You could be right about that Nick .... and I truly hope you are, but in my experience women are very good at picking up on the smallest little "thing", while sometimes overlooking that which is far larger and more obvious.

Just sayin' is all !?!?
So true....Eagle eyes when warranted.

Post by: Nick on February 06, 2020, 09:16:41 am: I bought two tractors this past summer at auction about a month apart... one was a steel-wheeled Farmall F-12 painted gray (red wheels) and the other an F-14 on rubber with buzz saw mounted on the front...

She was with me when I bid on and won the F-14, I dropped out of the bidding but she told me to bid once more and I won... I wasn't going to say no to that :D We pulled this one to my dad's shop, where it sat until the second auction. Fast forward one month, I bought the F-12 while she was home with the kids. We hauled that one home right after the auction and without telling her it was a new tractor, she thought it was the first one that she helped me bid on. :D If she can't tell the two tractors below apart, I don't think she's going to notice any new steam toys...
