SOLD- To a hillabilly.....

Poor little OBS may it rust in pieces... I mean... rest in peace? Could be either one with that truck.

Or my truck... but my truck isn't sold so it's not resting yet.

IT'S DARK TOO FREAKING EARLY!!

I'm home to eat then I've got to head up to a friend's house on the other side of town and pick up his broken lawnmower so I can fix it and leave a loaner with him til I get his back.

Went under my loaner today to make sure it had sharp blades before I drop it off and found that both blades were bent. A trip to Sears and $38 later it's got 2 new blades (it's only got 2 cause it's only a 42") and it's ready to go.

And oh yeah I have to winch the broken mower onto the trailer cause it's a decently sized JD ride-on and now it's gonna be dark by the time I've got to do that. Great.... just great.... If it's gonna be dark it damn well better snow! I want to plow something!

(Yes I left that open ended on purpose)

Good evening FTE
Aaron I'm glad to see the OBS is gone.
Pete I like the cool weather but the short daylight is not fun. It makes me want to crawl into a cave and go to sleep.

Morning all.

Aaron, I think its time to start taking a work truck home with you

Pete, Gonna try to make your time for your rollers today, but my daughter needs to be picked up in Burlington around 3:30 and I'm not yet sure if the wife is available or not. She hopes to be in which case I will be there. Where was this place again?
