A shout-out to my wife, who has tolerated my many projects over the years where we have joked about her being a Deck-Widow, Landscape-Widow, Basement-Widow, 3D Printer-Widow and etc…

As I have worked on the family CA, we have occasionally commented that she is now a “Tractor-Widow!”

So, I have to put this out there!

Kari would often say... while I have been “tractor-ing” she’s been writing. She has mentioned over the years that one day that she wanted to write a book. It has been exciting to watch her book, Killer Insight, develop over the past months. I am excited, her first book will be published tomorrow!

Yes, I am a bit biased, but it is a spectacular, page-turning read. I am stoked to see her series roll out (she’s already written the next couple)! Each of these are just as engaging, and it is fun to read about the continuing adventures of her detective protagonist, Kaitlyn Kruse. I think her keyboard is starting to smoke!

She also developed this quiz for the book. Was fun to do the quiz and when we tested it with friends and family, we had a great time!

Kari, most recently mentioned to me…. maybe you are now a “Book-Widow!” :’)

Dan

I regretted it as soon as I realized I had praised you for praising your wife. I thought you were being a thoughtful husband which the world needs more of. But no you were plugging a book and some wimpy quiz. The name of this forum thread is FARM EQUIPMENT. Keep that whatever it was on fakebook or somewhere more appropriate

I really was praising all her effort and success, both the book she wrote and the quiz she developed! I only sent it to this thread because, I had often commented on her being a tractor-widow.

It really is about her and her success!

CA13414, welcome to the AC forum. I see your profiles says you joined this past February 2024. “Tractor-widow” ~ that is so true!!

See if your wife might write a book on the numerous ways we husbands “hide our latest Allis Chalmers Equipment acquisitions” from our beloved wives. And then later, formulate stories about how such items happened onto said premises.
