That sounds like a good start. Anything that will save or make us money, she is happy with.
Buy something for her? I'm still waiting for her to pick out her next new car. Maybe this will get her motivated to start looking.
I may also tell her that since we have a functional fire truck on the farm, it will lower our insurance rates.
She has been on vacation all week at the Lake of the Ozarks. I'm headed there in a little while for a family weekend get together and will not be back till Sunday. Maybe I'll let her catch me showing Dad the pictures.
If I had time to get it, it would be cool just to show up with it. Thats another excuse, there's a place two doors down from us we could back up to the lake and use the ladder for a high dive. That would make her shake her head walking away not wanting to be a witness.

I probably will not be able to pick it up for another week and the volunteer that showed it to me said he would give me a quick just in time training lesson on how to operate it.
