that song will probably never make top 100 billboard

today was practice, which i made one moto thanks to sitting in traffic below hartford FOREVER because some jackass threw a cigarette butt out and lit a forest fire right after the merge from rt 9 to 91. tomorrow is racing. i havent raced since 2007, and havent really ridden on a track since then as well. i was pretty beat and way out of shape but i made it enough laps to equal a moto before i died so i guess ill try not to come in last place tomorrow. we will see if i can walk or feel my arms in the morning though.

josiah is there a john deere lawn mower club we can join? i got a 110? this winter and although i dont like green things it seems like it will cut the grass just fine.

I'm on Mytractorforum.com, haven't looked into whether there is a CT chapter though. I'll check it out. I was originally going to buy a 112 from a guy that oversees the jobsite, but he didn't have a mower deck with it, and I didn't want to spend the time trying to locate one and restoring it. Plus, it had a motor that didn't offer a re-power option, and had zero aftermarket or NOS support. So, what year is your 110? Pictures are always welcome.

Edit: I did not find a regional chapter section.

Morning on this Monday morning.

Looks like a great day to be outside. Got to go buy dog food, finish up on the dog kennel. and wash the camper. Oh ya mow the lawn, why did I fertilize the yard. Retirement what can I say.

By the way smoked the pork loin this weekend came out juicy and everyone was impressed. On Sunday morning we cut up the left overs and cooked them in bacon fat and served it with eggs and it was great.

Good evening everyone.

My wife blew a tire on her new van this morning on her way into school. It was on an uneven patch of pavement in Hartford in an active construction zone. Gonna see if I can get them to pay for the $175 tire, but I don't think it's gonna work.

In other news, discovered the hard way that her car came with wheel locks but no key. So it was a 60-mile tow to bring the van to Auburn instead of simply being able to change the freaking tire. It's been a great day.

Old gator grip socket can help get those off in a bind. Hope they pay for your tire!

I tried a Gator Grip on a rounded off lug nut a few years ago with minimal success, I couldn't imagine trying that on one of these things.

Here's a photo my wife took, as you can see the lugs are recessed into the wheel. It would be hard to grab that thing with anything other than a key.

Hi everyone,

My wife has been on this computer and all of a sudden I can't get on this site. I keep trying and trying, but won't boot up. Since 8 this morning and every once in a while I go for it . well It's after 3:30 and I'm on.

Sorry to hear about the tire Tom. Were you able to find a key?

Well I guess I'll hop around the site and see what's going on.

Hi John,

Try clearing your cookies and trying again, that seems to be a common cause. Never found the key, it ended up being towed 65 miles to the selling dealer and they removed them.
