Monday 

Took the ZTR mower out over the weekend for it's oil change and season readiness look over. Hour meter indicates that I average 50 hours per year. How the heck the deck became an inch low in front and a front tire got three sidewall cuts sitting in the garage I'll never figure. PIA to change the oil on this thing. Awaiting epray tires and tubes. Per instruction manual I should remove the deck and turn it over to change the blades; I think not.

 

What brand? I have a Bad Boy and I just elevate the front to switch out the blades.

Just bought gas and with a 8 gallon purchase I got free lighter fluid and a bag of charcoal. These are the good ole days.

I watched a show awhile back about Ford....and there was something like when you bought a new modle "t" it came with a free bag of Kingsford charcoal. The charcoal was made with the scaps of the cars. If ya google Kingsford and read the history it tell the story...it's really cool..

MKP :-)

 

 

 

Charcoal was invented by Henry Ford as a way to make use of the scraps from making the wood spoke rims.

 

The name of Henry Fords charcoal...... Kingsford!

Afternoon gang

 

$120 in the Nascar pool, not bad for $10 bucks a car and I picked two cars.

I came in second, of course after the dentist I just had to stop by, and then off to spend twice as much at Costco.

 

I see the mail just came in, I better go fix up the wife's "New" remote.

Morning gang

 

Bison, black bean & Cheese Burrito's, sounds like the plan of the day. 

Should look into picking up another HD drive fore the Ol'Pc, this windows 8 machine sucks all around.

First cup Duggans enhanced time for a second.

 

I see a Fry's flyby in my future.

New Ant install last Sat, that one cost $15 bucks from the swapmeet, a $300 in it's day.(A Vertical).

next one requires tree trimming of BOTH neighbors trees hanging too close to the cave.

With a little tree trimming, I figure to get @least a 125' run for the long wire ant shortwave.

Only have 15' hangin up there now and listening to HongKong news.

Dang Mark, isn't it 5:45 am where you are right now?  Didn't you get the memo about sleeping in when you're retired?  If not, I'll have Chuck send you a copy.

6:10 by the time I see this.

The wife HOPES im on the forum, it's the ONLY place I spend NO money.

The wife would disagree with the sleeping-in-senerio.

See thinks she has another Cat as far as Naps go.

Darn Mike that is a pia! 

 

1999 John Deere basic push mower here.  May have to replace this year :( engine wants to stop ever so often while mowing.  Have had a tune up but no change.

the push mower is the reason that Chuck can have a picture of him shirtless for an avatar.
