I should've made more of an effort to keep these pictures in order, but I don't come across these older pictures unless I'm going through things for some reason or another. Tonight is one of those nights where I'm digging for something and came across some pictures I thought I might add to this thread.



Here's a picture from when Big Green first arrived home in Indiana. It was a cold morning. I don't even remember who took this picture of me with it. I think it might've been my Dad.



It was a nightmare unloading it from the trailer it arrived on. Even with the ramps on the trailer, we needed a loading dock. Of course, there aren't any loading docks large enough to accommodate it around here. The driver ended up backing his trailer up to a ditch and unloading the truck that way. He almost twisted one of his ramps and sunk Greenie in the mud, but he got it. I wasn't about to take on that task.
