Why didn't I buy it? For starters I can't think that I would have a use for it other than parades and setting utility poles, or perhaps to erect a wind powered generator tower.
I'm still in the I HAVE TO EAT and Heat MY HOUSE mode rather than having any extra for more than the very cheapest of toys and necessities. But I hasten to add that I would like to have owned it for the novelty of it.
I, too, am thrilled that a Stovebolter got it, and one close enough that I might get to see it some day.
