Morning guy's hope all is well. Just got back from the Husqvarna shop. Took my carb in because I couldn't see inside all the passages (eyes are failing) guy said I still had some rust and crud in it. I said FK it boil it and put new jets in it. For $80 it's better than me dicking with it for hours on end. All I have to do is slap it back on when they're done 👍

Yeah leaving it off for now, I'll haul a trailer down in the spring load the mower and bring it home. I'd like to keep it here but I still have at least 2 more years of work and I can take SS at reduced rate, but they're raising the maximum I can earn to about $52k a year and still receive SS, so I might be able to go to part time and still make a decent wage....now convincing the wife....lolol

The wife didn't want me collecting SS until I was 70 or older....that's 10 more years....I don't know that I have that in me. I started working for a paycheck when I was 10 yrs old, so I have 50 years of employment under my belt and I've only been without a job for 3 weeks one time. I'm tired 😫 LOL

I have to go at least 2 more years. Then I'll have to find someone that knows SS ins and outs to make sure I'm not screwing myself.
