No just pizza My other motto is It is easier to ask for forgivness that it is to ask for permission. Unless we are talking about my wife who's motto is You go that big and you will die.

Now.....Now Listen that is high quality scrap metal there. Problem is it just wasn't heavy enough. So that recycled keg (otherwise known as a redneck fuel tank) is filled with lead wheel weights. I figure that whole rig weighs about 1000 lbs. or so.

It will look better than economy real soon. I have a few cans of JD green left over from my last tractor. Soon as i get some time I'll pait it up real nice.

Now you have to understand my reasoning behind this. I live right in the middle of Lime Green country. Heck they even convinced a guy who has been sitting on top of a Long all his life to go Green. He just bought two of the things. My best friend is a dairy farmer and swears that it will be Green or nothing. I have been taking so much ribbing since I brought the tractor home. I have heard every joke you can think of. Including the fact that "they knew I was comming cause the smell of Curry was in the air"

So a couple of weeks ago I painted the 3pt hay spear I made JD green. Let me tell ya that did not go over good. Even better last weekend I stopped over my best friends house andd he told me that he was just about to call me. Seems his small JD loader that we use to put the round bales on the trailer at the field was broken . We wrap the bales at the farm, less damage to the wrap. He wanted to know if I would be willing to load the bales at the field. Had to borrow a QA bale spear for the front. Funny thing, 2 bales at a time the machine didn't even groan one bit All day long. Never herd on ethnic joke all day either.

Oh, I know all about the long-standing tradition, patriotic dedication and religious commitment to Lime Green up there in Maine. I remember doing some work up in potato country and the hot & heavy discussions we got into about tractors... Lime Green vs. any other machine (there is none according to them).

Frankly, after telling them that I drove a Mahindra Red machine, I consider myself lucky to have escaped from there with my life!!!

Oh don't I know. The only thing I messed up on last weekend is I forgot my camera. That would have been such a sweet poster.
