Clueless

Right after I got home from spending 4 hours having dental work done (I had my 2 crowns finished and they didn't find any new work that needs done!!! HOORAY!), Brent called to see if I'd like to go with him to pick up the 8640 John Deere tractor that we bought. I was hurting and had a headache, but finally decided to go since we don't get many invitations to hang out with him. We turned to go to Shelley and I said, "so it's [the tractor] is in Blackfoot?" Brent laughed and said, "No it's in Ashton." It still makes me laugh that I had no clue what I was in for. I wasn't really prepared, so we had to stop for some "wide load" signs (I know - pretty sad when you have to have those on the semi YOU'RE riding in) so I decided to get some snacks for Hudson . . . well, and me of course! It ended up being a fun outing. It should be a good tractor for us. We plan on using it as a pull tractor during corn, and a pack tractor for silage, and doing some of our heavier ground work with it. It just had a new engine and radiator put in it 50 hours ago ($17,000 job) so it should be good to go for awhile.
