It's mandatory to have the radiator cleaned if the customer wants the engine warranty.

With it overcast and chilly I have motivation and nothing really pressing to be completed so I guess we are off to do some Christmas shopping, I told my wife I would go with her today.

Spent most of the day working on the truck, but what else is there to do on a Saturday. Got the bed bolted down, and aligned with the cab along with the rear bumper. Replaced all the fuses, 6 amazingly, and all the lights including brake, and turn signals work. Now down the horn, and wipers.

Even found time to visit my youngest daughter, and grand daughter. Finished off an already great day.

Went looking at a 4 wheeler and it ended up being a hunk of junk. Then I went Christmas shopping with the wife. Watching the little man today while the wife helps a friend. She started acting like I haven't watched a child before. He is clean, dry, not crying, not hungry and is currently mesmerized by watching mickey mouse clubhouse. Score for daddy!!!

Sometimes but I spend a while looking on the web for a deal. I had to learn to walk away from junk and doubt I will buy anything new ever again. Used is one thing and used up is another.

I guess I passed the daddy test. The wife is on her way home and the kiddo is still alive. He is washed up, fed and fast asleep. I could do the Mr Mom thing everyday.

Looks like will have to upgrade from long sleeve shirt to coat this weekend out at the land. I am very warm natured.

The reasos I went new tractor vs used Not much of a price differance and tractors can get used up fairly easy. More than likely when we replace the wrecked Jeep ,I get Lexie another new one. But we don't plan on buying another car after that

The thing I run into is I buy something used that needs a little fixing, I end up spending more than if I had just bought a more expensive less used one or a new one.

Understand what you are saying. I've always felt that I was a day late, or a dollar short. Bundle up Saturday Hugh.
