Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

The "little" mound (7yd) has been greatly reduced by filling the depression and spreading around where it was dumped.
I'll probably spread a bit more then cart the remaining dirt to fill in truck ruts and other low spots.
Then spread some rye seed and add water.....

I have not seen any Maine caught sardines around here as of yet.
King Oscars are packed in Poland
Crown Prince in Morocco
Brunswicks are Canadian
Unsure about the others at this time.

My major point of concern is that the fish are wild caught.........(and, TASTY)

side note: my son walked by and looked at the tank and said "Old and Busted, New Hotness"
I swear he waits weeks if not months to use a movie quote on something I'm working on......:laughing:

Lobstering

Actually this should be an advertisement for Grundens.

There was a lull in the weather at Low Tide (0930) so the neighbor and I decided to go out anyway. - - - **!!!RAIN!!!** - - - Holy Mother of Moses did it rain!! It was so damn rough, even here inside the islands, that we had a hard time locating our buoys.

But we found all our traps and got them all hauled, emptied out, re-baited and re-set.. We had to leave the engine in gear (reverse) while we were hauling or we'd have ended up ashore or else in the next bay over! It was blowing almost as hard as it was raining..

I had to tell you guys, I didn't want you to think I was a woosey..

Here are some great pictures and history of the sardine industry in Maine over the last 100 years or so.

It will give you some idea of why old time Mainers were tough S.O.B.'s
