Something you want but can’t get or afford.

I'd love to have a clean 2008 F350 but can't justify the expense.

Trust me I'm not arguing. Everything under the hood and transmission is new (less than 30k miles) no rust.

Power locks and windows would be nice but we are getting by without it.

I'd just like something new for once.

Just make sure it’s not diesel. I had 3 of them. Unreliable as hell for my business needs.
No disrespect to Joel/ak, either.

Is the OP thinking like you wish you had anything?
Like eternal health, Peace with your Savior, Children that are happy/successful, etc.?

Or are we talking about material, inanimate objects?
IF we are,
I want a nice cab excavator, but all my spends go to keep the farm tractors, baler & trucks running. I might still be able to do it, but I have to make a really good deal on a used one.
It’ll keep me in the brush cutting and property maintenance business years after I can’t do that work by hand anymore.
On the smaller side, a Gator 6x4 with a Curtis cab.

Several paintings by Claude Monet. Really. I love 'em and have so since I first saw pictures of them over 50 years ago.

I’m glad I’ve never been a real art lover, there’s no way I would pay that kind of money for a painting, there is so many other things in life I would prefer to have

Yeah, I get it. I go to museums and look at the art and I just don't get it. Then I see something that affects me deeply. Can't explain it. I hafta be satisfied with prints. Not just paintings either, but all kinds of art. It's weird how something can just grab you.

No offense taken. The 6.4 is sketchy but an aftermarket long block and heads, bullet proofed, aftermarket radiator with new turbos and fuel pumps, also straight pipe all the way out the back helps. What i paid for it, it was way less then what the old owner put into it

When I started this thread I was thinking material things but not necessarily expensive things either.

Funny I was thinking of a Monet when I started this thread also. I’d be happy with one. We’ve got three of his over our bed, they are cheap prints though. I’ve seen one in person at the Biltmore. The one on the right is a Monet, I’m not sure about the one on the left.

I have a really nice small Monet in my home, but its just a cheap print, too

A 80 acre hunting property with a cabin, southern extreme end of the Appalachians.

I'm living in that. Darn deer grazing on my lawn.

Funny you mention deer, I was just out on my front porch watching the freezing rain, and out of the woods strolled 4 yearlings, stood on the edge of the woods for a few minutes, about 50 yards from me, so after a few minute I started talking to them, they looked at me, stood there for a few more minutes, and then took off to the north west across the field

Honestly, I get more joy out of my property than I would out of any painting
