Tractor Porn

While cleaning up our “Piling Cabinet” (the gigantic pile of papers that sits ON TOP of the filing cabinet, in the “To be Filed” File) I came across the brochure for the 2210 tractor that we dreamed about so many months ago. It’s shiny. It has pictures. In full colour. It’s been sitting on the dining room table since yesterday, and every time we sit down to eat a meal we gaze longingly at it.

Our new used lawnmower has been just about as much of a saga as the snowblower was. I rode it for about 20 minutes last weekend, cut a bit of grass, and then the tire blew. Steve spent all week running back and forth to the John Deere dealership getting part after part, borrowing tools, to the tune of somewhere around $200.00 (and a lot of hours and miles on the car.) Saturday we finally get the tire all together and back on, and go to fire it up, and now it won’t go into gear. We have tried to no avail to get in tough with the guy who sold it to us, just wondering if maybe we’re not doing something right. So when the Tractor Porn showed up, we began dreaming again of owning a shiny new 2210.

In good news, my mom has a serious prospect for the greenhouse – someone who just may take the beast off her hands. My Mom said if she sold the greenhouse she’d buy us a tractor. She didn’t remember saying it the last time I reminded her! I’ll make sure she remembers when the time comes! Go Mom!!

In the meanitime we shall leave the Tractor porn in it’s place of honor on the dining room table to drool over. Hey, it’s important to have goals!!
