Or as my cats seem to think, food tastes better when stolen..

 

Rain... Work is CRAZY busy then CRAZY slow...

 

Just had some guy call in who's putting 18's on a Smart Car and got upset that we don't keep tires in stock in our warehouse in upstate NY in the two sizes that he would need.

 

I went off on UPS today.. Waiting for STI parts, and they were shipped to my PO Box. They accepted that address, yet say they can't deliver there. No biggie... THEN they say I'd have to pay to reroute the package... No no no, that is bullshit.

Why accept an undeliverable address to begin with?

 

United Pot Smokers bud

 

Can you blame him for getting upset, look at this sweetness!

 

You couldn't find some golf cart or UTV tires that would fit?

Not without ripping the fenders off, lol.

 

There is hardly any tread on those haha

 

I have to drop off my Mom's big box JD at the shop this weekend. I'm suspecting a blown head gasket, which is supposedly common with the Intek motors they have.

I'm so overwhelmed with my to-do list, I don't even want to think about tearing it down, even though I might be capable of replacing it (assuming that's even the issue).

I've been so busy with everything else I haven't even looked at my tractor or push mower yet. My yard is looking pretty rough as I haven't even touched it.

 

My Murray has a 17hp Briggs, still going strong. I used my dethatcher and aerator this weekend..if you want to borrow for your lawn hit me up

 

I appreciate it, Chris. I was disappointed to hear Gillis went out of business because I wanted him to fix it.

In a pinch she's still got her old Toro push mower, but it will suffice for now. It just means four hours to mow.

Mine should fire up hopefully. Without a long bed or a utility trailer getting it to her house is a waste of time.

 

Yeah I just noticed today taking 2 of my cats to the vet

I have to pull my push mower out too. Helps for the edging plus sometimes I just use that for the exercise, but I only have a half acre

 

Got out of work early so I started to work on @Masshole_And_His_Taco skid plates

 

finished putting the dakar leaf packs back together and prepped the King Reservoir mounts for paint. Cant stand chrome so.... they're getting coated black with military grade epoxy paint.... hehe

Edit - they look dusty/gray because of the molykote 321 Dry film lubricant... There's Prothane supergrease between the leafs as an added lubricant.

 

They're Nobel and Gutsy at the same time.

Just my first thoughts.

Yes, it took awhile..

 

Morning all

 

Happy Friday eve everyone.

Great way to start the day coming from a Yankees win last night!

 

What's with the pot stirring? Don't you know NE gave Fairfield county to the damn New Yorkers years ago.

Edit: morning nutmeggers

 

Those are some pretty sweet rubber bands!
