Hello Gavin!!

Well the JD is a lot smaller than you're tractor.....it's an X300 and it's like mowing with a Cadillac compared to what I'm used to.

On another note, I got the top off of the Jeep this past weekend and we took it out for a couple hundred miles of roadtrip.....and it was fantastic. I'm still looking for a good used truck but haven't found much of anything worth buying yet.

Yeah I got the hand truck back and by the time we figured up everything else they screwed up, it ended up being about $400 cheaper than it started.

The mower is great Gerry and I really appreciate him giving it to me. As for the Jeep....I'm gonna run the soft top as long as I can stand it before I put the hard top back on.

Howdy Paul! Yeah, I'm icing it down right now. I'd rather use the heating pad but the doc says heat is a no-no so I'll just keep the ice on it. I'll try to snap a couple of pics of the JD this weekend and I promised Andre a few more pics of the Jeep too.

The Jeep is a blast Gavin! I'm happy with it and so is the family. I'm probably just SOL on finding a good truck at this point. I'll likely just have to bite the bullet and end up spending a little more than I wanted to.

Trying to see if there is a seasonal trend in my idling habits. I don't think so lol


My x-axis labels on the graph also seem like they're off by a month. Will have to fix that...

Randy, that is wonderful news. I know the time will drag for you. But that is about three weeks.
