    Raising Cain......

    One of the old buggers at McDonald's this morning was talking about Herman Cain, and he said "he dunno even where Afghanistan is!" All I could say was: "Maybe not, but he knows where the USA is - seems like every politician we've had for the last 20+ years forgot THAT......". He didn't say a...

    The worth of a post

    One-liners. Long rants. Arguments. Novellas. Just a hello. All of these make up a postcount. I realize Kenny doesn't like the postcounting system. I happen to disagree to a point. I do agree when one person holds it above another member (which I've done, but I'll explain in a bit) it's...

    RIP Steve Jobs

    Dead at age 56. One of the founding fathers of modern computing, and the only reason Apple still does things the old-school way. He will be missed. :frown:

    The mightiest mower you'll ever see!

    I just bought this at the tractor show's silent auction for a whopping, bank account shattering $5! This thing is a MONSTER! Feel the rush of power with the 1960's 3.50 HP B&S!!! Make mowing a breeze with the mammouth 21" swath! Simplicity of design with only one fwd gear + reverse! Dunno...

    2-stroke washing machine.....

    This is NOT a joke. The owner of this thing said Maytag made washing machines powered by a pedal-started 2 stroke engine in the late 20's to the late 30's, when electricity was scarce in the country. As electricity came to more and more rural areas, they replaced the gasonine power with an...

    Went to a HUGE tractor show today with my son. Here's the lawn mower and garden tractor pics (at least some of them):

    Maytag Monitor, anyone?

    Here's a mid-30's twin-cylinder, two stroke Maytag 3 wheeled rotary mower. (Yes, the Washer people. More on that in the Front Porch later) Missing the handle, but cool nevertheless. exhaust outlets are under the deck - no mufflers 14 or 16 inch no carburetor - you just adjust the air...

    COOL OLD UNDER-SEAT RIDER!

    COOL OLD UNDER-SEAT ENGINE RIDER! Just went to the Chautauqua County Antique Equipment Association Equipment show today. WOW! In the 'silent auction' area, there was this incredibly COOL old Craftsman 22" (I'm guessing) under-seat engined rider. Features include: 'wind-up' starter...

    WHY IS THERE NO MURRAY FORUM?

    I am really tired of asking this. We have been told by admin, that we must be attractive to the largest base. THEN WHY DO WE IGNORE THE HUNDREDS OF NEW MEMBERS THAT HAVE ASKED ABOUT MURRAYS??????????? Leave them to 'General'? Yeah, we all see how warm and fuzzy THAT turns out. :rolleyes...

    A rant for JD - "Lurkers"

    This would be a rant done in the key of JD. I noticed the last couple of days, although your name shows up in the 'active users' list, it is OBVIOUS you are not here, and certainly not viewing one single thread for three or four hours, which is what your profile says your doing. Or "viewing...

    My first NFL game in person.....

    The owner of the shop where I work is a Buffalo Bills fan. So am I. We are the only two diehards in the whole place :laughing: (The city where I work is just a little over an hour from Buffalo) He can't make next Saturday's game, and he had 4 extra tickets and a parking pass. TOUCHDOWN...

    YES, I am back!

    I am back, LMF! Muhammad told me the bot was mis-configured. It's down to only censoring what it oughta...and that has nothing to do with what most members post around here. HOWEVER, it seems some are not accustomed to such forum drama, and I would remind such members this all a VOLUNTEER...

    Goodbye, LMF!

    PICS! The Kerry-All RER cover.....

    Here it is! This is the Kerry-all cover I got from Lloyd (Kerryall). It's especially designed for RER's. It isn't as snug-fitting as I'd prefer, but it will do the job of keeping rain off the mower, and UV rays off the seat. It's so thick, it stands all by itself! (see pic) Very heavy...

    Do away with the 'New Members' forum......

    If I have seen it once, I've seen it a thousand times: People get directed to the 'New Members' forum and asked to make an intro, and instead, they just post a question. No 'hi', no nuthin - just "I want an answer....." There is a place for that, and it's in the REST of the forum. Just plop...
