    This is my tractor. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
    My tractor is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My tractor, without me, is useless. Without my tractor, I am useless. I must drive my tractor true. I must back straighter than Swift who is trying to hit me. I must dock before he hits me. I will... My tractor is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its engine and its APU. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my tractor clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will... Before God, I swear this creed. My tractor and myself are the deliverers of my load. We are the masters of our destiny. We are the saviors of my load. So be it, until ontime, safe delivery is ours and there are no incidents, but bonuses!

    From the sounds of it, when he delivers his load, he'll have a new arrival in 9 months! :)

    Mine cost me alot of money as she is high maintenance. She's full of hot air and can be cold on the inside. Her brain has limited functions. She can be loud at times. Personally, I keep my guard up, because I know she'll leave me one day for someone with money.

    I should have remembered the old farm philosophy of never name what you plan to eat. I made the mistake of naming my truck and it seems to have gotten it's own personality. Unfortunately I remember my old trucks by name better than numbers. Spongebob, Bone Cruncher, Widow Maker, and now the Blue Lemon.
