That's when it gets interesting. Those kind of chases almost always end with a sudden, and I mean SUDDEN, stop. Oak trees have that effect!!! John[/QUOTE] I promise not to talk on a cell phone while driving my lawnmower. That make you feel better. What the heck I send you back one of those Get out of Jail FREE cards you sent me a while back. We all know that half a story is not as much fun as the whole story. Bet you got every bodies interest peaked. Me I know the whole story and how boring it is. Surprised it came up on the forum. It is one of those stories best left unread. No good comes from the telling.

Ron,

I'm glad you know the other half of the story, but you're wrong if you think it's what I'm talking about.

Basically, what you think I was thinking about, isn't what I was thinking about, although you thought I was thinking about it. I think I thought about something else when I thought about posting here, but you thought I was thinking about something else. I wasn't thinking about that though, but now I wish I thought of something entirely different so you wouldn't have thought about that thing your thinking about now. That thing your thinking about isn't what I was thinking about, although I thought about it now, and I think I know why you thought about it when I posted a thought about it here. I think I'll think about something else.

John

I wish I would've saved that newspaper clipping

I bet YEE-HAW was said somewhere along the route.

My very first DWI arrest was for a guy on a moped. He tried to get away by crossing the county line. He actually stopped and thought he was safe. Wrong. He got a lesson in the laws of the State of North Carolina. He was not a happy camper.

Not just an idiot, a drunk idiot!!!

Well our 18.5 hp mower and wagon was delivered yesterday, and I couldn't be happier. Of course, my wife doesn't understand why a 42 inch deck won't be fine to mow five acres. I tried to get her to go for the 26 hp with a 60 inch deck, but nooooooooooooo! However, I got the closest acre to the house mowed in what I thought was fantastic time, and you are right about those can holders! Now I need to get the big double bagger for it so I can bag all these leaves that keep falling! __________________ Sashi-no-eda.blogspot.com

I gave up on bagging the clippings and leaves a long time ago. Got mulching blades for the old chariot. Now I just keep running over it till it is chopped up fine. Then I leave it on the ground to rot and become fertilizer. Recycling at its best. Besides it means I can play with my toy a bit longer.
Two beers an acre isn't all that bad. Well there is the gas thing ;o)
