The suspense is killing me.....what did you buy?

Some might say a very special little lady. Some might even say a dream. Still a little bit lot in shock.

After purchase...a few random spastic 360's...followed by arms flailing wildly, incoherent verbiage...hands over eyes, not sure whether I should be looking at what just happened...

She's due on Friday :)

Does that ease the suspense?

:p

Haha yes, many pics, many details, for sure. And ya know as the old saying goes....one man's treasure is another man's unbalanced silly little bass. So it's all relative. Don't mind me.

Seriously though... Petty was right. The waiting really is the hardest part :cool:

The Eagle landed a few hours ago. Letting her acclimate to indoor temps a bit in the case. Took a quick peak...and my jaw hit the floor. Looks even better than the pics in the ad...which is always nice :) More minty fresh than I originally thought. And the original case came with it...which is a big bonus, as it's not so common

I'll do a photo shoot in just a little bit. Some people may find this pretty cool (people who have a beating heart). I know I do. I think this one is worthy of sending HP a message and some pics :)

Back soon :)
 
My dream has always been to own a JD Thumb....the godfather of Thumbs. Any which one would suffice. Didn't matter what year....though a shorthorn was the ultimate goal. So needless to say, when I saw one for sale with the serial F 125... I did a double triple take on top of my already slack jawed expression. Not only was this a shorthorn, but it was the first version ever...from June of 1985. Just the 125th one made. Jaw, hit, ground.

There were 3 versions of the JD in 1985 alone (for certain)...and the shorthorn was exclusive to '85...with medium horns coming in a least November of that year. So the shorthorn was only produced for roughly 6 months. Link: 1985 Jd Thumb Revisions And Comparisons

I can't believe how different it is to the modern Thumb. Seems like the body is about half the mass of the current breed. Night and day. So thin....yet very solid feeling. Those boys put a lot of hours into it.... and a lot of love...and it shows. It's a masterpiece.

And total bonus...the original orange flight case. Custom foam and all. It's smaller than the modern flight cases....with a cool little hinge on one corner.

Blah Blah Blah... Here she is... Her name is Stella.
