No. That’s a new one on me. I sure wouldn’t be opposed to one though. I sure miss my old Lab, but wife isn’t quite ready to get another one yet. It was like losing a child for her.

I put some miles on it today. It is windy, but still very nice. I got over 48mpg on the last tank of gas. That’s pretty cool! I’m sure hoping to wear out a set of tires this year.

It felt great to get out and ride a bit today. Have to go to a baseball game after while. I’d ride to it, but not sure my wife would like riding that far at night. Baby steps with her cause she still isn’t real sure about all this motorcycle business.

Any luck?

I keep the garden clean with a tractor and one row cultivator and a gooseneck hoe. It takes some effort and time. You can buy sweet corn at the farmer's market or Mennonite stand cheaper and easier than raising it. That doesn't make my wife as happy as seeing me sweating my azz off hoeing rocks in our garden, however.

Is some decent riding weather too much to ask for? It’s frigid here! The weatherman says warmer weather two days out. He’s been saying that for a week now.

Bump for RC3!

I love my RIA 4". I bought it used. It came with a box of ammo with a magazine's worth missing. I'm pretty sure that's all it had been shot. I added an ambi safety lever, 3 dot sights, and the elk stag grips. I have some nicer 1911s, but this one is probably my favorite.

You'll find a 5 gal bucket a bit small for a tomato plant. If you have a buddy or neighbor who raises cattle, those plastic mineral tubs are perfect.

I’d love to take a ride on one of those!

You can order directly from Anderson or Palmetto State and have them shipped to your dealer. Your dealer should also be able to order them. You’d think a dealer would have a pile in stock, but who knows these days?

I always heard a zero turn wasn’t any good for bills and slopes. I’ve been on some that proved that true. The one I have now will pretty much go anywhere I can take my tractor and bush hog. There is a learning curve involved in figuring out what one will and won’t do and how to best do it.

That’s cool!

I'll be happy to provide the public service of collecting all that old, dirty Russian ammo (Chinese too), and dispose of it properly.

If you are surprised by this, stand on your head.

The man stays busy. There’s no denying that.

You’ve spent a BUNCH of money, or else I want to know where you shop! Very nice collection.

I'll be interested to hear about this as well.

Wow!

A bit of music for my two wheeling friends.

It’s a competitive market. I honestly don’t think one brand is vastly superior to another within the same price point. You DO get what you pay for. If you plan to use it for 8-10 years, a bid box mower should do the trick. If you want to make a living with it, or use the same mower for life, a commercial mower is a vastly better mower. Just like we all don’t need a dialog diesel pickup, we don’t all need a commercial mower. I can say I have a commercial 61” Bad Boy with a Kawasaki engine, and it is a quality machine. There are usually several slightly used mowers for sale on sites like LSN and Craigslist that are much cheaper than new. Sometimes you can catch one at a local estate sale as well. Buy a brand you can easily and conveniently get parts for.

My wife finally just said “Screw it! You’re getting one anyway. Might as well buy me a helmet.”

Tell her if she can ride that purse to work, it’s a deal. I guess I’m a lucky man. There’s a lot better chance I’d buy a $5k purse than my wife.

I tried to load my dirtbike in dad's truck without ramps when I was a kid. It seemed simple to just ride a wheelie and stop when I got to the tailgate. Then I could pick up the rear end. When I stopped, it resulted in a bent tailgate. Dad said it was time I bought my own truck and quit using his.

Pretty simple, really.
