Just curious the issue? Pandemic or family stuff?
Patrick said mean things to me and I don't want to be around him.

OR

We've just put a contract on a new house and will be moving right about the time of the event.


We're killing ourselves at the moment trying to get the current house on the market. All the bikes are buried behind bags of stuff heading to the dump, Goodwill, or some place else. CW once told me that moving takes a year before life gets back to normal. That year officially started last Friday night. Holy $%#%...51 more weeks of this might just kill us.

I'm hoping to escape long enough to ride straight to the event and take a breath with you guys. I may just be fooling myself. Don't see any chance in hell that DM will be willing to do the same...but can't "officially" rule it out.

Well good luck on the house stuff. Hope you survive with all your (remaining) mental faculties intact.

And Damn on the timing. Hope you make it out!

Thanks, me too.

Did a lot of near full throttle riding today on the tractor. 40hp of diesel isn't the same thrill as the SAS...but I do love my tractor.

LS - XG3140H with front end loaded...the most versatile device I've ever owned in my life...by a long shot.

We're moving into a (gasp) neighborhood, and everything has to go. From ATV to UTV, chain saws to every piece of equipment that can cut a blade of grass or cut/split wood...it all goes. Of it all, I'll miss my tractor the most.

Selling market is allegedly good. Really hoping so. DM and I are both burned out up here on the mountain.
Found a new place that was not overpriced. Is not on a mountain surrounded by 100'+ tall trees in every direction...and someone else cuts the grass.
Holy #@$!@ we have blown out insane level of work to get this place on the market. Up at 4am today, at one point we had 2 trucks (not ours) a big trailer...and even a Prius loading up stuff we haven't even gotten the credit card bill on to pay for it. Everything's gotta go...even if it hurts.
Gotta stop typing and go make another mortgage application. This #@$% sucks!!

I am also a LS owner, XR4155, bought it last fall and so far I’m loving it.

Lame.........need I say more? Or will you require some counseling if I do?
Hell, I've been in counseling ever since I met you.

Jason Aldean has a tractor song. . . . but, it brand specific. . . . and, not Cycledude's brand.
Think it's safe to say my tractor has never been the inspiration of any such action. But it's a rare day that I spend a few hours on my tractor and don't tell DM how much I love my tractor. Much like having kids, you don't understand how big an impact on your life a good tractor has until you actually get one. It's a total game changer.

I grew up with an uncle's tired old Ford 8N on his farm and the first time on a relatively new Deere was like going from a 1970 Honda 350 to your 1290 SAS.

Me too. Grandpa’s Ford was the first motorized thing I was allowed to play with. Now I am BIGBOB but 60+ years ago at 5 I learned I had to decide if all my weight was going on clutch or brake. Quickly learned to clutch to neutral then brake. Was only allowed 1st or 2nd gear so 5mph max? But started me on power.

Guy I worked with 10 years ago had several thousand acres in corn and beans. I was allowed to run the grain cart. About 27 hydraulic gears, just press up or down switch. Clutch just to come to complete stop and start. Full heat, ac, sat radio, floating seat. Better confort than my truck!

Here is what Gunner came up with for the art work for the T-shirts. What does every body think of the design and if you are interested in purchasing a T-shirt what type do you prefer, a standard t-shirt, or dry fit, short sleeve or long sleeve? We are 10 weeks out so its time to get these into production if anyone is interested.

I’d take a couple stickers and one XL Tshirt in whatever model is decided upon.

I'll take a couple of stickers and one 2x and one 1x (or XL) tee shirt. Don't know what a dry fit is.....
Since I now know what dry fit is (thanks to JJTJ2), I'll change my shirt order to one 2XL regular tee shirt and one 2XL Dry Fit shirt, long sleeve if you got one or short sleeve if you don't. (Plus a couple of stickers.)
