Driverlers #421 what’s that sound

[Crakajak]

I’ve still got sticker shock from the last time I went to the lawnmower shop for parts. They had floor models for up to 30K.

Bet they had 2 cup holders

But, no "mug" holders.

Am/Fm stereo cassette too...

That would be a custom build for that thing you got. Or perhaps a small pull behind bucket holder...

 

[fflintlock]

Do a Tim Allen trick out on a ride'n mower...

Am/Fm stereo cassette too...

8 tracks are better when mowing the lawn.

Those would be considered aftermarket add ons.

You are correct, but I've sold or given away, all my 8 tracks...

Lawnmower fixed I think! SIL suggested I clean throttle / governor linkage with break cleaner and lube it with spray. Did as suggested and everything be good now. WD-40 saves the day again, that stuff is liquid duct tape.

Sir Fish you (and others) fond of the old ways could go with a swept yard like my Nanny had. Didn’t cost anything but an occasional remake of a brush broom.

I’ve considered it! Those old farm houses sitting on rock or brick piers about four feet off the ground with half inch cracks in the floor, where the women scrubbed the floors with scalding hot water were surely cleaner too. Those chickens running around under the house grabbed every bug brave enough to run across that swept yard. The outhouse a good walk from the house made it cleaner too. Let’s all get back to basics. A big fire in the front room fireplace made it plenty warm in the winter. Summertime was supposed to be hot to grow good cotton.

And just in case you’re wondering, that house I described is the house we were living in when I was born.

I talked myself into keeping my old beat up mower and doing a few things for it. I just had a hard time plunk'n down that 2500 bucks on a new one. Although, I know the new one will probably outlast me. We'll see this fall if I can catch one on a good deal.

Sounds like me. I cut grass twice Saturday cause the blades are so wore out it leaves a gap.

Evening folks. Just got home
Long day of grinding at the salt mine and cleaning for dad.
Just turned down an invite to go to Oklahoma Thursday turkey hunting. Turkey hunters are crazy.
Deer I'd go.

 

[Crakajak]

I think it's time to pull my carrots out of the ground.
Sample pull today.

You need a deer roast and some taters!

All you need now are two onions, three taters, a good chuck roast and some red cornbread. I know you want sweet tea but it ain’t in your diet.

Haven’t heard either.
