| A friend stopped Saturday--said his daughter had moved away and told him to have me pick up her old lawn tractor, and keep it!
figgered i couldn't beat a deal like that. One low tire, good battery, lost ign. key (easy fix-that) Starts and runs! Hauled it home. Needs TLC, and it'll be good to sell. Probably have to sell everything, in order to buy gas for my motor home. (10 MPG!) Installed key, checked gas, ok, and it mows! Friend sez--the son-in-law couldn't pour water out of a boot, if the directions was printed on the heel! Gonna rain tomorrow, but the good stuff is inside! |

| I suggest you pull the RV in the back yard put murals on the windows of the wild west, get you nature tape, and pretend you on vacation! At nearly $4 dollars gallon and still going up (for no reason other than stock market scammers) bicycles maybe in order if you want to go somewhere. I refuse to get'em rich. once it goes over $3 gallon I bundle my trips, go only when need to, and refuse to put over $40 dollars worth of gas in my truck. Once I retire retire if I go somewhere twice month it will be alot. Stay right here on Hails 1 1/2 acre. |

| Good ideas, folks! I have a truck cap that fit on my '91 Ranger with a 7 ft. bed, but the Ranger i have now is a 6 ft. bed, so i have a problem. Oh, i could use it in a pinch for sleeping at a Bluegrass festival, but the overhang would still allow the bugs and cretins to get in! I had a cap to fit it, but i couldn't get a lawn tractor in under the top of the opening, because the steering wheel hit the lift gate! I have toyed with the idea of using 2x12's to raise the cap. But, i don't think i'll be going any way, with the cost of gasoline going up almost daily! Well, i must get back to the garage. Have a lawn tractor in for service. Somebody wrote in and asked how to get the oil filter off a Kohler engine. My answer? Brute force! About pulled my guts out, with pulling on the filter wrench! rj |
