Got New Mower

[Terrierman]

Why here's old Forrest right now...14.5 HP of Briggs and Stratton Cast Iron Cylinder Sleeve goodness, just itching for some action.

I went garage saleing with my wife last weekend in the burbs.   I won't ever buy new lawn equipment again.  4 lawn mowers all with test drives right there.  Nice ones too.  CHEAP!  like under $100.  I have put off buying a snow blower because I just shovel it.  Woman had a toro snowblower with a 2 stroke motor.  I asked if it ran and she said yeah but her husband drains the gas every year.  I hesitated and she ran in the garage and said I have the 32 to 1 gas can half full too.  I said I'll give you $20 for both since I haven't seen it run.  She said DEAL!   I have yet to try and start it but for $20 it's worth a shot.  When I pulled away somebody was driving her lawn mower around for a test drive.  I actually had a great time BTW...

I had a good time.  I’ve never had to go because my daughter always went.  She furnished her whole apartment doing it.  Well she’s at school and my wife was down about it so I said I’d go. I’ll post pictures if I get it started 😆

Hey Wrench - have I ever mentioned that old Forrest is the deluxe model with onboard beverage caddy?

Don't you need a little extra cash?      C'mon over with that Sweet Ride and lets haggle over it. 

I'll throw in a free fishing trip, and besides....I owe you some liquor.  😎

Sorry man. Old Forrest is just not for sale.  I actually use it here and besides, If you got it, I wouldn't be able to gig you anymore about my cool mower. 

We'll see about the fishing trip - we've got a lot of travel and other things already on the books for spring and summer.  But I'd like to do that.  And about the liquor - I've forgiven that debt with no hard feelings whatsoever.

And plus all that, I just put a new tube in one of the rear tires yesterday.  No way am I wasting that effort.
