HERE I AM PAUL!
I got tied up at work installing a new walk in cooler. It was one of those, everything that could go wrong did jobs. It's still not quite right. I think I'll have to replace the new TEV.
So once I got home on Saturday my parts finally came in for my mower. Well most of them. So I set in to tearing it apart and repairing it. Still had more to fix but it would mow so I finally got my grass cut here around my house. It was only about 18 inches tall. Had a lot of limbs from recent storms to clean up also. I sill had about 3 more acres to mow. Late Saturday night the rest of my parts finally showed up (9pm) so I done my normal spring maintenance on my mower and when I started it the exhaust was suddenly really loud. The top of the muffler busted open. So I took it back apart and got my Welder out and carefully welded it back up. It almost completely ripped the top off of the muffler. Reinstalled and now it's working great! So since I was already nasty from that job I decided to go ahead and mow the other 3 acres. Lots of trees and leaves and pecan and hickory shells, dusty as hell!
Worked 11 hours on Monday and was off today, decided to try to get all my weedeating done, well not before I had to work on the weedeater for 3 hours. Finally works good now and I got it all weedeated. Now my back is killing me and I'm tired as hell. But I'm back on top of my yard, with the weather the way it has been I'm only about 2 weeks behind.
I finally read through the thread, man what a turn out! It felt like old times on PA! New blood and old friends all at the same place and time. I could see everyone's faces and hear their voice as I read through the post. I guess I could have done like ol BJ and took pictures of my mower!
I don't have any recent pics from bows but I'll try to put a couple up from a bow I made Andy from feathers&woods.
Hope to get in on the fun this weekend if everything works out this time.
GREAT TO SEE EVERYONE!
