Yep, especially true after the earthquakes and tsunamis a year ago wrecked the appliance and electronics inventory coming out Japan. I wonder if it'll ever get back to the levels it used to be, especially for the smaller companies like I worked for. Have 200 of a $5k fridge in our regional warehouse hahah. For a few months last summer we were accepting manufacturer trucks directly at the store for inventory.

Looked at a puppy today. A Rhodesian Ridgeback aka "Lion Dog". Beautiful dog.

Here is the pup I looked at. 10 weeks, 22#s. Huge paws, great ridge.



Here is the dad. He is 105# and 2 years old.

Lonely. Wife and I talked about a dog. If I get the dog it will come home. Plus, I will be sleeping in the desert and mountains alone some time. A good dog could make a big difference.

Think Tom Hanks and "Wilson"

True. Even though we don't hunt with them, I come from a family that's always had dogs. Papa brought home a doberman once that the seals deemed "too aggressive to train" hahaha.

What do you know about mower bagger interchangeability Tim?

Not much Dave. I would presume that they are kind of brand specific. Ben might know?

Yea. This free-to-me mower that I finally checked out doesn't have a bagger. For 250-400 for a set of bags, might as well get a sub $200 dump cart and make a doghouse to go on top of it.

You can get just any bag carrier then Dave. You should have a rear bagger mount already built into the back/bottom of the mower. Home Depot/Lowes sells em. You will probably go with a triple bagger for a 54" mower.

I'd try either Sears for a craftsman or Lowes for a Husqvarna.

Hows it going Virginia Folks?

How is everyone doing after the storms? The parent in-laws last a 200+ old Oak tree in the front yard.
