I, too, share your pain, as I am in a long-distance relationship with my Kubota. She lives 130 miles away, and I'll have to wait till Saturday morning to see her...

Oh to be so close to Orange. Mine is at the cabin in Montana, and I'm stuck down here in CA. I've been looking for projects around the house for the tractor, so I could haul it down for the winter. But my lawn would be done in about 6 passes, so I'd have to warm up longer than I mow. I think I need to add on, and the backhoe we are building will certainly help. For now I settle for more forum time than tractor time.

Gee, listening to you guys I don't feel so silly wanting to be on my baby all the time. Thought I was the weird one...

What a let down today!!! I was going to put some hours in tommorrow toward break in before I tackle the clearcut. It's raining like a cow on a flat rock where she is (she too is 130 miles away). Can't get to her for 10-12 days. May need counseling. Dog is danger (will wear soft shoes). Only kid left in the house may have to leave for a while. Mom is the only one safe (I know better than to mess with her, the last time I did it didn't work out to well)

GS,

How did you know that "lite", Miller Lite was the current adult beverage of choice?

Well I just couldn't stand it. I had to call the dealer this afternoon. They said the baby was fine, all fluids were done and the bent tie rod was reformed and on the straight and narrow. The only cost was $55 for the labor on the removal and straightening of the tie rod.

They said the baby would be home in the AM. I unfortunately found out tonight that I have to go to Columbia in AM to work on a strange server problem.

The weekend is coming, the weekend is coming. Ohmm padmanee ohmm. If y'all listen real close maybe you will hear me chanting to keep calm while I wait. :)

Be one with the Orange,

Don:

I hope we don't find ot that you have been hanging out in airports. Wearing orange bed sheets and trying to sell Kubota hats.

Russ,

Not me! The last time I saw the bed sheet guys was at the Miami airport. I made a detour around those guys.

My baby is back! Life is wonderful, except that there is thunder and some showers. I have an aversion to sitting on a tractor when the thunder booms.

My withdrawal symptoms have abated. I am feeling more at peace with the world. :)

I wish to thank all that were "feeling my pain".

The second childhood continues. I will get to play in my big sand box again. :)

Mine is suppose to be here in the morning. Seems they were short a delivery truck today. Hope they aren't kidding. Should have a nice new disc attached to it when it gets here. Maybe even the landscapre rake as well, although they weren't sure it would get here today.

Hope your weather clears. Normal evening t-storms going on outside right now. Should make tomorrow morning pleasent.

GS

Just hang in there I sent mine back to get the FEL installed and it just about killed me...wife thinks I'm completely nuts over this tractor...I think she's getting jealous....she may be in trouble here...lol.

Have a great day and be safe
