NWI INGO General Post - Part 11

[Bill B]

Well given that you are home on pain meds you should have plenty of time to post all sorts of jibberish to keep this thread at the top of the page.

Actually not so much on the pain meds. I took one on Tuesday evening and so far that's been it. Maybe I'll stop at the lounge after my appointment this morning.

1775, that is the one I picked up for my 6 inch GP100. It is probably the best out there for someone that doesn't want to start machining to install the scope. I haven't put mine together yet, I wanted more useable rail so I had a machinist cut a couple more rails in the top for me.

That's good to hear. I thought about getting her cut but after finding this and seeing reviews as well as your can't wait to order and install.

What was it, a monument to the crappy duplexes they tore down?

Knee cartilage is supposed to be smooth, like glass. Mine looked like shag carpet. Hopefully it'll be good for another 100,000 miles now.

Made 2 gallons of weed killer & 2 gallons of Roundup. Sprayed my property and 8 others' with the leftover. Good deed for the day done.

Must be nice. I can mix up 25 gallons and not finish spraying

Went out to mow the lawn and white smoke was pouring out of the mower. Looked like bad oil if I had to guess. Drained the mower and refilled, all was good. Been neglecting my lawn and having a neighbor's son do it the last 2 times for $10 each time. Needed to edge, weed whack, and pull weeds bad. Took a couple hours, but the lawn is looking good for the 4th. Now I think I'm off to the liquor store to grab a couple bottles of bourbon that are on hold for me.

My lawn tractor is in the shop, as a general rule my big tractor stays OUT of the 'dog yard' but today, with my wife badgering me, I opened up the double gate and took the tractor in to mow.

BIG MISTAKE.

Yard has an expensive aluminum fence.

Big tractor weighs about 7000#, plus the weight of the mower deck, so maybe add another 1000#. Overall length is about 21' or 22' from the front of the Front End Loader to the rear of the mower deck out back.

Big tractor meets alumunim fence. Just barely. Tore out an entire fence panel by the time I got the tractor backed away. If you were within 2 miles of my property you could have heard several variations of the F-bomb.

My wife is leaving me alone now.

My wife would have promptly told me how stupid I was for taking the tractor in there.

Thankfully all of our fences are heavy wooden posts. I may or may not have hit a couple of them over the years with our light duty deck.

Got both.

The Manhatten is a passable Manhatten but I think its a bit thin, I actually pour it and then add a little bit of Eagle Rare bourbon to it, not much, but just enough.

The Groth is AMAZING.

My wife would have promptly told me how stupid I was for taking the tractor in there.

Wife was the one who wanted me to take the tractor in there




Got this one today. Gonna break the seal tonight.

 

[aclark]

Sipping the Groth now. Neat its a bit hot, but with 1 cube its excellent! Gotta be careful or this bottle might be empty by the end of the weekend.

Manhattan will probably be another day.
