That was lol, thanks. But I'm going to put this here. They are SO cute. She had three and the playful one in the front is a handful. Literally runs circles around them.

My first tractor was a little bitty 17 HP Kubota, I named her Tetsuko, the Lady of Steel. I needed the back wheels moved to the widest setting they could be on, for stability, so I took it to a shop. They didn't have a lift small enough for her, so they used a forklift to pick up her back end to move the wheels. I looked at that forklift all snuggled up behind and lifting my little lady tractor, and said "Oh my! We are going to have a litter of lawnmowers in a few months!" But they are easier to find homes for than puppies :D

This makes me wonder if it would be possible to grow 10mm sockets out of mycelium. A cottage industry like that could make a whole bunch of permaculture millionaires. Heck, it might even be like getting in on the ground floor of bitcoin...

This is a little embarrassing to ask, apologies if it belongs in a different forum: Is your Kubota not potty trained, or is that... something else?

Tetsuko was simply so enamored of the fork lift, she spilled her wine, when she swooned!
