New tractor

And here he is, master of his domain, about to take the maiden voyage on the new tractor. Damn thing is loud, he should wear earplugs when he's mowing. He's got gorgeous weather today so he'll play with it and figure out how low he needs to set the deck to cut the grass without digging up the dirt. This is the Limited Edition model of this particular tractor. Near as I can tell, that means it's painted a goddawful shade of gold and has a cupholder for your can of Bud.

Not to anthropomorphize too much, but here is the sad old tractor, alone in the back yard, waiting to go to tractor heaven (aka the town dump). It was a good beast, having mowed and tilled for thirty-two years. RIP, old tractor.

  1. Pop Pop looks great! He will enjoy this new cocktail lounge on wheels. Should I send him a coolie cup? Everything looks so green and lush... Spring has sprung up there and he's ready! Have him put a rod holder on it so he can pop his golf unbrella in it on hot sunny days! Ride On.

  4. It just occured to me that I forgot to say he ran over a hillock of hard dirt the first day and bent the blade on the mower deck.

    Too bad we can't edit comments.
