Re: BIG MEETING

Tom,

(This post is mostly for Tom, cause he was my safety net in case Boobala tried to abduct me or something worse!!)

So, Tom.... Everything went great today! We met Boo-Boo and his beautiful wife over in their neck of the woods and Boo and I just chewed the fat for a couple hours while the girls went shopping in one of Florida's HUGE flea markets! We had a great time! Then they took us to their favorite restaurant that offered Southern Home Style Cookin' for lunch and the food was great! . . . . And there was tons of it! . . . . . We had to take a large-sized doggy box home with us, but luckily we don't have a dog! So we get to eat all the left-overs ourselves!

This forum has been great! Knowledgeable and helpful members, who turn out to be great friends! Who could ask for anything more? I think we should all get together and climb aboard some old tramp steamer and head down to Australia so we can go visit Bert, he seems be be a tickety-boo sort of guy... Probably he'd throw a extra kangaroo on the barbie and find a case of Fosters for all hands...

All is right with the world on this end..

All I can say is ....... a fantastic day, with fantastic people, fantastic food, fantastic weather, brought us a FANTASTIC meeting with the great couple we met through this forum.. just want Tom, Chuck, Trevor (bert) and all those members that follow this thread to know we have some of the worlds BEST people here on this site ! What a wonderful pleasure it was to meet with Roger and his beautiful wife Becky ... it's a great feeling to know that on this site, we all leave our differences and indiffereces outside and show the world we all get along sharing a common interest. If only that common interest could also include kindness and understanding of all mankind... Watch out Trevor ... if Ro-Ro gets his hands on a tramp-steamer ALL the folks down under will find out what wild n crazy guys really are !!! .. Boobala ..:thumbsup::banana::cool2:

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

I am on several motorcycle forums that have a get together each year where members come in from all over the country/world. One group tends to be smaller 20 or so and may meet at someones house for the weekend but the other one is much larger up to several hundred people and it is all about the love of American motorcycles. I can this forum being very much like that where like minded people gather to share stories and the love of all things "lawn mowers". Glad to see that people are getting together and breaking bread with one another. I am looking forward to meeting a few of the members here on my 4-corners ride this coming summer.

No motorcycle in this picture is newer then 1985, many are hand build customs by the owner.

Chuck,

Thanks for that info, I found the little triangle with an exclamation point in it.. I doubt I would ever use it (except maybe for instances like root141) - because I am a believer in the old saying, "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!"

As far as you being omnipotent Chuck, you seem to be an upright sort of guy who would deal with things fairly and squarely... I'd trust ya... But then there is another old saying, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." - Lord Acton 1887

Motorcycle Forum

Tom,

That sounds like a great deal of fun! Too bad that lawn mowers aren't designed for cross country travel! If they were we could arrange something similar! I can just see great lines of MTD variants in a multitude of bright colors, rumbling along the roadsides, keeping everything neat and trimmed as they motor along, all headed for the same destination, "THE GREAT LAWNMOWER RALLY" - - - But where would we go? . . . . It would have to be somewhere that has a giant lawn!

We will leave this idea open for discussion with the hope that out of all the folks that are following this thread, someone will suggest the perfect location. It amazes me that more people don't at least comment on here. After all, isn't that what a forum is for? A place for like minded individuals to voice their opinions regarding a fairly specific topic?? Admittedly the topics here tend to be rather broad, but what drew us all here is fairly consistent. Lawnmowers!

We encourage everyone viewing this thread to become engaged in this process and share their opinions and comments, it can only improve the experience...

"THE GREAT LAWNMOWER RALLY" - I love it! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

Well ROGER ...
There ya go AGAIN !!
Only mention MTD (Made To Disintegrate) as THEE machines to be riding upon, did you intentionally leave out MY brand of Murray because you regret joining the Navy instead of the Air Force and you are chastizing me about your incompetent mistake ...you need to cut a lawn with my Murray one time ... and feel the exhilaration of speed and agility of a finely crafted piece of machinery designed with a purposeful commitment to the comfortability of its rider coupled with superior handling characteristics ..actually it can't be explained...... it must be experienced ...

And where to have a BIG Meet ..?? TEXAS of course .. SUPER huge acres of grass .. good ol Texas Chili, warm days, cool nites, it's an open -carry state ( they do have some varmints ruunin aroun) we could watch the progress on the wall and probably help the locals round-up some of those longhorns then have a BEER N BBQ ... :laughing::laughing::laughing:

I've told ya's time n time agin .... I get like this ....:cool2::cool2::banana:

Geez Boo, you're a touchy old f@rt ain't-cha? As you are well aware MTD is a family name (progenitor) of various and sundry lawn tractors, almost too numerous to name! I thought that Murray was included in that family, am I incorrect? If so I apologize, but I did think I had included a whole squadron of lawn tractors all developed and built under the MTD umbrella... That was my intent, I certainly did not want to exclude you or your beloved Murray's from anything as important or World shaking as:
"THE GREAT LAWNMOWER RALLY"..

This event will be open to any and all riding lawnmowers capable of attending! Even my Yardman which doesn't even have a mower attached to it any longer will be welcomed! See how 'liberal' our requirements are? Certainly Murray's would not be excluded! They would be welcomed with open arms - (and as that old Rock & Roll song went - legs!)

Texas sounds great to me.. Maybe Tom can suggest just where in that great state we should congregate..

Well that sounds OK ..BUT I think you should change the word Liberal to TOLERANT .. just sayin ... cause I saw on the News yesterday people breakin windows and burning cars and the news said they were Liberals doing that ! I don't think we even want to be mentioned in a sentence with folks like that ... just my opinion of course !! ..:wink::wink:

One more thing.. I heard in Texas .. they DON't ask a man how many Acres he's got ...they ask how many SQUARE MILES ya got ?? Thinkin it might be wise to bring a grinder to sharpen some blades ...best be prepared don't ya think ??
Happy Trails to Us ....

Boobala,

I agree and I apologize. I will strike the word that begins with "L" and ends with "L" from my vocabulary and replace it with "Tolerant"...

Trouble is, I ain't very - - tolerant, that is...
