There I was part 2

So after my last one I though I had the lawnmower under control well I didn't. I thought I did but while testing it out that fuel leak got worse AND it caught on fire :) Go t it put out and spent the next week figuring out who to take it to since Melissa wasn't happy with me. I decided I wasn't going to waste money having someone else charge me. So I ordered a new carb with new style solenoid and a new muffler. Got em put on, primed the system, used some starter fluid and let her run for a good 30 minutes to burn in the muffler and verify no leaks. Now the only thing I have to do if fix the governor control. I think it's missing a spring because at idle the governor arm and carb butterfly moves too much--no steady idle. Well see but I'm going to kit it's butt!!!

Romp and stomp that rust belchin sucker! You da man!

Oh yea, one more thing... I wouldn't tell the wife.

Hahaha---unfortunately she knows. Had 2 packages show up yesterday :)
Two more coming today and Monday. One is a new battery cable for the truck and one is drift master rod holder for the boat since I dropped one side of my current one I to Sardis or Enid - can't remember which. Gotta show love to all the toys so they don't get their feelings hurt lol.

Let's face it, when you get up in the morning your just a disaster waiting to happen:yikes

I wasn,t in town yesterday :Rofl

The only good luck in the deal was I was sitting down, not standing up when the phone went swimming.

Hahahahaha
Done that before too. Cost me 500 bones

My son bought a place and a shredder was in the barn. The 5 hp briggs engine was locked up. He replaced it with the Harbor Freight 6 hp engine. I told him to replace the bearings on the shredder, which he didn't. It may have ran for 15 minutes, but when it came apart it took the cylinder of the new engine with it.

Sounds like my luck.

Hahaha--I've cut it 3 or four times already. Just going a bit longer in between. It'll be fixed this week.
But a few goats would be nice.

Check community codes before packing goats in to cut the grass.

I'm in Hernando--but in the county--far as the neighborhood--screw em

My son checked the community codes where he lives. Nothing against having chickens, just goats and other animals. When his rooster got loud they changed the codes. He got rid of them before a $100 per bird fine was imposed.

A couple of our local townships have made it legal to have up to 5 chickens in a coop in the backyard. However no Roosters are permitted for the same reason your son's became a persona not grata.

Isnt a Rooster also a chicken?

Yes, but all chickens are not equal in the eyes of the law. :Rofl

Wish I had chickens. Don't mind a rooster either. Heck the alarm on my phone is a rooster crow lol. Hardly a better way to wake up in the am.

I can think of a bunch of different ways to be woken up. An none of them involve farm animals.

Lets not get carried away and make this thread go south

I've read about it lol.

A few years ago I bought a brand new 6.5 hp Briggs engines for a push mower. I used 15 gallons of gas with it without a problem. Now I have to remove the new air filter to crank it.
On a full moon cycle a rooster will crow when it wants to for over 60 hours. The other days 4 to 4:30 am is a start of the day. Sounds like Ben Franklin, a 4:30 am to 11 pm man.
