Have I mentioned yet, how nice it is to cook without breakers tripping? :lol:

... and even if the breaker would decide to trip, I can reset it myself without waiting for maintenance on Monday.

That's awesome, Marlon. So many advantages to home ownership, right?

Oh...Do you enjoy yardwork? Hope you're good with mowing, shoveling snow, all that stuff. I enjoy it most of the time but every once in a while...

I take it you're not afraid of heights, eh? As long as the ladder is a good one I'm OK - if it starts getting shaky I'm a nervous Nellie.

LOVE every minute of it all. Don't mind shoveling, not that I have a driveway to shovel... just a sidewalk.

Love mowing the lawn, don't have much of that either. As a matter of fact, my entire lot would fit in your front yard alone... I used to do this for a living... dunno what happened. Got a new lawnmower, for some reason since it's MINE (I guess), I WANT to cut the grass now! Who cares if it's cheap, doesn't have AWD and electric start (or electric period), big rear wheels, fingerprint sensors, etc.

Eventually I'll plant a garden. Always had a green thumb which I think I got from my father's mom... we used to spend all day in the backyard playing and taking care of the garden when I was a kid. Before my grandfather passed and as soon as I could walk, we'd walk to the convenience and grocery stores. Eventually the sun would start going down, she'd cook dinner for us, I'd watch TV, fall asleep and then my mom would come pulling up to get me around 2AM after work. That was the story of my grandparent-as-babysitter life.

As long as the ladder is somewhat stable I am ok at heights. I am somewhat stupid on a ladder at lower heights. For example, I was painting across the front and maybe only about 20 foot off the ground but turned around backwards so I could get to it easier. I got so comfortable that when I needed to move I almost walked off the ladder :shock:

Ladders don't have high enough weight limits for my tastes. They make me nervous.

what I hate about mowing the lawn...those few blades of grass that pop up right after you put the mower away! It's like they're mocking you.

Oh they are very much mocking ya!
Those are blades of grass that have learned to duck when ya come on by with the mower. Ya have to snail crawl up to them with scissor's in your teeth until your close enough to reach out and clip it off :shock:

Goats work better
or chew it off yourself
Personally I roll mine and smoke em
never could figure out why people smoked grass though, looks better just leaving it in the yard :shock:

TAHOE · **Posted:** Sun Jul 14, 2013 8:37 pm

Well its that time of the year I get to shave the goats getting ready fair next week. Went to move the goat stand which I actually made out of a rear hitch basket tray so it still has the receiver tube. Sits outside, I pulled it from the wall and next thing I know.....got busted in the ankle by a wasp. Man, my ankle swelled up, I've never had a wasp sting swell up like that, small welt, but have my ankle got bigger. Looked like I sprained it.
Ice pack is my friend

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Jul 14, 2013 8:40 pm

That's no fun at all getting stung. Some hurt like all get out.
Hope it gets to feeling better soon!

If you have any antihistamines around you might take one or two of them.

(Heed the warning/use/dose instructions!)

Been chasing the little rat ba***** for two years now.
Tried every home remedy there is
they leave for a while then come back
Now they are messing back by the garden
Maybe the high heat will bake the little suckers :ROTFL:

TAHOE · **Posted:** Mon Jul 15, 2013 9:56 am

My mom has got moles something fierce. Her's are so bad, one spot in the yard loks like the prairie dog mounds from out west. I have to mash then down with tractor tires before I can mow, they are like 12-18" around and stick up 6" tall. Never seen moles do it before like this. :banghead:

Speaking of heat...... walked into my lab this morning 86* at 8 am, already up to 90*. Glad I have an enclosed office elsewhere I can work out of, but gotta go back in there at 11 to start testing :banghead:

Swelling went down in ankle, but little sore. I've never been allergic to bee/wasp stings other than a small welt, may have to get tested, alway a chance it has gotten worse.

Ya better get tested, sometimes allergies can and do pop up as we age :banghead:

When the lil suckers mound like that they are very active and that's also where they'll come out. I wish I lived in the country and could bring out the old 12 gauge to take care of it. I can watch the lil buggers make their tunnels but have become very very shovel savvy :banghead:

Just may go the steel rod route and play some lawn darts :ROTFL:

Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaah off to try something new :shock:

It could've been a dirty bug and put some infection in there. It's happened to me a couple times and my daughter got a dirty bee sting her first day of kindergarten on the playground at recess. Poor kid looked like someone popped her in the eye. I got a dirty spider bite on my knee and it started to swell real bad. I went to the ER and they plugged me into an IV with antibiotics. If it seems worse, don't mess around. Some of those infections can take you out.

Hey Ted
change of topic
Did you ever get the noise figured out or repaired ??

Tahoe,
hope you get to feeling better
Friend of mine was cleaning out her car on Friday and was bitten by something
Went to the Dr. and he said it was a Brown Recluse spider.
So he gave her antibiotics, she woke up in the night, hands/face etc swollen
here she was allergic to the antibiotics :shock:

If you're talking about the whining gear noise, it's just what I thought it was. I took it to the Parma store and had them look at it. They ordered a new ring and pinion and master rebuild kit. The manager told me he would call to make an appointment when he gets a shipping confirmation. The clunking thumping noise formed out to be a bad CV joint. Another thing the Columbiana mechanic missed, I specifically asked them to check for that and was told they were fine.
For experts, they sure made some rookie mistakes, just sayin.
