WillyBob Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 we were allowed 2 shift drinks at the bowling alley. Is a pitcher of beer one drink? sounds like using a weedeater down here. One reason why I use a whip sickle... and I broke the handle on it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Irish in me, love taters and spirits a hundred different ways! Get pissed because the tap would not bring more string out so I'd tap harder string would appear. Next time the harder tap produced no string so tap harder..... usually a few hours did it and the dummy that forced me into it would cuss. I'd say you hired me for such and such then tell me to do this and I told you what would happen. What's the matter here? Never liked weed eaters anyhow. I was a good hard worker, 10 hrs work for 10 hrs pay... usually they'd laugh and I'd never have to touch one of those again. I have fired a few bosses in my life though. The attitude is strong in this one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'm not too fond of power equipment. Spent a couple years working on the stuff. I will say that I do like my chainsaw. That's one piece that works harder/faster. It cuts oak. Try that with an ax. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Yes that's true @WillyBob, except the women fuss about them like cutting the yard on a hot day. "It's tall, I've got time... I gotta cut it." "It's 99 degrees do it in the morning" "It's wet with the dew in the morning, and I was busy" "It doesn't grow when it's cold dam*$t" My lawn mower died a couple years ago and I traded my Husky 350 for a dual blade 21" honda mower. That was a great saw, it put the oil on the chain by itself, started quickly even cut pine well if you cleaned it afterwards you could use it again! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I was known for being temperamental at the bowling alley. Make me angry ...I would leave in the middle of a shift... that was better than me staying. Told the one manager to keep the owner out of the backend... He might have an accident....if I was on duty. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 haven't had to mow this year. I didn't water and it didn't rain. I have a couple saws. 2 old electrics, a big as Jonsered and a little Stihl. Love that little saw. Been into the shop one time. It needed a pull cord. I do burn through bars, chains and drive sprockets. Regular maintenance items. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I hear that.. I was sort of a necessary evil there.They would bring me in when things got very broken. I would get the place running and then we would find a reason to part ways... until the next time. They would call me. Not the other way around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I have a honda heavy pos auto drive sitting in my garage. I should probably start it and let it run a bit. I need a light weight nimble you do the pushing high wheeler, which I have in a yard machines with the b and s quantum engine. Had it for years and it starts on the first pull once the season gets going. The honda is a key turn starter. Good gawd y'all who are the wimps out there demanding this product? BTW, I got it for free tossed in with a commercial edger I bought from a co-worker. They didn't need it any more because they started hiring out the mowing chores. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 so, i had a craving for a milk shake today and stopped at a Sonic Drive In. Ordered a Banana shake. Drive off. Noticed it tasted a bit unpleasant and then a chunk of chocolate comes up the straw. Now mind you, i hate chocolate almost as much as i hate the Los Angeles Dodgers. I drank a 7 Up and that didn’t wash away that horrible taste. I think i’m going to have to take a shot of either Tequila or Bourbon. I’m also tempted to grab my bottle of @oldtimer hot sauce and shake a few drops onto my tongue. For those of you that consume chocolate ... how in the world do you do it? that is some nasty stuff ... I feel like a communist or something. I think I’ll go say the Pledge of Allegiance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate Honda mowers, had a rider that has a carburetor part needing to be replaced, the Honda part number was for the whole engine, no smaller parts sold. Will stick with the tractor from now on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes on the hot sauce and the tequila or Bourbon, but I do like chocolate, dark the higher the number the better. Maby not communist but just old fashioned odd. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mow around certain wildflowers at certain times of the year. No one could ever do it right without the in depth knowledge of the flora and fauna of the land, and most people just know derr, I mow the yard... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
