I started off Tuesday by picking up a nice condition Ingersoll 222 - that made 2 tractors in the yard, I promised
I was good now, didn't need to be looking on kijiji or FB Marketplace anymore as I was happy with the combo of 2xx and 4xx tractors that could share attachments and be a back up if one of them decided to have a "senior moment" and be uncooperative when it was time to cut grass or move snow...Yesterday Kelly was out having lunch with friends and I was left at home, alone and unsupervised... looking at FB to pass some time I accidentally hit the marketplace button and the first thing to pop up, top right corner was a listing for a "Compact Tractor" didn't even mention Case... I knew what it was as soon as I saw those cute "bug eye" headlights staring at me, The listing had only been up for 4 hours, I thought about it for a couple of seconds and sent off my reply, expecting to be already sold... I went to pickup
from her luncheon not expecting to have to explain anything because it was probably already gone... walked in the door and made a bee line to the computer and showed her the listing 
expecting there to be a 
or at very least 
a questioning of my sanity and or common sense. Just then I got the reply saying it wasn't sold yet, but there had been a few inquiries with people who wanted to have a look at it first. I replied that based on the photos I had cash on hand, would buy it sight unseen, but I was a 2 hour drive away from him... And that is the story of how I drove to the Sarnia area, and came back with a really nice 195 in the trailer.It's shiny and the right colour, but was painted with a brush, so not quite showroom condition but more than passes the 20/20 rule for me - (20 seconds or 20 feet)
Big thanks to
for not 
and generally enabling my disorder...
support is a two way street.
