She said to me;
MS: If someone told her ten years ago, that you would be into tractors the way you are now.. I would have not have believed them..
ME: I think all that it is, is that I don't need counter parts as if I was in a band, I don't need a drivers license to drive them, I am not out at a bar, doing stupid stuff.. One thing is, I didn't grow up on a tractor. But I did grow up with legos, and erector sets.. I loved every min. of it.. I found a 125 or sim tractor on CL.. it is in pcs across a table.. Talking about reliving my childhood.. To me it looks like a brand new pack of legos sprawled about the floor. Just asking to be put together..
MS: All the time and money you are putting into these tractors.. You could have just bought a new one..
ME: But what is the fun in that?
MS: Oh, I don't know..? The thought of not having to fix it?!?!??
ME: That is so much of what makes this "hobby" fun.. Any one can buy a new tractor. Not everyone enjoys putting one together.. Or getting their hands dirty.. Honey.. As long as you have known me,, I get dirty..
MS: I still don't get it...
ME: And I, still don't get the need for a new pair of shoes every week!!
MS: But I ware them!
ME: No you don't! I use my tractor more than you ware your new shoes!
MS: My shoes are not the same as your tractors!!
ME: I know, my tractors get more millage than your shoes!!
MS: You are one strange little man!
ME: Yes, Yes I am!!
ME: I win!!
