Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

[def38]

You mean somebody is actually reading this nonsense?

Well then, I guess there is hope for the Washington Post, NY Times and those other fake news rags.

When I was a young lad in 7th grade, growing up in Lake Bluff, IL, I had two paper routes and the newsstand concession at the C&NW train station. I delivered the Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Herald American, The Chicago Sun Times, The Waukegan News Sun, The NY Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Milwaukee Sentinel. Oh, and I also worked for the US Post Office (another failure) as the Special Delivery Boy, hand delivering "Special Delivery" mail and parcels on my bicycle.

By the time I entered high school, I had deposited all my earnings (and holiday tips) into Postal Savings Bonds (paid more interest than US Treasuries). I paid cash for my first car, a 1963 F.I. Corvette Stingray coupe. Wish I still had the Stingray. Today, it would be worth a quarter million $s easy. Maybe Sophia would like a ride in that car...heck, I'd even open the door for her but, sorry Ms. Loren, keep your hands off my M-F tractor.

Well lets see here

my list would have a couple of tie votes

1. Jennifer Anniston

2. Sofia Loren, Sofia Vergara, Charisma Carpenter

3. Bridgette Bardou, Barbie Benton



Don't feel bad for the BIG OLD BAD USPO Mafia.

They hired me as a RFD substitute casual carrier and after going through the six months of waiting and commuting to Rochester, N.Y. for the testing and initial training and passing the tests and then being assigned to the local USPO and working with the RD carrier I was assigned with they said that I had too small a car for an RFD route and they were sorry and they hired me at the wrong time of year and they could not give me enough training before the Christmas rush.


Gotta love the way government operates and I help pay for it in one way or another.


I was going to buy the Friday wall street journal and then I looked at the price; $4.00 was a bit too much. I will stick to buying NYT on Tuesday for the science section ($3.50) and perhaps once a month buying the Sunday edition ($6.00). I buy the local rag for $1.50 and most days its not worth it except for the local obituaries.

The USPO services should be outsourced and the buildings sold. The US Gov is very poor at running businesses like the USPS and the VA. Locks, waterways and bridges are another example of very poor oversight. I'm glad I don't live in Flint, MI with their poor water system.

Too many politicians spending tax money on fancy airplane rides and their pet projects...remember, if you can't get a good civilian job, you can always become a politician. Term limits anyone?

Gotta love what Trump is doing and the results he achieves.

...but, I have thoroughly hijacked the flail mower thread so....back to your regularly scheduled program.

Not so much hijacking as it is "truth to power" and the "power of the pen".

I am hoping to see Scott Pruitt GONE, period end of story; and a true scientist put in his place
as Scott Pruitt has only made things so much worse. Mr. Pritt should be wearing the cone of shame every time he enters and shuts the door on his private secure eavesdropping proof glass walled office that cost us $43,000+ interest.




I sincerely hope that Secretary of State Pompeyo has the time and the absolute will to rebuild the Department pf State in short order.




I just heard this on the Kim Komando repeat broadcast; The gun emogee is being replaced with the squirt gun emogee which I think is perfect.

To both of you...discussing politics outside of the "Friendly Politics" forum is a good way to get a good thread closed....what say we stick with the thread topic and leave any and all political comments out of it?

I'm in.

 

[RoyJackson]

I'm in.

Gracias!
I know it's hard to resist sometimes...I've had to delete more then one of my posts for the same reason...

 

[lostcreekranch]

I agree with Roy. This has been a very informative thread, on flail mowers. Getting it deleted for “political argument” would be a shame.

Peace ... out!

Though I agree with Leonz, I also agree we should keep this thread alive by focusing flail mowers (and the beautiful women who come from countries that manufacture them). One more vote for Caroni and Ms. Loren. I'm sure the boys making the Caroni mowers achieve greatness through her inspiration.

:muttering:

OK, I promise no more politics.

But beautiful women, like the Caroni family women, well................
