nylyon-(Admin) 7,114 #1 Posted June 21, 2015 I needed a new push mower since my old one completely rusted out around the rear wheels. I had looked into a string trimmer mower, and while very handy for trimming, not much for what I needed (thank you all for the feedback on that). Well, today I found a big box by the garage. It's a new Toro and self propelled! I am used to the very cheap mowers which take some effort, but this one is like driving a Lincoln after getting out of a Yugo! Grass is too wet to mow, but I was able to use it around the steep hills by the pool and it worked great! So happy having the self propelled. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,229 #3 Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) You know Karl...my Mom still talks about the time my Dad bought her a push lawn mower for Mother's Day. It was a memorable experience, and I was probably about 7 at the time...65 now. She still talks about it at age 87, and Dad's been gone since 2002. I hope you get the same and more enjoyment out of your gift. On the serious side, I think I am getting a new grill, and I just picked up a new horse...876...bringing it to the show.

squonk 38,840 #4 Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Went to Buffalo yesterday to see my son Darrell and my Grand Cat Charlie. got a Red Green book from them plus we went to Kentucky Greg's Hickory Pit for lunch! CHICKEN & RIBS!!!!! Had to spring for the t-shirt myself. Stopped at Harbor Freight and the place was packed! Full of a bunch of angry old guys buying tools and not wanting to give the clerk their phone # so they can get coupons. Today I got a TSC gift card so I can get a new seat for Skonk ,A gas card for the show trip, a Lowes card so I can buy my wife tools for her birthday and a card to Runnings Country Store. Can't believe no one around here had a Father's Day breakfast! Karl, you have a pool and haven't invited me? Steve how many grills does one Dinosaur need?

rmaynard 14,861 #11 Posted June 21, 2015 So far I got a new moisture separator for my compressor, and some more 400 grit sandpaper. I'm going to get this darned 416-H painted even if it's midnight on Wednesday. Oh, by the way, those gifts were from ME. The wife and cats gave me a card and some fun money to spend at the show. My son and his family will be here at 5:00 pm and I'll throw some shrimp on the barbie. He's bringing the beer. Life is good! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
