Mid Life Crisis
Since I'm in my mid forties I've started to enter my second childhood. So I drove my new toy to work today.



They didn't laugh when the guy in the middle bought a motorcycle.

First off, I don't see how the name Fat Man fits

Don't feel bad. My dad has had a midlife crisis going on with tractors. Every chance he gets he operates one. Last time we were at my grandparents, he spent half of the day in a pasture with a backhoe driving around and the sorts. I hope when I have a midlife crisis, it's something a little better

He has another one going on with trailers. We have a nice horse trailer with living quarters. If he sees one for sale,he still stops to look for an hour. I think my mom might have some competition with some trailers

I hate to break it to you, but at your age, it's only a "Mid Life" crisis if you live to be 94!

I'm counting on a miracle from you Dr. Chitwood.

If I stumbled across the secret to living long and healthy, you'll be one of the first guys I call. (Of course, it'll cost you and everyone else $19.95 plus shipping and handling.)

I thought a mid-life crisis always involved a motorcycle or a convertible.

It is a convertable. Nothing like the wind blowing through your stubble while your screaming along at 8 mph.

LOL, I think your right Skippy usually a motorcycle. Dan showed me a flyer from Harley Davidson the other day, he said "look they want me to buy a motorcycle!"

Fat Man, I am going to have to close this thread. Impressionable youngsters will see you standing in front of that fast ride without a helmet on, and the next thing you know there will be kids racing tractors all over without helmets.

Joey, have you ever had to try to put someone back together that fell off of one of those bad boys going about 9 mph?

I bet would be an ugly sight.

It is when the wheels run over them. Hey Brian, is that Central Illinois in your avatar?

That's a great toy! I won't tell Bob, he'd be very jealous. You can come do our driveway this winter for frags if you like. Should only take you a couple days to drive it up the hill.

Hey Joey, you started a thread just for me! I was only gone because I forgot my password and couldn't get back on. It took forever before I offered JohnL enough money to email me my password. Would you remember it for me next time? It is.....hey wait, you have to promise you won't tell.

Yes, that is central Illinois, right out my bedroom window. The ocean is loud at times, but I manage. I hate it when the waves throw sea shells through my window, though.

Sweet! I have a JD 4010 and just added some lights to the ROPS today so I can use it at night. Uh oh, if I am going through a mid life crisis I am only going to make it to 58! What model is that one? There is a tractor forum I found a few weeks ago that seems pretty good. Here it is www.tractorbynet.com

My parents just turned 40 and their way of dealing with their mid life crisis was to buy me a brand new convertible mustang...but it didn't bother me too much. Damn parents...grrr...they still deny it though, lol!
