are you still floating in the clouds? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until about one year ago she couldn't stand them. Methodology? I have not idea what so ever. Attrition? How long will it last? Probably for ever now that everyone has great compliments about them. People are stopping on the sidewalk taking photos of the place. Will a booster be needed? as a booster I may have to break down and give her the prize ones that she has been requesting. Celebrate? Never. I just go around on my tippy toes trying not to disturb things. Am I still floating in the clouds? Yes and more than ever I believe in the statement " Good things come to those who wait".

I just go around on my tippy toes trying not to disturb things I think that's a reasonable enough celebration in its own right. For some extra pizzazz you could possibly flail your arms a bit or maybe even add sparklers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
