    Not sure if I have told this story before. Last summer when I got my tractor delivered I had it parked in the garage when my wife got home. The first thing she said was "You can't park it there because I park there, where are you going to park it"? To which I replied, 'Guess I have to build a new pole barn"!! Ever notice sometimes women don't have a sense of humor? I actually need 2 pole barns!!:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    Moving some sand. There is one spot in the lane that needed more fill. Still might need more. Moved a couple logs. Too wet to till the ground yet.

    Garden probably won't get bigger. We already have 2 gardens. Wife does want me to take out 2 rows of raspberries and put that back into garden. I have thought about some hooks on the bucket but not sure. Probably will get a set of forks for it.
