TRACTOR TAX WRITE/OFF
Well said Mike! Definitely good to be the mass part of that equation.

TRACTOR TAX WRITE/OFF
Dave, I drive heavy vehicles for several reasons.
1. Safety for me and people riding with me.
2. I live on a dirt road in the desert.
3. I am a big guy and I don't fit comfortably into a small truck.
4. I live out of town, I need to have a vehicle that will carry a load.
5. I like them.
The tax situation is nice, but really would not change what I drive, or how I drive it.

TRACTOR TAX WRITE/OFF
Dave I am not arguing with you. Making a numbered list simply allows me to address my points quickly in a short post. There is no reason to assume that it means anything more than that.
We all know that threads tend to wander. I am sure that the regulars remember the Beaver Dam or Chris Rock posts. The relevant line through this one seems to be tax deductions and posts that don't directly address that (from me anyway) are answering some question or comment posed previously in the thread. Tax deductions and tax strategies are nice, but my point was that they are secondary to getting and using the equipment that we want, whether it be a truck, tractor, office or whatever. Maybe I did not address that directly enough.
There are some other ways to get some tax benefit if a "hobby" makes some income, or if you are an employee and have some legitimate business expenses that are not reimbursed by your company. These are special cases and anyone interested in them should consult an expert; not me.
I don't know why my last post bothered you. It was certainly not intended to offend anyone in its content or form. We all exchange some personal information and certainly the regulars get to know one another to a degree.
I guess I would think that if we were going to have general discussions of trucks, hemi motors, wood chucks, coyotes, generators, land use, taxes and so forth that my personal situation and reasons for owning a truck would fit nicely in there somewhere.

Dave. If the conversation is moving too fast for you please feel free to sit on the sidelines for a while and catch your breath.
Are you listening to yourself? I figure we are about two days away from another one of your tantrums. Changing your screen name didn't seem to help you.
Yesterday you wrote: "Could you not tweak that tenancious streak to a more positive tone that would benefit everyone and the site ? "
Maybe you should follow your own advice. Your input is certainly welcome here, especially when you are not picking fights.
I have noticed your morning/weekday postings seem thoughtful and well reasoned while your evening and weekend postings become strident, critical and abusive.
What is going on?

I don't see how AC's post was provocative or offensive in any way. On the contrary, I found it interesting to read his concisely stated reasoning. There's certainly nothing in his post to warrant a hostile response.

Dave (and all others too), please take this as nothing more than what I intended it to be, an observation.
I don't think anyone in this thread was trying to be condescending, nor were they trying to cause hard feelings nor take cheap shots.
I took AC's comments to have been given in point form merely in an effort to achieve brevity, something I need to work on myself at times.
You're right, I think we have all given (and taken) a few barbs and jabs along the way here, but we're still here, we're still adults, and life goes on....
Now, who's turn is it to buy the next round of Cyber drinks.
Best of luck.

This is that last thing that I am going to say on this thread. This is not directed an any one person.
I took no pot shots, cheap shots or any other kind of shots at anyone. I am a pretty straight forward guy. If I disagree with you, I will tell you. You will not need to find implications or inuendo in phrases or presentation formats that I pick.
I do not have a problem with considered differences in opinion. If I state my opinion and you agree with it fine; if you don't, that is fine with me too. If I think that you are wrong and you are trying to convince someone else of something, I will say so. I find it refreshing to be wrong myself every now and then, because I learn more when I get a surprise or have to look at something in a different way.
I referred to two previous posts only because they grew quickly and just as quickly got off topic. I participated in those posts as well as others. Other than that I have not got a clue about the references to Abraham Lincoln, communism, and other such things. I do not read every post that is put on this forum. I travel on business and there may be days at a time that I don't check into the forum. When I do check in, I will post if I think that I can offer something; otherwise I don't. I read a lot more than I write. As far as going off topic I plead "guilty". "Let he who is without guilt cast the first stone."

I quit toting rocks around a long time ago.
Topics evolve as new questions are raised. If something gets off track we are certainly free to re-pose the question, start a new thread with a tighter focus or just refrain from participation.
There is never a need to cast stones or aspersions. Calling nasty names or making veiled threats has no place here or in any civilized setting.
