I USED 2 own 1 ... pretty neat tool, I wound up sellin it cause I didn't use it, NOW... I really could use it, DONCHA KNOW !! How many of U guys done the same dam stupid thing, get rid of something, THEN wind up wishin ya hadn"t ..??? ..:mur:..:mad:

No,Man...I never throw ANYTHING away...(just ask my wife....)

I id GIVE away 3 lawn mowers last week.
2 were classic Snapper 21" self propelled jobs: 1 B&S, 1 Wisconsin Robbin..
Those things will live on forever.
I just didn't want to try to sell, then sell for peanuts, then get called every time the buyer had a problem.........
The other was a Murray 21" mulcher with a 5hp B&S I/C engine.
Ran good, but really touchy on the throttle setting.
So, I donated to a guy who messes with that stuff as a lively hood.

Now I have a Honda powered Troybilt mower and a chipper/shredder that I can't give away, but will sell cheaper than they are worth 4 sure.

Just gotta thin the herd and quit storing all this STUFF........

UHhhYUP.. we in the process of unloading a lot of "STUFF" we've collected over the years, we don't stop at every yard sale, a LOT fewer trips to the flea-markets and just quit buying things we really can "live-without", wind-up giving a lot to thrift-stores and Goodwill, guess we are at that point in life where ya look around the house and wonder.. what the hell do I need (want) with this ?? losing the sentimentality streak as we get older and older..... :rolleyes:..:confused3:

Waving my hand in the air yelling Me me me. I need a tool, can't find it so buy another and several days later guess what I find it. I KNOW I have two hand held impact drivers and THINK there might be a third one hiding out in my shop. Curse of being a guy I think.

When we were first working on out cabin in Astor, I would purchase a case of St. Pauley Girl from the local tavern.
I would pick it up on Saturday morning..and it would be gone by Sunday afternoon.

Those were the daze........................
