Tractor Shortage?

Management seems to think that there are way too many old red tractors around here. :>(

The only logical solution I can think of is to move about half of 'em over to another farm and thereby giving the "appearance" of a tractor shortage?

I’m afraid if just one more shows up with the intent of living here, the local social envelope might be stretched beyond it’s up-to-now tested design limit. :>(

Either that, or perhaps I misunderstood and she simply meant that I should find a green one? Naw, couldn't be..... ...

Cammoflage, cover, and concealment is key. Don't skyline those beauties! Think OPSEC and the next time you get ready to take a picture and advertize their presence, remember "LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS."

Semper Fi,

Quite obviously, one of two things has happened.

Either your mother crawled out from underneath the porch and bit you on the leg or you're still frustrated because neither of you can figure out who your father was. Perhaps both.

Have another drink sonny and slip back underneith that rock where you came from.

I don't put up with smart-mouth and I don't put up with trolls.

Allan

If I can't go fetch it myself, can't afford to have it. :>(

Just like pollution, dilution is the solution.....

Mine are in several different buildings, and a couple on the west 40 behind a hill, and a couple in various pieces...

And now one single photograph can tip off the arrival of another tractor. As long as there's no one picture of all of them, you can always play along like a new one was there all the time, just not where it could be seen.

Keep 'em scattered and never let it be known exactly how many you have.

Me? Married, 39 years, 361 day, 21-1/2 hours. (but who's counting?) w/ either 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 tractors.

I mean, those damned horses eat way more than a tractor ever could. :>)

Allan

No, I think the out-of-sight-out-of-mind is the most logical approach here. :>)

Think I'm gonna send a bunch of 'em down to Gary in Iowa for safe keeping. He's younger than I, better looking and can more easily find another wife. :>)

Allan

"What, that tractor? That's Earl's, they just dropped it off here because they wanted help unloading it."

But, that's the limit 'cause I simply can't function without at least four.

Hurts my back to be pullin' those silly hitch pins all the time. :>)

Allan

However, the real problem is gonna come when I let the "I need another grain truck" out of the bag.

That day is gonna come down hard, I'm thinkin'. :>(

Allan

I would start at 2 tractors to 1 horse and let her negotiate from there.

And I assume that pretty line up for the picture was done when SWMBO was not around to see it.

BTW, Wifey liked that one. Aaron

She went to town for groceries while we had our family photo taken. So far, so good; trouble came later.

My mistake was showing her the picture. Dumb Allan! Very, very dumb. :>(
