OK boy's ,,n girls need your years of marital help ,,,,,,
coming home from a winter weekend away and I decided to try and find the local tractor junkyard to show my wife of 6 months the "gear" that I need to get for working this small piece of land we have ,,,bout 1 hour from our house ..
Well she wasn't much impressed with all the OLD junk the guy had laying around..But I tried to show her a plow and disc and harrows that I am looking at purchasing ,,,welll SHE blew up and started asking why I needed to spend thousands of dollars on equipment that I would only use once a year and we don't go down to the land often enough to have a "Garden " etc and what was I gonna plant etc etc ...Can't explain in words what it is I want to do ,,partically cause I was "trying" to maintain my cool...usually quite difficult in these situations .
I've spent $4500 for a tractor with blade for snow removal and a bushhog for thee heavier clearing and a woods winch to clean up my present yard from a hurrecane,,and JUST cause I want to work the small piece of land we have ,,,hell I don't know what I want to plant ,,just know I DO ,,,,try explaining that to a city girl ....
I pay all my bills and save for retirement and like most folks running the credit up more then I should some months ,,but I've a steady job that keeps the bankers off my back..andwhen I get a few hours overtime I will but a new tool box ,,,or part for the old tractor or what have you ,,But I'm being told I don't discuss my purchases with her first ,,,well after trying to show her first and explain ,,,I dont' think I'll be doing that again ,,,,I was ready to put the old tractor up for sale by the time we drove an hour in silence ,,,,,then let her look after getting rid of the snow /trees and 7 acres of grass and shrubs...Did I ask a question yet ????any advise ???????
