So, I asked milady if I could put a bid on it. She said no problem, as long
as I get a new couch. Looks like about a 25% extortion tax.

But it's really for the tractor you parked in the front lawn for weeks.

Even worse, I done it again. Trading rear wheels for the tractor I'm loaning
my son, I stripped all the lug bolts on one rear wheel. After four days of
trying, I just gave up and sent the axle in to the dealer. they'll be a full
week. Stupid me, I did this right in front of the house. So, another full
week with broke down tractor in front of the house.

Don's got the best advice, I should go shopping for a new couch tonight.

Karl, a word to the wise: Have your missus pick several sofas she
would like and then buy buy the most expensive one!

I found the that this kind of "generosity" pays off in spades.

You didn't mention _that_ part of the saga -- don't you have a shop you
can pull things into?

Get her a sofa _and_ a love seat or an easy chair.

Just the fact that you have unbroken fingers to post with shows that she
loves you -- you should reciprocate.

Absolutely. In marital relations, it's far better
to be owed than to owe. I'da bought that sofa after
I dropped the pipe on her car (:
