COOL! That thing is SO 80's! I mean like, TOTALLY! (in a good way)

Notice how Snapper-like that deck design is? Before Honda went rear-discharge. How cool! I like it! Was this the freebie frankenstein?

AWESOME, DUDE!

Yep. And as a former parts man at a Honda M/C and power equipment dealer, I had total cooperation in looking for parts for such an old machine. Actually, they like the old ones as much as I do. My old boss there has a Honda 100 watt generator(yes, 100 watts) that is just a tad smaller than a 6-pack cooler from the 60s.

And no, I don't have a picture of it.:laughing:

That the two-stroke one? I've seen an itty-bitty generator at an implement show.....they were running a light bulb with it........it sounded like a weedwhacker, and was, as you said, no bigger than a 6-pack......didn't see what kind it was.

The Better Half went to Mclean High School -

I spent 30 years teaching in Fairfax County.

Well... it was a struggle. And that is all I will say about that.

I went to Thos. Jefferson. It's now a magnet school for science. When I went there, I couldn't even spell science.

Some schools combine middle and high school together....like mine did.....and just called the whole deal 'High School'.

BTW....."High School Never Ends"......don't expect anyone here to get the reference to that, but I said it anyhow...:biggrin:

Fairfax County Schools has 9-12 as High School, most Middle Schools are just 7 & 8 a few are 6, 7, & 8
Depending on when he went to school and what schools he was in --- It is possible he was in one of my classes.
I'll agree that Learning never ends, but MY High School days absolutely ended in 1970 !

To be honest, I don't know. I do know we started it one time during a power failure and a 80 watt bulb nearly choked it out.
