Thanks, somehow she always ends up with a big birthday party, and I usually just want a couple friends around on mine lol.

Oh well I've got beer, and 3 or 4 different other uh... bottles to sip from.

I hope everyone is doing OK.

I spoke with Bob for a couple of hours Yesterday. He told me that they were still living out of boxes but they are getting settled in nicely.

Be Good!

The Kawasaki engine on mine took about 30hrs to break in and it hasn't used a drop of oil since. Almost 100hrs on it now. I'm using Rotella T-5 10w30.

I get out the weed eater about once a year to get around the edge of the pond. I wait until the last possible minute to break out the mower too. Even though I bought that nice brand new mower last year.
