Looks like I have a present coming]my $$$. Got email late yesterday saying he had the kit and was going to. Posting a lot of books, looks like no one reads any more or not interested in history.

Going to add a couple of pictures. My first garden. Big leaf is 17" across. Did not plant a pumpkin, but that is what it turned out to be. Did have other pictures or may have some, they are just hiding. other is Zucchinis 1 day earlier they were about 1/2 that size. There were good, though they might have gone to seed. Nope very good eating. had some other things & gave a lot away. That was when I didn't know anything. Next year had expert help , & got almost nothing. All of this years weed are gone, birds.

Need to go get spiders for the box,( 2 legged bushings ). could not get it up to speed yesterday /Kicked right off today. Sure Glad.:dance1:

Wanted to get things out of the motor home bays. wind up key is broken. May just pry 1 of them open or cut around the locks. In there is a model engine starter, though about buying another. At over $100, don't think so. Some day, will start playing again.

Some more rain, have not checked dust gauge. One was pretty good & another fair. Real early for monsoons to start.

Brought table in from tin shed. 30X60 & heavy. Drag it a little rest back, drag some more. That was without legs, they were also heavy. Started up steps , & got my injury for the day. hit my knuckle a good 1, took it 2 days to scab. It's up & cluttered already. It is to pack things up on. Now need to bring in a better chair.

More later

To late gone now.

Bah Humbug, bla, bla, & so on. I really needed to go to town yesterday, knew it was going to be a bad day. But it was even worse than I could have even dreamed of. No sleep in over 36 hours, tired before I even left.

Main goal was to mail out Kubota's kit (LOL), & one other thing.

Go to Harbor Freight & get a bunch of stuff. Got too much, but need to get a little bit more, tomorrow. Only about 65+ miles. Next goal was to go to hobby shop & get some items. Sign says open, nope open at 10 or maby later.. Time to kill, find another little hobby shop, Its not airplanes, trains, cars & so on. Back to #1 yep its open. Oh Crap they are going out of business, hardly anything in there. Nice guy says Inter net put him out of business. Got a few props, mostly sizes nobody wants or uses. Has to used engines, parts missing. Ask what he wants for them. Says about 120,maybe less make an offer. Tomorrow I make him an off he can't refuse LOL.As if there is another store near by. Well maybe on a another street, its a few miles north. lots of traffic & so on.


There is another store about 60 miles north of here. Free way under construction, go slow take detours & on & on. Know where it should be, can't get there from here. Go past it, come back, put some gas in truck. get directions they are wrong, make another several mile loop to come back to where I was. Ask another guy directions to a drug store. Make a short loop & ask another, not quit right by close. Now I'm on the right track. No store where it should be, Moved???

Give up 75 miles give or take a little back to where I need to go. Packing & mailing supplies, Nope 2 stores, pick up a few odd ball things. Off to wally world, Dive it things all in use, store too big to wander around in. Off to Lowe's, 1 cart left dead battery, things start to get better, Got gas at Fries, most gas I ever put in truck. Now to PO & get the mailing done. Looking for the flag that in front, don't see it, go right on by. Realize I have gone to far. Go back get mailing done. Girl says I'll get them & take them out for you. Fine with me. Postage higher than expected, got to charge more. yep here comes the girl, bag cart FULL of boxes.
She loads them in truck. Bed is full I mean full. Get here to take 1 bundle back.

Deana is over get beer & smokes & home I go. Broke my rule don't drink & drive. Sipped a beer for about 25 miles, Get on dirt road & sip another, only 3 miles to go. made it home at last, very tired but here now can relax & maybe sleep. No to the sleep thing. Sip another beer, Hit pee potty every 10 minuets. Eventually sleep about 10 minuets, now awake OH crap. Play net a little, see rotten TV. Finally get a few hours sleep.Guess what, can't sleep again. So taking old engines apart to fix & sell. It's going pretty well, only broke 1 Allen wrench & 1 knife blade & did not stab myself.

Back to tearing up engines now. Got 1 fun thing OOOGA Horn for truck as it's don't work.

Hunk of crap windows wants to update, & will no.

Crash, I understand about trying to find stores and searching for things... I almost don't go to town anymore because it is frustrating at times. I spent too much time the last time I went to town trying to find some PVC fittings and still got one wrong... wife picked up right one when she was in town. I needed a 120mesh filter for dripline, should be no problem, Home Depot sells the dripline, but not the filter. Others sell dripline but not filter, finally gave up and ordered online.

Needed replacement belt for finish mower, called local dealer and waited on hold and then found out it was not stocked, special order, could have it in a week for $$ plus shipping plus tax. Ordered online and will have in a week (quicker than local dealer) for less money, same shipping, no tax.

Local business needs to pay attention to what they stock (drive belt for mower should be a no brainer, it is the mower they sell with the tractors they sell) to stay competitive. They don't need to stock everything, but common parts for the products they sell would be nice.
