It's something to think about. My late husband owned "Bertha" and now I'm logging onto a machinist website (something I have absolutely NO interest in) to try and find a buyer. She's on wooden skids and comes with all his tooling for her.
Memories:
He found her years ago leaning on the side of an old barn with a dirt floor. She was neglected, rusting, alone, not loved or touched in a long time. She needed some TLC, sanding, dusting, dental work (gear/teeth), oil, wires, and attention. He went to visit her for a while, whispering sweet nothings, promising her this and that, putting her on skids and getting ready to bring her home.
His buddy wanted to hire a friend to move her, but he had other ideas. He cut through the front of my steel two-horse trailer and welded a winch to the floor and he used that to slide her into the trailer to bring her here. His buddy was so mad (thinking the move was dangerous) that he wouldn't even watch the move (which went smoothly, without a hitch). When he got her home he un-welded the winch and placed it out the back door of the shop (barn) using the concrete slab as a base to winch her into the shop where she has stood since he slid her into place that day.
Cheating on me, he spent a lot of time with her and I have to admit, I did get jealous. He made love to her in so many ways. He made a new gear for her and bought her all kinds of trinkets. She got better and better the more he loved her, the more attention he gave her, the more he fixed her up. Did I mention I got jealous?!
Anyway, he's gone now and she needs someone to love her. She misses him, and so do I.
