The post whore thread.

Changed oil and lubed the John Deere today, a lengthy process made worse by the paper wasps that nest in the loader bucket arms through various drain holes. Nasty buggers, I used most of a can of wasp spray on them. I manage to get stung two or three times a year but they didn't get me today, yet.

Yesterday, I drove I-70 across the state and squeezed through less than 5 minutes before they closed the road through Glenwood Canyon. It was closed on the possibility of flash flooding in the areas denuded of vegetation by the fire last year. It's still closed and may be indefinitely if there's any chance of rain. It looks likely Glenwood Canyon will still be closed when I head east next week. The alternate route is north through Craig, Steamboat Springs, Kremmling and back to I-70 at Silverthorne, a 4.5 hour detour! I think we'll be dealing with Glenwood Canyon road closures for the next several years.

I just have the servicing dealer do it. Costs more, but the service record is easy to account for if I want to sell/trade it. Most importantly it keeps me off the garage floor.

Invest in a lift, We did

I did the same today, though my little JD lawn mower is lesser in nature than yours, I figure.
Don't neglect your lawn equipment and give them some lovin too. Fresh oil, filters and such.

I've been kicking ass around the property this past couple weeks, looking pretty good actually. Flagpole gets installed on the 5th, gonna tell the trash guys to pound sand for boning me on my dumpster, and kick the propane provider to the curb as well and sign up with a competitor instead.

Don't tell me you wont fill my small bottles when you're here filling the house tank, blow me....and don't hose me over on a fvckin dumpster for $70 a month. Assholes.

I knew you were going to say that.

I would have to do a lot of oil changes to pay for a lift.

Don't forget your sunscreen.

I spent about three hours mowing around the property the other day, and burnt the shit out of my knees. Dumbass.

Don't forget, the CDC says sunscreen only works if everyone is using it.

paying for a tool, isn't the objective. It's having the tool available, when YOU, need it. The lift, lathe, welders, mills, saws and other misc tooling will never pay for them self. Wandering ou to the shop anytime, day or night, is where it pys off.



besides, 1 time laying on the ground in the winter, because you have to. Will be more then enough payment wise, for the lift.

If it could save 1 knee, isn't it worth it?
