  1. In my experience, transaxles are more apt to give trouble than motors. I buy mowers off of craigslist, repair as needed and resell them. A lot of low end hydrostat tractors and ZTRs use transaxles that can't be serviced. If the cheap plastic cooling fans break or fail, they will overheat and cook the innards. No recourse except to replace the entire unit. Serious slopes will also cause overheating but it has to be very steep. I have never had a Briggs or Kohler motor give me trouble. Kawasaki either. I collect old Cub Cadets and the old Kohler K-Series cast iron motors that they use are tough SOBs. Many garden tractor pulling rigs use them.
  2. I turned it off and went to till the tater patch. I left the DVR on just in case. Guess I'll watch it this evening.
  3. Cat's in a much smaller box. I should have said horse or elephant to do justice to the joke.
  4. Welp, I fucked up. I turned down a trip to Florida to help install some equipment for one of our clients. Turns out that the plant backs up to Sebring Raceway and practice for the season opening Trans-Am race is going on right now. Our tech can see quite a bit of the track from the back lot of the factory. Of course, he has no appreciation for any of it. All I knew about the factory was that it was in FL. I had no idea the mailing address was Sebring. That might have caught my attention.
  5. Schrodinger's dog
  6. Don't. It'll just be me and the dog. She smells bad too.
  7. Wolf Chili, Spam, Vienna Sausages , kippered herring and sardines are in abundance in our pantry. We also have lots of flour for biscuits and bread making. I can't think of anything better than fried Spam ( 2 crispy slices per layer) with 3 Kraft Amercan cheese slices separating the meat and homemade biscuit. I use Kraft Sandwich spread for lube but I know that isn't popular around here. I have this meal at least once a week and I'm still ticking at 70.
  8. Not by shooting, for sure. The places around Liberal, KS, Turpin,OK that we used to shoot over have been decimated by poison. We hardly ever see a dog there anymore.
  9. MiLB has the best promotions. Turkey Mike's BBQ sounds a little sketchy.
  10. Middle school, but, yeah.
  11. Makes Shaka seem like a fucking genius, don't it?
  12. Yeah, the Shocks have come a long way since the Mike Cohen years. Big game coming up Sunday at Cincy. Both teams really need a win to cement a bid.
  13. Yeah. Sad drive home.The offense hasn't looked quick since league play started. Nothing has looked confident after the UGone struggle. How many shot clock violations were there? End of game plays seem to be Marshall's weakness.
  14. Wife and I just got home from a nut/striper fry at our country club. No pics cuz I didn't do any of the cooking. I'm not sure why we don't eat calf fries at least once every couple weeks or so. Christ, they were good. Buddy and I polished off a bottle of Edradour single malt Scotch afterwards. I might sleep til kickoff tomorrow.
  15. Same here. My brother lives across the state line in York, ME so we visit often. I really like the area around Lake Winnapesaukee.
  16. Winter is the only drawback for me. If you are good with Chicago, you won't have a problem with Portsmouth.
  17. Portsmouth, NH. Road tracks in Connecticut, sports and airport in Boston.
  18. If you do go with Pex and DIY get one of the manifolds. I live near the Viega factory so that's the brand I have but there are others. It makes installation a breeze and future maintenance much easier.
  19. I was hopeful that @hullabelew was Adrian. He says he isn't but I don't believe him.
  20. Packin' it in, IYKWITA
  21. World is full of assholes. It aint just Surly.
  22. More Richard Wright and Gilmour. I like this arrangement so much better than the version from Wright's album.
  23. Today, Echoes is my favorite PF tune. Tomorrow it will be something else. The call and response between Gilmour and Wright at the end of this is the best.
  24. Wife and I are going to Tulsa for the game next week. I felt pretty good about a quick getaway, easy Shocker win and casino time when I booked the hotel and bought tickets. I'm not so sure now. The AAC is much better than I thought it would be.
  25. I watched Penny in action when Memphis played at WSU. He sat in the timeout huddles and held the clipboard while Mike Miller did all of the coaching. Penny is just the recruiter and bill payer.
