clueless 3,241 #1 Posted May 22, 2019 So last Sat. afternoon I'm out messing around in the shop, I was feeling a little haggard so I put in a couple Merle CD's. About half way through the first CD, neighbor fires of his year and a half old craftsman rider, it starts hunting bad at idol but smooths out some a full throttle, of he goes, I turn up the volume a little. About 10 minutes later neighbor across the street fires up his 4 year old toro Z turn same thing, off he goes, a little more volume. Lady down the road fires off here 5 year old craftsman Z turn, about 5 minutes in to the cut, yep you guessed it, volume now at 7. I pulled out two of my 32+ year old WH, my 26 year old JD, to charge the batteries, and both my old generators to get ready for hurricane season. I waited till they were done cutting their yard, then fired them all up, the only thing hunting was me for another beer . Over the years I've told them to stop using ethanol gas or at least use it within 2 months, do they listen, . All I can say is thank goodness, for non ethanol gas, Anheuser Bush, and of course Merle Haggard .

Pullstart 66,777 #2 Posted May 22, 2019 Well played, my friend! Well played! Fortunately we don’t get much neighborly interference, but my shop radio system is loud enough to work on the other side of the house or out back and still get a crystal clear sound! there are 4 cabinets up on the shelf behind that hood and the only thing missing is a bigger amp! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 10,224 #5 Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Growing up in Massachusetts the Saturday morning sounds are quite different than they are in Maine.In mass my dad was usually the first one to fire up the push mower after 7 am and never on a Sunday.In Maine I usually around 10 am like to do a little target practice on Saturday morning's when all is quiet, and after about a half hour or so all of a sudden I am hearing shot's from other enthusiast's as well, I guess it just take's someone to initiate the rest of the firing squad, then thing's go about our regular business such as yard work etc. After that a little Merle singing The bottle let me down while sipping a cold one. God Bless The USA. Edited May 23, 2019 by JCM 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
