| After being away nearly 15 years my wife and I are finally moving back to home which is Oakfield, NY. We have been living in the Chicago since 2003. I retired last year and bought a house in Oakfield last month. I have a bunch of stuff to move but here is a picture of the first heavy load the A and a 5020 We are leaving early Wednesday morning, so if you see us tomorrow on I-90 give us a honk!!!!! uploads/1520/100_1337.jpg" rel="nofollow - 100_1337.jpg |

Learned your lesson buddy, huh??? Good thing you got friends who managed to save the tractors and the shop when you moved!!!! ROFLMAO Glenn ------------- Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment. From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance. Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise. |

Thanks for the great comments and well wishes. I don't have internet service yet in Oakfield but I got connected today and wanted to tell you guys we had a safe trip and I used the 5020 to mow about 5 acres at my new place over the weekend. Yes I will be at the GOTO next year with the A and some others!!!!!!!! |

Brian, I hate to admit it but we liked the Chicago weather better. We lived west of the city and hardly ever got any lake effect snow storms. Also we got more sunshine than in Western New York. However my wife and I grew up in Western New York and we accept the weather, plus when you are retired you don't have to leave the house if the weather is horrible when you get up in the morning!!!!!!!!!!! |
