OK so don't look at the pic yet ...
I have been telling my wife for 2 weeks that I ordered some weights for the back of my 2 1/2 week old GC1723E to help hold it down for the hill we live on. I told her it was a big box being shipped. I told her at one point it was several hundred pounds. We'll get back to that. I know it was about to ship so I said a few days ago it should arrive by this weekend. Note: It's the mid level Heavy Hitch with 480 pounds of suitcase weights and its actually being shipped to Fastenal.
I get home tonight, start to head to the workshop to get the tractor out to work on the yard before rain tomorrow, trying to get it graded and seeded. On the way out she says "Oh, you got a box upstairs." I figure that I know what it is (won't spoil the surprise....keep reading) and say, "Ok, thanks!"
I go out, work til dark, come in, say hello, go upstairs to main level, get the box, head back down the stairs and say "Yep, I really wish I had these tonight, they'd make it a lot easier!" as I am carrying the box into the room. She says, "Oh, is that your weights?"
I had to stop dead in my tracks. Recall, she brought the box in from the porch.
Now, let me say she's very smart, 4.0 grad from Georgia, CPA and CFP, made partner barely past 30, does both tax and audit work. But I am kind of wondering if she heard me tell her twice in the past 2 weeks that it was over 500 pounds coming.
I said, "Ah, no.....it's these."

You have to see the box now.
We then discussed how these would have been helpful tonight, and reminded her how heavy the weights are and that they are coming by a pallet, and then I went for a shower just kind of shaking my head.
