COLD DARK ROOM

I think all of the BRANDS that were “true” are failing these days. Guess companies get too comfortable in their success and don’t strive so hard for the quality?? Who can say, but i am a huge fan of Honda Motors.. they seem to last forever still. Good luck! And good job Wifey on the coupon.. I LOVE a price break!!!

Good Morning All,
Some interesting posts today, what with lizards playing stowaway, and running over tourists (I mean what is this world coming to when the locals treat their tourists like they are common road ways? Tut tut tut). And dragons in the making - making roommates in South Africa jealous! And then there is the horror of our regular bird and postcard updater leaving us for 8 weeks in the near future. I am not sure if I can survive not not seeing a certain person post a post on a daily basis. OH the withdrawal symptoms will be horrible.

It is Hump day today, and I was wishing a colleague of mine a good one, and he asked me what that meant, so I of course told him that it was referring to a Wednesday being the middle of the week and therefore it was a hump that need to be gotten over to get to Thursday, I paused and then told him that of course there could be another meaning to it, if he wanted to think like that. whereby he then told me that in his community that was referred to as a pineapple evening. You guys can read that however you like, because that is all I am going to share with you.

I know. The Real Estate agent we are working with I’m sure thinks we are “difficult” to please, but i will need a garden/property large enough for distant neighbors, trees, bushes, a lawn....etc along with the standard nice pool area. We’ve come very close.
Ogh, water access or close to water as well.

Ok....Update: after some internet research, then some checking to see what is available locally, we made a trek over to our local Lowes and bought a brandy new Craftsman self-propelled front wheel drive 21 inch cut “push” mower complete with a Honda 160cc engine. Our previous two mowers were Troy Built with Briggs & Strstton engines. I’m now convinced they are meant to have engine failure at the 2-3 yesr period. Second B&S mower/motor to fail at the three year mark.

Anyhow, new mower is home, out of the box, assembled, filled with both oil and gas/petrol and started on the very first 1/2 pull. Runs like a champ.

Final cost $315.00 - wifey had a 10% coupon in her back pocket for such an (unscheduled) expense.

Way to go Wifey!

The pull rope reminds me of a time Pete and I were camping on BLM land (no amenities).
Our generator (10k) was out of service, so we borrowed one from friends. That thing was loud enough to rattle your teeth loose!
After we had run it maybe 3 nights, we woke one morning to find...during the night someone had cut the pull rope off!
I guess they were tired of listening to it! [emoji23]
