Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Single people that are in a taxable bracket get fucked on taxes. I always have 33% taken out of my paychecks, but then I get most of it back at the end of the year because my overall income is so low I fall out of the taxable bracket.

 

I saw guys out mowing lawns still when it dumped down 2" of rain here in a 4 hour time period back when it flooded. I thought they were fucking insane haha! It was raining so hard my wipers can't keep up and they were just out mowing away. haha It's not so much that they are out in it, as it is the fact that the lawn mower doesn't just clog up every 2 feet. haha

 

*manor.

42

And I paid them in turnips. And they liked it.

 

why are you sad about that?? haha thats a damn good raise.

yea i was lazy about it..i had lawns 4 days a week, but only 4-6 lawns.

But when i was at john deere i had to mow everything in two days. Of course..i was never more loaded then that summer..haha

But yea you only want to work 4 days..plus then you get long weekends haha

my mower wasn't commercial grade..wasn't doing it that serious i guess. Commercial grade mowers also don't fit here..my tractor had a 30'' cut. So i could use it on small yards and do them in 40-30 minutes. Was a zero turn one. got damn good at that thing..

 

I mean im in college and not picking coffee anymore, while prices nearly tripled. ahaha

 

oh haha was gonna say..

yea mowing in the rain..never fun. Usually if it rains in the morning your fine by the afternoon. Problem is in June in Powell it'll rain 3 times in the day in short busts with blue bird skys inbetween..PITA haha

 

only half an acre? shit..id expect more from that..that looks like a 52'' mower..

Mine was a Dixon awesome little mower. Dixon was the first company to do Zero turning. bought out by Huskivarna or whatever.

 

They were all mowing businesses that don't really have much for lawns so they were all using push mowers so they wouldn't be that heavy.

 

yea zero turn mowers take a lot of practice to get really good at them no doubt. Like most people turn them by pivoting on one axis..which works...but it tears up the lawn..you can never turn without both wheels moving. So you have know how to make a 180º pivot with both wheels moving but moving over a lane..

i loved it. Was fun. i got so good with that freaking tactor..i could do the lawn lines through trees if ya know what i mean.

 

okay..i really want to watch this..but fuck youtube..can't watch anything anymore without loading issues..

a guy on here was using that kits or something like it to make inclinometer and an atitude meter for his truck.

 

I have been wanting to do it too! I found that thread a couple days ago but haven't had a chance to look through it yet.

 

yea would be sweet. Just go to radio shack and get a small project box to house the circut boart and make a faceplate for the LCD and mount it and your good.

althought i never really got the point of having one in the truck..i mean..unless you know what the angle of tipping is for your rig..

 

seems like overkill for just those two uses in the truck..what else are you thinking of using it for?

 

I thgouth you had lots of personal data on that...

It would be really nice if you can figure out when you are 1 degree away from the edge of the envelope...

Hmm, you have a big shop. Get a pile of old mattresses on one side, forklift on the other. Please report back promptly.

 

Haha! You bet! Ill get right on it

 

So why not get a handheld GPS with maps and tracking too?

 

Just saying...

 

mental note:

in the future, don't get fox's

 

Is that corrosion? Kind of looks like rock chips... And would you fair any better with any other brand given the conditions you live in? If I were you I would like your next shocks with some sort of salt protectant.

 

Whenever I do finally get Icons I'm paying the extra money to have them put their special coating on them....
