Just watch for a woman with a LOT of new shoes. It would be her husband that is the proud new owner. ------------- If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done! |

Well, like alot of women, my wife wants horses. I don't want horses because I grew up with them................I remember feeding them them oats twice a day, making hay and straw, fencing, calling the vet, or hauling them to the vet, shooting them in the head, digging the hole to bury them, etc....................the wives don't consider all that. They just think they are pretty to look at. I've spent the last 3 winters doing nothing but remodeling our house and I like to think I've done a pretty good job. Considering that, I don't feel too bad about spending all of December restoring a D17, buying a WC for cheap, and picking up a D19 just because I wanted it........... ------------- ALLIS: B, WC, G, G, D10, D12, D14, D14(NF), D15, D17, D17(NF), D19, D21, D21 MINNEAPOLIS MOLINE: U, U, U(NF), GB JOHN DEERE: L FORD: 871 Select-O-Speed CASE: 600 Combine |

I can get my wife to pay for trips to look at what i want but i can't get her to spend any money on tractors. Oh well at least i don't have to buy her shoes.
My trade off is the time spent on the house. As long as i don't get kicked out i don't mind.
Don't tell her but i am planning to never completly finish the house. If i do she won't have a reason to keep me. ------------- The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend? |
