Machinist/Welder - Show and Tell

The high point of our Anniversary. I love this Man!

Is it a NEED or a WANT???

I know the answer........I want this so bad, I can't stand it. Do I really need it? Probably not.

I've been going through this debating thought process for the last 24 hours now. Should I or shouldn't I buy it. It would make the movies and picture presentations so much better, easier and faster. I like the faster. With the system I have now, it takes approximately 3 to 4 hours to produce a 3 minute movie. I dare not go over 4 minutes.

However, this MacBook Pro starts at $2100 and with the features (I need/want) it will total around $3200. yhoo whoo! I tell myself, "lets be reasonable here. It is, just another toy. You have a computer."

Then the child in me wants to say, "well Kirk got all his toys when he wanted them. He has two boats now, extra boat motors, fishfinder, GPS and many rod and reels." Gee, whats up with that?

We think we have come up with a solution. When Kirk sells one of his boat motors ($4500.) I get to have a Mac attack.

Patience is a virtue.

Our new used Kubota

I mentioned at the beginning of August that we purchased a tractor. It finally got put to use yesterday, mowing weeds. We have a good crop of them. Actually, it has been used often to move equipment and heavy items like motors around in the shop. (I wasn't there to take pictures) The future plan for it's use, to clear the driveway of snow in the winter. Now the talk is, to purchase a used snow blower attachment. (it never ends) My plan was to use the tiller attachment to turn over my sad looking garden. Guess that will have to wait. Tiller needs work and that may be a winter project. Oh well. Kirk loves his tractor and that is all that counts.

In the mean time, I aggressively cut grass with my favorite ride. Maybe too aggressively. With all the bouncing around I put my back out. I can't move. Hoping the chiropractor is in on Saturdays.
