Good lord, Ed. I thought we had it bad over here! The price per $100 in value isnt that bad but when the value jumps around like it does it sucks. I think its like .88 per 100 in value here.

That house I posed has a county assessed value at 236K right off the bat, no improvements or anything. Got an appointment to view it on Tuesday.

Brent, you might be swamped with PMs here in the next few months if we get it! lol

Thats about it Ed. I have systematically made it less and less grass. I would love to move and have a few acres but not in the cards right now.

Jim once I've got the Cub set up properly I'd be happy to lend you the Crapsman til you move.

Last time I was out mowing with the Cub I got to the end of my stripe and was getting ready to turn around, but when I went to turn the wheels didn't turn. So then I had a hunch and pulled up on the steering wheel and it came off in my hands. I figure if I toss a ton of JB Weld in there it should be good to go.

Thanks Pete I appreciate that. My neighbor offered for me to use his tractor if I want to. Before he bought his he used to borrow mine from time to time.
