    Did the 1/2 marathon. Unfortunately, they don't do stickers for the 1/2 marathon anymore. :sadviolin:

    Just as good as I remembered it being. This place rules!

    How many of you SeCondGenBestGen'ers have done the rear brakes? I did mine yesterday. Wow... guess I have been running around with only half my brakes for the past few years. They are better than they have ever been. That said, the ebrake sucks now. I'll take the trade, but wondering what I did wrong? Was great with no brakes-held that truck on cliffs. Now, not so much. Holds just barely at 1000rpm. Tried the back up thing. Pulled the drums again and looked to see I the cable was off some how but all looks good. I asked Cygnusx191 but he was too sleepy to cognate. Ideas?

    Rear brakes are overrated.

    Riding mower died today. Second one in 16 years. Looking for recommendations. We have a Cub Cadett dealer in town as well as John Deer and Kubota. Thinking zero turn but dayam boys they are not cheap!!!

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    I've been happy with my John Deere...except JD for some reason, can't make paint stick to their metal stampings. It comes off in big chunks, no rust underneath or when the metal sits bare.

    I always bought used, 25yrs went thru 4 mowers so 3 bills, last mower was neighbor left his with bad motor & my buddy had mom's with bad trans, so we put his motor on my neighbors mower & ran that one until I moved.
    Still ran good when I gave it to the scrappers.
